In which situation become a muslim? You mean in normal life? At 16 i tried to understand the Islam and i thought it is the right religion for me. Then i met philosophy and i am much happier with this. So why would it make my life better? Maybe religious people have it easier in the way that they can trust God and they don't have to worry as much yes. They always have someone to talk to and when i believed i didn't feel so lonely. But the religion isn't my truth. Because it tells the only one truth and this doesn't sound right to me. One truth can't exist in my opinion.
But i have to admit when i prayed and fasted etc i just felt amazing and happy. But this is with every religion also with Christianity. I mean i was in a gospel choir and that made me happy too we sang songs about Jesus and so forth. Well yes belief is something big and if you have something to believe in that it is good. But without too
There are a lot women have taken their own lives after they were kidnapped, raped and forced to convert to Islam throughout history.It still happens now.
@ShadyBaby: People can do whatever they want, as long as they leave me alone, but if you don't actually believe in a religion, why would anyone want to convert?... unless you had a gun or knife to your head. >:(
Possibly the only circumstances under which I might---with a gun to my head or a knife to my throat. As for it making my life happier---it wouldn't. I've spent a lifetime getting away from one group's imaginary friend. I've no desire to get tied up with someone else's.
If it was "become a Muslim or get your head cut off", I consider it, but it would certainly NOT make my life any happier. All religions suck, big time!... that one more than most.
