I wish you better accept the "Humanity" as your religion,
forever in the life.
Any existing religions may not fulfill your desire of
peace of mind in the life, I think.
There is something in every body's heart deep inside an urge of kindness which is not utilised in a better manner.

I am a catholic and i have been to other church,but i didnt call it betrayal to your religion. Its respecting others belief. If you go to others church and accepted the invitation to change religion,then thats what you call betrayal. It is just unlikely to see ourselves in the church of other people. But come to think that religion cannot save us from sin. Its your belief and faithfullness in GOD that saves you from sinWelcome to mylot.

I couldn't say what's happening, because I'm not sure what you mean. You say you have never felt anything like this in your life... how do you feel? Are you thinking that Christianity may be right?
Just remember you can't betray a religion; you can only betray God. There is only one God, so if you're sincerely seeking Him, you will find Him.
Have you spoken with your wife about it?

its not like betraying your faith. you can be faithful towards both the forms of the same entity. god is one we all just call it by different names. so dont be bothered. its not a sin if you go to both the church and the mosque.it just goes to show that you are devoted to god no matter what the form.

first of all i would say that you should think of you child's future. Islam allow the men to marry a women from another religion provided that the women is an Injil (the original bible)follower or ahlil kitab. And let me comment a bit for prabhakar respond here...Islam did not allow the follower to pray in church or temple and follow the other religion in the pray. In the first place actually you should bring your wife to convert to your religion. This is how you will show that you are a good leader in her life...i mean in religion matter. As for now, I am sure that you and your wife have the understanding about your both religion which you followed. But what you want your kids to be in future?...As for other Muslim, I believe they always want their kids to be a muslim also. You would never know what they will be if you adopt both religion in their life.
