One asks "Have you heard of the Mother God?" And I say "No", thinking to myself "Oh great someone coming to 'convert' me." She ended up saying a bunch of other things that I don't remember now, but I said frankly to her "I'm Muslim". I think she was sort of taken aback because I "looked" much like her and I wasn't in the hijabi dress. She kept on trying to get me to go to a Bible study with her so I could learn more about "Mother God", and I told her that I already read the Bible and used to be Christian for a long time, but after reading Qur'an I decided to convert. I told her that I considered Qur'an to be the direct words of God, that it is my religious book, and the Bible wasn't. She gave me a cold look, changed her tone of voice and said "No, the Bible IS the direct word of God". I thought that the conversation would turn into an argument, but we parted before that could happen (thank God). <BR/><BR/>What left me shaking from all of it is that I still conceal the fact that I am Muslim to the world, my friends, and my parents that I reverted, so it made me feel vulnerable in a primitive sense. At the same time it felt good to be open about it, and I felt proud saying that I was Muslim. When I was walking the last stretch to my apartment I was shaking, but I was also thinking to myself "Why did that girl not think that God is One?", and I was glad that I am pointed in the right direction of a journey. <BR/><BR/>Peace, <BR/>KayKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03581239802465082086noreply@blogger.com
