[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People like the OP are hypocrites.

You are Muslim, and have remained a Muslim. At least the remaining part is a conscious choice because you believe this is the right way, the one true way to be with God for eternity.

The same for your husband.

You cannot believe in only one true way, but then think that a different way is also a "beautiful way to know God".

If you fancy yourself a person of faith, it should be backed up with conviction. Otherwise you are just a hollow practitioner of rituals. [/quote]
That's your opinion. It's entirely possible to be a member of one faith but also recognize the legitimacy of the other pathways to God without wanting to appropriate it. [/quote]

I didn't say it wasn't possible. Obviously it's possible since that's exactly what the OP did. The charge is that it is hypocritical.

Saying that you are a Muslim is to say that the teachings of the Koran is true, and therefore Jesus was not the Son of God and there is no original sin. This is at odds with what a Catholic believes. Either one of you is right, or both of you are wrong. Both of you can't be right about this as there is no middle ground. If you claim that you are a Muslim, indicating that you believe Jesus was just another prophet, and that people are not born into original sin, but yet you turn around and acknowledge that Catholicism is another valid way to know God, then that demonstrates you don't actually believe in the fundamental claims of Islam, the very definition of a hypocrite. This is not my opinion. [/quote]

Many people believe others can worship in different ways. That one way is best for OP and another way is best for her husband.

The only ones I know who don't believe that are the fundamentalist sects of the Abrahamic faiths. [/quote]

You are absolutely incorrect, unless you consider Catholicism a fundamentalist sect.  Catholics believe that the *only* way to heaven is through Jesus Christ, who they believe is the Son of God.  If you do not believe that, you are not Catholic, and you are not going to heaven either.  If you are truly a practicing, believing Catholic, then to have your children not believe in Christ would be the ultimate tragedy.  Unless OP feels that being Catholic and Muslim is limited to Eid and Christmas trees this is a problem.  This is why people are all over OP.[/quote]

Catholicism is pretty fundy, but since Vatican II it's acknowledged that Protestants and non-Christians can indeed be saved.

"The non-Christian may not be blamed for his ignorance of Christ and his Church; salvation is open to him also, if he seeks God sincerely and if he follows the commands of his conscience, for through this means the Holy Ghost acts upon all men; this divine action is not confined within the limited boundaries of the visible Church."

Jesus Christ is the only way for Catholics. But not for everyone. No hypocrisy at being OK with your spouse worshiping differently than you.[/quote]

I'm not the "she's a hypocrite" poster.  I'm one of the multiple posters who sees a problem for OP when she and her spouse have children.[/quote]
