I am christian (catholic) thinking of becoming a Muslim as western society values have become rotten?

Question

I have grown up in western culture and as i grew up watching what little family values and self respect western society has for itself destroying itself sexual through sexual acts that breed aids to other countrys as well and broken family units that destroy the futures of children, without being taught what is and what is wrong .Western society now feeds on the addiction of people (which is abuse)through gambling ,drugs ,government drugs ,advertisers and pornography as i can think of more as well.The west now values the dollar over a healthy society and in the 1950's society valued the family and good work ethic overall .Changing religion is a lifestyle change.What do you think, it is a good idea or not?.A clean home is healthy home,A clean country is a healthy country .

You know, you really shouldn't be asking for the opinion of others on such an important life decision...
Personally I think that you should ask yourself if this is the right thing to do...
I have seen other posters saying that also.. and so far, one saying that if you want to become an extremist then become a Muslim...
Islam has many qualities if followed correctly.. unfortunately though, many people have used this beautiful religion as an excuse to do bad things...
I won't lie to you though, STD's are everywhere, even in many muslim countries.. no one deny's this, but they do everything in their power to prevent it, and it's working..
As a muslim myself, I find that many of the aspects of the religion have prevented me to do things that I probably would have done if I didnt believe in these values, and I thank God everyday that I have been blessed with the ability to be a good Muslim...

I guess the best thing to do, is to find someone who has recently converted to Islam and have a chat with them about converting and how it has changed their lives.. Possibly someone who was a Catholic that converted to Islam.. as you might find that talking to a born Muslim might be a little predjudiced or a little intimidating.. almost as if they are pushing you to seal the deal... They don't see what they are doing, but it can get a little intimidating...

If you would like to talk to me, just give me an email.. would be more than glad to chat to you more about this issue...

Peace and Love..

Islam is a religion of submission. The problem is that people have let God (the real and only God) out of his place. They don't want to live or to do what he wants says. You want to get into an extreme hating mindset? go ahead an become a muslim. You think Christians have spread AIDS around the so called third World? Find out how many muslim men have sexual intercourse with other men, and how bad AIDS is in the muslim world. But of course you won't be able to access this info because they will deny a muslim man can do such a thing! You need Jesus. Once you meet Him face to face your life will change. Your heart will be different. You will see life from a different perspective. Is not "Christianity" what's wrong, it's those so called Christians who are wrong. I am a Christian, and I can tell you that my life is different since I met Jesus. I was an atheist before and I was about to kill myself several times. Only Jesus can give you real life. Try that first. Don't try religion, that's not what I'm talking about. Try a personal relationship with Him. Spend time with him. Let Him love you. Love Him back. Obey Him day in and day out.

Why assume that western Cultutre is Christian? Or that Western way of existence is in keeping with Christian values. faith is a existence form. Christain and Muslism the two make errors. everybody isn't suitable regardless of faith. substitute into the guy who has the values which you fairly decide to work out in society. look on the claims of each faith and choose for yoursleves. while you're incorrect there are severe outcomes
