can it that different belief relationship leads you to convert ?

Question

Can it be that a different belief relationship leads you to convert to other person's point of view even if you had broke up with the person and not with the person years after the relationship ...u become then convinced of what the other person was telling you and then you convert willingly ? how do you feel when that happen ..? would you then feel a kind of regret that u didn't understand before ...? or a shame that what you have rejected in the past , you now have accepted it ....? have someone been there ?

Answer 1

Usually the ones that I have seen convert to another faith never really had faith to begin with.

Answer 2

It is possible for other people... insecure people, generally. People who aren't in control of their own emotions, and probably lacking in rational thinking capability.

It is not possible for the likes of me. I have realised that all belief demanding some kind of physical truth is inherantly flawed and unreliable.... and since that accounts for pretty much every religion out there, the odds of my actually converting to any are essentially nil.

I have no shame nor regret. Such things are detriments to my psychological wellbeing.


A person should believe what makes sense... what is reasonable and most attuned to the nature of things.... NOT what feels right at the time.

Answer 3

Freedom of Choice

[33:72] We have offered the responsibility (freedom of choice) to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they refused to bear it, and were afraid of it. But the human being accepted it; he was transgressing, ignorant.

[33:73] For GOD will inevitably punish the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women, and the idol worshipping men and the idol worshipping women. GOD redeems the believing men and the believing women. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

Do Not Follow Your Parents' Religion Blindly

[5:104] When they are told, "Come to what GOD has revealed, and to the messenger," they say, "What we found our parents doing is sufficient for us." What if their parents knew nothing, and were not guided?

[5:105] O you who believe, you should worry only about your own necks. If the others go astray, they cannot hurt you, as long as you are guided. To GOD is your ultimate destiny, all of you, then He will inform you of everything you had done.

No Compulsion in Religion

[2:256] There shall be no compulsion in religion: the right way is now distinct from the wrong way. Anyone who denounces the devil and believes in GOD has grasped the strongest bond; one that never breaks. GOD is Hearer, Omniscient

[2:257] GOD is Lord of those who believe; He leads them out of darkness into the light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are their idols; they lead them out of the light into darkness - these will be the dwellers of Hell; they abide in it forever.
