Islam is demonic. Not sure why you want to engage in rituals either Christian or muslim. I'm a Christian and the only ritual I have is communion. A sip of wine and a bit of bread. I was baptized as an adult years ago so I don't do that again. Everything else is by my choice. Are you born again as in have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit?

@riseofthemachine I am not trying to fight with you at all. I am just curious. You mention ritual and in my Anabaptist tradition we don't have a lot of ritual. I have gone to catholic churches and they have a lot of ritual. The same with orthodox. I call them liturgical churches and for those who find fulfilment in such ritual I have no problem at all. My only question is since you are contemplating leaving the catholic church why not check out a nearby baptist church or other evangelical church in your area? Just curious and not wanting to come across as being critical of you at all. I want to support you in your Christian walk.
