Hi,
In a recent thread, I mentioned that I was thinking of giving Islam a go.

www.abovetopsecret.com...

Thanks for all the tips! However I tried Islam for a couple of weeks and the thing is, it didnt really work out very well. I am now considering swapping Islam for Judaism to give that one a try. I figure I need to at least allow a couple of weeks to give it a fair chance.
Islam and I had a few disagreements, mainly about my fornicating alcoholic lifestyle.
Anyone else have any experience of conversion from Islam to Judaism? Any tips or tricks that would help the transition would be much appreciated.

That's like saying, "I'm bored with fries so I'm gonna buy a bag of lays", why tie yourself to the "teachings" of an unproven, backwards storybook?

You cant become a Jew afaik, you have to be born one, same as Hinduism. But i find it funny when you say you tried islam for a few weeks, that made me chuckle.

You need to find your own spiritual path dude.
You're obviously starved of spiritual stimulation.
I don't think you will find what you are looking for
in religion. Seek out knowledge and wisdom in life,
Learn lessons and love.

Why don't you just try being human...

I don't see why people need a Religion to function in life.

Is it the feeling of belonging to a community of people who share similar beliefs?

Christians annoy me because they portray themselves as helping and loving, but at the end of it all they are helping people because they believe that they are going to heaven for it... A human being would help someone just because they are human.

You don't have to have faith to feel you belong! You are part of the 7 billion strong!

How could Islam not work out? You can rape and beat women, and kill anyone who doesn't convert to your religion. And you get 72 virgins when you die. Maybe you just need to try harder.

Religion + People = War

Subtract religion from War...and your left with People.

Engaging behaviors (rituals, etc) in order to try and induce the opening of the Door so as to dwell with the Presence is opposite and will not work. Instead, once the Door is opened and you are in the presence, your behaviors will modify.

Tried religion. It didn't work. Thinking of trying basic common sense, reason and logic while fully admitting that science doesn't, at this time, have all the answers but also understanding that doesn't mean some jewish zombie carpenter or other absurd notion makes any real sense to someone with half a brain.

I guess that is a fair question. Religion is big business. I believe this generation of religion has openly showed us what they are all about. Greed. Even if I was a big fan of religion, I don't think I could call my self a worshiper of something. Let go man, free your mind. Why bind yourself to the rules of some dead dudes who don't mean #. Follow your moral compass and enjoy life without having the wool over your eyes. Believe in today and that it is what you make of it. Facing east and bowing down or going to church on Sunday isn't gonna do a damn thing...except maybe cost yourself a little money.

You really should try some of the holidays.There are a few coming up that are very representative of the other yearly calendar markings. Some are so fun.

Same stuff OP, both religions derive from the Amarna heresy events and the subsequent events at Peor where the evil sodomic priesthood expressed their hatred for the female, and split from her.

Islam is of Ishmael, son of Abraham. Isaac is the other son, he founded Judaism through Joseph (Yuya) and through Thutmosis IV and Amenhotep III and then the Amarna Kings, Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), Smenkare, and Tutankaten (King Tut).

So Isaac's dad, was actually the Pharaoh. The talmud records how people laughed at Abe saying the kid was his son, didn't look anything like him. Also, ask yourself "What birthright did Isaac have?" What is this amazing birthright that Jacob and Esau struggled for, and which Rebecca deceived her husband for, in order to gain that birthright? Why is it okay, biblically speaking, for a woman to deceive her husband and side with her favored son? Shades of greek myths? (Ouranes > Cronus > Zeus) oh you tricky mothers who thereby spawn whole religions! I heard Aisha basically wrote much of the Koran as well? The truth will eventually come out.

Well anyway, after Amarna, there is no Egypt, only a rotting husk. The Amarna events are the origin of Hebrew script. Previously the Levite language was hidden, but akhenaten busted it wide open, he is Moses.

Now when you go back and read your bible, you should do so with Julius Wellhausen's book in the other hand. And note all the points he makes, about the "restored" temple (Babylonian temple) of 570bc. Note that Jerusalem and Babylon had long history of Judaism in both places, and a nice silk trade between the two cities.

So when Jesus shows up and rides in on a donkey, he is making fun of the merchants, whose items all come on the backs of donkeys, from Babylon (silk road). He is also making an allusion to Balaam of the bible, the most powerful magic user of ancient pre-Deuteronomist times. As Wellhausen points out "The Dueteronomists saw all of the era of Kings and the Octateuch, as heretical" and he is correct. Jesus is mocking these religio-lawyers when he rides in as King, on a donkey, like some piece of merchant's goods. It's a great biblical "face" and it enraged them. Then when he busts up "Silk and Sacrifices r' Us" which had been operating from inside the temple, well, it was designed to get them to react.

Haha, stupid morons got upset as Jesus' words and what'd they do? They hired a general, Bar Kochkba, to lead them into Masada where they all got slaughtered! Whoooooops! You'd think these fools would have recognized a savior when he was right there in front of them but they loved their silk, so he let them have their silk, and it was soaked in blood soon after. Buncha dummies couldn't detatch from their love of silk and gold.

Merchant-disease is what they had, and they have it today as well. Notice that Yale U. is utterly talmudized, and this is where "the tomb" of the modern bone-heads is located. Ezra Stiles was a big talmudist, and talmud has been sharpened into an equity-hacksaw and legal-trick which is used for worship, again, of gold and silk. So when Jesus return again, these events will play out much as before. People will love money and will pour their own blood and their wive's blood and their children's blood, all over their money piles, and they will pray to Mammon "Oh God of material wealth! Here is the blood of my family! Please let me retain my gold!" ...And as before, they will lose their families, their gold, and also, their lives.

Anyway, good luck finding truth in the mosques or temple or churches. What you really should do is pry open that lock to the basement and reveal the satanic altar underneath the main worship hall. You know it's down there, don't let them distract you. Dig into all the basements of the religious houses of Earth and you may be amazed at what horrible truths come to light. Don't be afraid.

Try my religion.

I'm looking for followers.

Send me some money every week, I'll send you a picture of me and you can pray to it and perform rites in front of it.

I'm still working on the final draft of my holy book of rules, basically it explains everything you need to know about your existence, what happens when you die, what you can and can't do, how to curry favor with me, your God, and all that. As there aren't any other members yet I can customize the book to you personally, just send me all your details including financial, account numbers, passwords etc and I'll get started right away.

I'm a bit busy as far as being a deity goes, so if your prayers go unanswered don't worry its just coz I'm off somewhere working on my master plan, and basically everything that happens in your life is my will anyway so it'll all pan out in the end.......have some faith will ya!!

If this takes off I'm planing to have a nice merchandise line up and running with lots of nice statues of me for you to kneel in front of etc. I'm trying to come up with something very simple and universal, some kind've symbol that people can wear around their necks or get tattoo'd on their backs........any ideas will be welcomed.

Hi, as you know Islam has a lot of different sects.

How about you follow the Islam of prophet muhammed and his family, you know his family, the imams whom the power was hijacked from as soon as the prophet died. his family, of whom most were killed along with their children. His family who were oppressed and suppressed by the fake caliphates. Islam was not to be spread by the sword until the prophet died and the caliphate was hijacked. they then spread the wrong islam and modified whatever they wished, but the true religion didnt die, the household of the prophet sacrificed themselves for the religion to live, and today its alive. the final imam will redeem it.

look into shia islam.

a lot of people miss the truth about islam and the story of islam...

WTF a few weeks.

Wow what a spiritual flip flopper. You're never going to get anywhere except to the end of your life only to look back and see what you've wasted.

Get real, stick to something for a realistic length of time. You know that to become a Jew you'll have to take classes, you'll be refused up to 3 times by the Rabbi and after that you'll have years of work to convert. Seriously like, a few weeks really?
