Mom: A muslim friend of mine wants to get baptized. She seeked me and your father for an advice. He told her that from a Christian point of view, if you want to follow Jesus, you don’t care about anything else, but then again, his personal advice for her is to think carefully so that she won’t lose all what she cares for in life.
Observer: shekelha enjannat! (she must have gone insane!). A sane person wouldn’t leave a religion for another one!
Mom: NO! She is very sane! Jesus has been appearing to her for a while!
Observer: hai akeed enjannat ezan! (She most definitaly lost her mind then!).
Hallucintaions anyone??

Observer, this is not insanity and it is not a rare occurance. It happens fairly regularly; in every denomination here in Jordan there are small groups of people like her. Jesus appears in a dream or vision often, usually in brilliant robes. Sometimes holding out his hands, sometimes saying “Follow Me”. Sometimes people pursue it, sometimes not.Your father spoke well and wisely. I will pray for her.

Yes, I agree with you… If someone has the courage to question the reality of his religion, they would not change their religion with something that is equally guilty of not making sense.But as the story above describes, that friend was not in pursuit of a truth, he was in pursuit of a dream… As we all know, religions are not created based on nothing. They were created by humans to serve a specific need among certain people. Now different religions address a different ranges of needs.Maybe that friend knows about Christianity, and that image appeals to him more than his current religion. This is understandable.If we are to remember the alcohol analogy, some people prefer whiskey, others vodka, others beer. Everyone choses the halusagen that fits them.

One advantage of Christianity is that it is easier to leave than Islam.

fadi, who said that a person who leaves his religion to another is insane???i believe a person is free to choose the religion he believes in.eventually god will judge that person if he has done the right or wrong thing.meaning that u can’t say wether that person is sane or insane..
