JesterRaiinSinéad O'Connor just died. It's worth reminding that her life was destroyed after she made the bold move and criticized the church and pope John Paul regarding the problem of child molestation.
Flying SquidVery true, but she was also a religious nut. I’m glad she did what she did, even though almost no one understood the protest at the time, but she was her own brand of crazy Catholic.
SnowboardBumPretty sure she converted to Islam in the last decade.
I’m doing some reading on that now. She apparently said she was always a Muslim which… I have no idea how that works.
ID:107Yea, she converted to islam and then called all non-muslims disgusting or something along those lines. She then claimed she said that to get kicked off from twitter.
Why you’d go from Catholic to Islam is a mystery but each to their own. She was however far from a shining example of mental stability.
Why you’d go from Catholic to Islam is a mystery
Many reasons.
- you meet “that special person” who convinces you that it’s logical thing to do
- "Jerusalem Syndrome" variation
- you begin to study relevant scripture without learning about its practical application by the real followers
- just to infuriate your former "co-believers"
- because it’s the only way to open certain possibilities, otherwise forbidden to you
EhListShe had a brief sint as a Catholic Priest in a heretical denomination
God did it, of course.
Many converts that convert into Islam use this language. You return or revert to Islam as in you always were Muslim and just didn’t know enough of the truth. Not sure if her language indicates this or actually always having been Muslim but based on her earlier statements I would guess it is the former.
