She met lots of Muslims, and she decided she liked it.

Many Christian denominations now are wishy washy. They value PC culture above all else and so they fear appearing "judgy". They steadfastly avoid claiming that Christianity is the path to heavenly rewards, that would imply that they think other faiths are somehow lesser. Can't have that. And we can't ask the flock to work hard at faith either, they want it to be accessible, they suppose.

Most people look at all that and think "what's the point? If they are the same as everything else and offer no particular truth that I can't get elsewhere, why bother with them?" They don't convert, they just sort of drift away from their faith. But some people reject that outright. They want a faih that says "we have the truth and everyone else is going to hell. Join us and you will live eternally in heaven, reject us and suffer forever." Sounds harsh but people want to be connected to eternal truths and being told that there is ONE path and all others are false does that.

For those people, Islam is waiting. They are never wishy washy about telling all that their belief system is right and the ONLY way to eternal bliss. I imagine she was one of those people.

I think it has less to do with wishy-washy Christian denominations and more likely has to do with an Islamic man who turned her around.

Pretty much. That’s why I say the Antichrist can’t be too far off in the future.

Just saw one liberal kook this week claiming God was working through Barack. Yeah, maybe He allowed him to rise like Pharaoh. Good heavens. Spirit of antichrist.
