Praying 5 times a day is giving me dreadfull carpet burns on my head and bacon smells so good when its getting cooked at our local cafe that I really must give it a try.

How can you leave Islaam and go to Christianity.....
There is something wrong with you....
Question:
I am currently in a philosophy of religion class and my teacher is an atheist. He claims that under an Islamic state if a born Muslim converts to another religion he is killed. Please tell me if this is true.
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
The punishment for apostasy (riddah) is well-known in Islaamic Sharee’ah. The one who leaves Islaam will be asked to repent by the Sharee’ah judge in an Islaamic country; if he does not repent and come back to the true religion, he will be killed as a kaafir and apostate, because of the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "Whoever changes his religion, kill him." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 3017).
It is well-known in Sharee’ah that the punishments (hudood) are not carried out on minors, because they have not yet reached the age of responsibility; but in the case of those who have reached the age of responsibility, the punishment (hadd) applies, without a doubt.
The person who knows the truth and believes in it, then turns his back on it, does not deserve to live. The punishment for apostasy is prescribed for the protection of the religion and as a deterrent to anyone who is thinking of leaving Islaam. There is no doubt that such a serious crime must be met with an equally weighty punishment. If the kuffaar do not give people the freedom to cross a red light, how can we give freedom to people to leave Islaam and disbelieve in Allaah when they want to?
It seems that the intention of the teacher mentioned in the question was to shock the students with news of this ruling, in order to mislead them from the way of Allaah. You must respond and explain to him and the other students as much as you can.
May Allaah make you and us bearers of His Message and defenders of His Sharee’ah.

None of the above...
The only real thing for you to do is to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Savior of Mankind, accept his death as your payment for all sins you have or will ever commit... Pray to accept his atonment and then forgive all those who have trespassed against you! This will open the way through the Grace of GOD to make you a new person in Christ...
There is not anything you can do to save yourself except accept Jesus and the forgiveness of GOD in your life...
The price was paid and now you just have to accept it... Then the Holy Spirit will come into your life and help direct you to become a Spirit Warrior; one who learns to help others and lives according to the guidlines of the holy scriptures...
That is it, no priest, or anyone else is needed...
Just you and GOD!!! May GOD bless you I pray!!

You don't sound like a Muslim, however all you need is faith in God, don't follow man made rules, check out several different religions, but remember they are all man made, so a lot of what you read will be connected to that religion gaining power, and brainwashing the people. You don't need a church to pray, or a book to follow, pray anywhere, anytime and God will here you

Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

you dont have to ask a priest Anything. You have to repent of your sins, ask Jesus to forgive you, believe He is the risen son of God that takes away your sins, that He died for you. Has nothing to do with priests or wearing crosses. Read the Holy Bible, it will help you also.

It' simple. Probably the best thing to do is visit a christian church and speak to the pastor. But being a christian simply means accepting Jesus as lord and savior of your life.

you dont need to talk to priests or do anything, just change as changing a pair of socks.
Just disappear from the mosque and thats it. no one will chase u up or criticise you.
Visit christian websites on net, learn stuff and visit a church to see what it's like. Easy as that.

by confessing you are a sinner in need of a Savior, believe in your heart Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of Mary the Virgin that he died on that cross for your sins and that he rose again on the third day follow him, do his works and obey his commandment to Love the Lord thy God Love your neighbor's and Love your enemy for if any man says he Loves God but hates his brother that man is a liar
