I have a question for all of you Christians out there. What would it take for you to throw the Bible in the garbage, burn it and start following the Muslim faith?

What would you have to see?

What would you have to experience?

Let me know...

This whole post assumes that belief is a rational/logical process, as if I could change my faith if only I was shown the imperical data. PAAAHH!
Most folks come by their belief through faith, not something easily minipulated by argument.
Only folks who have lost faith in Christianity would be ripe for conversion to Islam. Even then, I suspect that other forms of religion would be more acceptable to the Western sensabilities than Islam. It kinda has a bad rep right now.
Of course, should Islam choose to enter into the 21st century and reform a bit(respect for women,human rights and get off the Jihad for world domination), there might just be a better chance to convert some of the folks searching.

If your 20 and a Liberal, you can be forgiven for not yet thinking; If your 40 and a Liberal, you can't be forgiven for failing to ever think.
