I am a Christian, but I've been considering a conversation to Islam. My own faith has become boring and unfulfilling, and it doesn't give me a sense of hope like it used to.
I'm still hesitant to become a Muslim of the possible reaction of my family and friends. Any words of encouragement or further reasons to become Muslim would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Do you live near a mosque or know any muslims? Is your family religious?

There's a mosque in my town. My family is mostly Catholic and would react negatively if I told them my intentions.

Well you should keep it secret for now, try to visit the mosque if you can and tell them you're interested in converting. If you have any questions you can also ask them here.

Negatively how? Unless your life is in danger, you should go to the mosque and declare your intentions as soon as possible.

I don't understand your motivation. do you think religion is like a video game or adventure hobby?

you gotta explain your mental process more

Some Christian you are. Maybe you should just own up to the fact you're an atheist instead of continuing to play at religion. Or better yet get some actual faith in God

The state of Catholicism in America (and probably everywhere else) is pretty bad. I don't think he can be blamed for not finding it appealing.
If OP is still around, perhaps he could tell us about some specific things he is concerned about, whether it be spiritual practice, a political perspective, or even a point of fiqh, and we could help him find some information.
Someone who is reaching out shouldn't be turned away just because he doesn't already know exactly what he's doing.

even if you convert the feelings of being unfulfilled and bored will only go away for a short time and then ur stuck with Islam and the consequences of conversion. If i were you wait until you actually convinced that Islam is the truth.
t. my father is a convert i have had this conversation with him before and with converts at my mosque.

what if that never happens, isnt it better to fake it till you make it cause the culture and practices are fun, the praying and socialization, so is learning a new language and getting new clothes, imo this can lead to undestanding

The Pope (assuming he's not protestant) is nothing more than a political tool, something which is supposed to be below religion.

In the name of Allah
Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever ignores the verses of Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account.
i always understood this verse to mean, everybody is considered a muslim already. some are just a bit more lost then others. christianity is not separate from islam. you r not out of islam you dont need to join. just be true to god. hope he guides you and helps you on the way

sorry for my bad english i guess but i re read my post and i have to correct. by you dont need to join i didnt mean quran considers christianity to be an accepted religion. what i meant was islam is not a group of people. nothing is required to join in. islam is just being honest to god.
also by
>everybody is considered a muslim already
i didnt mean everybody is going to be accepted to heaven. i tried to say no one is actually totally outside islam.

> christianity is not an accepted religion.
i mean not accepted to heaven. at least not under the name of christianity.
as said in verse
> those who were given the scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves
so nobody differed from gods word. they just fought over dominance over oneanother. and that caused them to deviate from gods path.
im sorry for too much pasta. should double double check before i post.
