who would wanna convert to a religion filled only with hate?

Answer 1

You Tell'm. You Tell'm.
As a Person of Experience.
You Tell'm.

Answer 2

First of all, you should first learn about the religion your father is following before criticizing it. Islam came at a time when the world knew nothing but hate. And when it called for brotherhood and the equality of all people it was met with nothing but hate and criticism, much like now.
Secondly, Islam in Arabic comes from the word peace and definitely not hate.
I hope that you read more about Islam and maybe someday you'll be proud that your father is Muslim.

Answer 3

i am so sorry that you feel that way about your father's faith. i felt the same way about my parents christianity when i was a teenager. now that i've converted reform jewish, i see that it is the values that they taught me that encouraged me to explore my own path. i know that they considered their values to be christian, so it gave me some peace that not all christians were hateful and close minded, it's just the ones that are are really loud!
for me, it was the whole "jesus" thing that made me think christianity was stupid, and the fact that you could just say sorry instead of taking responsibility for your actions. if you don't have issues with the basic beliefs in the muslim faith, perhaps you just need to find a muslim community that is more open minded? there are also reform congregations in the muslim faith, and they are mostly concerned with community and peace.

so to your question, people are converting because they are exposed to people in the muslim culture whose practice is not about hate. i found orthodox judaism to be confining and closeminded, full of the same things i hated in christianity but the first time i walked into a reform temple, it felt like home.

you will find what you need to be happy. no one here should be telling you what that is. it's gonna be okay.

Answer 4

It's not the religion that is hate-filled, it is the people in the religion that are full of hate. I have noticed that the slightest offense and they go mad. Be it a comment, a remark to correcting a structural problem near a holy site and they go nuts!
Christians however turn the other cheek, they expect it because Jesus spoke of it on many occasions. That they will be hated for their faith.
There are Christians that kill in the name of God, such as killing abortion providers, homosexuals, etc. That is not Christ-like behavior.
Do not "sort of" be a Muslim, either be it completely or drop-out of it completely.
Look at other religions, like Christianity or Budhism.

Answer 5

by doing that you will be making a humongo mistake. Research your own religion before going off, spreading false information. Islam is NOT hate at all!. Islam means PEACE.

You've apparently been watching way too much news. It's all media propaganda!

Peace. May God guide you to the straight path.

Answer 6

Hate is not of God. Neither is anger, strife, sarcasm or mockery.

The unfortunate thing is that you have several people that exhibit those negative qualities trying to represent religions. Christian, muslim, etc.

Nobody will respond to anger or hatred where religion is discussed, and if they do, it will be negative response.

Jesus never said to shove His message down anyone's throat. His message is of love, forgiveness and BEING a loving person. If one tries to bring someone to Jesus by being angry, or sarcastic, or with threats, how will that work? You save that kind of witnessing for those close to you, that know you well enough to know that you speak out of love, and are trying to instill the fear of God into them.

For people that you do not know, you must spread the GOOD news of the love of Jesus, and His free gift of salvation that He gave to us by taking the price of our sins to the cross and dying for us. If we then respond to their ridicule and mockery with humility and love, as Jesus told us to, then they may say: 'Wow, I just called this guy an ******* and He simply told me that he loved me, and would pray for me. What kind of doctrine does he believe in?' They may begin to think that maybe there IS something to this man called Jesus. Something different. Something good. Something life-changing. But respond to them with anger, and threats or sarcasm, and they WILL say: 'I'm not listening to this guy! He's no different than I am, or that last guy I argued with.'

Paul tells us in the book of 1 Timothy that ' the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves.....' . Also that these people are ' Ever learning,and never able to come to the knowledge of truth.'

Be patient then, and tell them in love and humility of Jesus and salvation through Him. You may actually lead someone to salvation.

Answer 7

Wow. I'm a die-hard christian. God probrably is happy that you don't want to be in a false religion. Just read a bible, and ask God to be with you. Don't wait. No one knows when God is coming back to retrieve the christians. If you are left behind, you could end up in a living hell. You also don't know when you will die. I would immediatly call for God and accept him.

Answer 8

it isnt filled with hate if bothered to study about you're own religion you would see what i mean , and if as you say you're father is a muslim ask him what he's supposed to do if you leave islam.

Answer 9
