https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/oct/26/sinead-oconnor-converts-to-islam-shuhada-davitt She made the announcement on Twitter, saying her conversion was “the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian’s journey. All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant.”
so she publicly shames the pope as evil and now she converts to islam. something tells me she's not quite settled in her mind.
To convert to the religion with the least amount of rights for women as a woman is mind blowing. Like sawing your own arm off.
“the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian’s journey. All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant.” I guess that's why I'm not a theologian anymore. Cause Islam, if its the kind that interprets its holy text as literally as evangelicals interpret the bible, just stacks more bullshit on top of hundreds of years of of existing bullshit. I mean, as I recall, traditionally Muslims don't reject the Bible - they view it the same way Mormons do, as a valid stepping stone to the final revelations of their own original scriptures.
How the fuck is the "natural conclusion" of any intelligent theologians journey believing the cave-dwelling fever dreams of an Arab merchant as if they're the literal word of God? Just another charlatan
this is the fundamental weird thing about it all. sinead was once a symbol of fighting for womanhood but now she's given up it seems.
Sadly it's been well-known for a while Sinead is not exactly stable.
Does she realize that by converting to Islam she has to be obedient to her husband? He could, in theory, tell her to de-convert. It's one of the reasons Islamic women are prevented from marrying non-islamic men.
"the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian’s journey." In your case it's more the natural conclusion of a bipolar woman's descent into mental illness and self-harm.
Essentially yes. Except in Mormonism Jesus came to America and cursed the natives to have red skin, in Islam after Jesus died God decided things weren't working out so well with the Israelites and he was going to send a new prophet to different people. Also there's the time difference of about a thousand years.
Well, It depends what type of most all Islamic denominations is acceptable to have men sided with woman. But after since her conversion needs to know what type of that Islamic denomination will be her for rest of lifetime.
Thats great for her! Now media is going to pick on her for awhile!
Yea, Especially Islamophobes ones.
she has been suffering from serious mental health problems this decade
More like 600 years actually.
Actually Islam was started around 600 CE, Mormonism was founded in the 19th century CE, so it's closer to 1200 years.
I misread your post, I thought you said Islam started a thousand years after Christianity.
Islam always seemed like the religion you start out believing because that's how you were raised. It doesn't seem like something a rational person who does want some spirituality in their life would convert to.
That's one hell of a heel turn

Who?
islam is FINISHED
As opposed to every other religion lol. But nah I get what you are saying, it's always fucking weird when someone converts to one of the stricter religions when they are old enough to actually make a choice about it. I had a mate whose mum became a hard-line Jehovahs witness when she in her 40s and he was like 7 years old. Imagine coming home to your kid and being like: "right mate all science is wrong so you will be taken out of science class, you can't talk to non witness kids or I will be angry with you, you don't get any more birthdays and Christmas is cancelled."
I've always felt that people who convert to fundamentalist religions from somewhat secular backgrounds later in life have missed a lot of the lessons and just do it to feel morally superior. "hey look at me I practice the harshest interpretation of the religion we all have so you gotta listen to me." Mike Pence is a poster child for this, he basically found the harshest version of christianity he could and began chastising others for not being as christian as him. There's other examples but that's a pretty obvious one. I went through all the catholic schooling and rituals and I think I try to live up to the message of jesus not just the word of the books.
It's fair to say that anyone who converts to any religion is mentally unstable.
this is tricky what you said here
All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant. Im pretty sure thats not how it works but okay
This is fedora tippingly stupid.

Nah having known a few people who converted from one to another they are usually a bit nuts in my experience.
