I feel like I can comprehend people being born and raised into a culture and religion and not ever leaving it. But I must admit to finding it pretty difficult to understand a person who consciously rejects one form of organised religion in favour of another in anything other than a purely spiritual way. By that I mean, I get religious people who leave Christianity and embrace a mostly non-theistic way of life in Buddhism because they find it spiritually fulfilling. But I don't get trading one mythology for another. Why would you view one as more valid than another? Do you just think: "This Jesus guy, he's just some bit part. However, Muhammad? Well this guy definitely was the real deal. Time to jump ship!" Do you buy wholesale into the entire Islamic story? I have this exact same problem with people who join "recent" religions, when you can clearly pinpoint the date some guy (inevitably) wrote it all up in 1862. So, yeah. I assume you found Islam to fulfil your spiritual demands, and you just have to take the story and the demands it brings with it? So you pray 5x per day, intend to Hajj etc?
