[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]

OP here. You don't seem to understand that it is possible to respect someone's belief system without believing in it yourself. If my husband best understand's God's message in the way Catholics believe, then that is his right as a human being and as God's creature to continue to believe it. I do not become a "bad" Muslim because I give him that respect given to him as a "person of the book".

That's the tricky part about faith isn't it? Everyone has faith that their belief is the most sensible and true. If it was an established fact this whole shebang that is the universe wouldn't exist.
