Why the need to try to prove what others believe is wrong or the need to put down others because they don't believe what you do?

Golden Rule, Karma, whatever is the basis for most religions. Most religions also preach not to judge

true

cheers to that!! You go girl!!

TY... I think I have posted that in several threads and has been ignored.

because for some reasons some people believe their religion is the religion or some crap.

unfortunately some people believe that there religious beliefs is the only correct way to believe. Whos to say which religious beliefs are right and witch ones are wrong? They don't keep an open mind that we are all allowed to believe or not to believe as we choose. My understanding of God and religion probably isn't the same as everyone else.

i have a firm belief in what i believe in but i wouldn't sit there and judge others

as long as no one is hurt or illegal...why can't people have there own beliefs. unless a religion is based on science and can't be proven everytime...religion is faith

I can't see air but i know it exists.

everyone should believe in something and shouldn't be condemned based on a select few radicals or because it's different

ty for your imput. nice when people can actually answer posts and not push things aside. there is nothing wrong with debate as long as all parties can agree to disagree and walk away after. debates don't need put downs or judgements. arguments do

there is good and bad every where and in everything. there are "holier than thou" in every belief and religion. no one should lump any group into something wrong based on some bad apples.

coming off my soap box for a while

absolutely right!

i follow Kim-ism blindly..im still not sure what its all about but the Founder is cute.

back on soap box for a second

it's not even just about religion. people judge others based on if they are skinny, big, short, tall, whatever. Nothing wrong with having what you like and believe but there is something wrong with putting people down just because it's different

Well to be honest, that's the reason why I don't talk about religon with others. My beliefs, or lack of, is no one's concern but my own. If I wished to be condemned I would have a T-Shirt made up saying to do so.

I'll debate religion with a person until the sun goes down, as long as that's what it stays as is a debate. I've had my share of "this is the way it is" crap shoved down my throat for a lifetime.

i completely agree with you about debate and your choice not to share. i like to share but i can respect those not wanting to.

i know from the christian aspect, the Bible tells us not to shove our beliefs at people or to judge. I know it's the same in other religions as well.

Sadly, that's just the way some are raised to be. Not to mention that society shows that you're supposed to be under a size 12, or you're fat. People idiolize models instead of real individuals. However, it's just plain rude for a person to come up to you and start telling you about you need to go on a diet, or how you're not very pretty because that's just their opinion. Opinions are like a**holes everyone's got one. Sadly, some can really hurt a person. People just need to be more polite to society.

that's another thing i want people to understand. i'm skinny and trust me...it's not any easier. if you ever want to debate...let me know. i can respect others point and have a healthy debate at the same time. i like to debate because i usuallu learn something from the other side...even if it's just an understanding of them

Same to you! I'm always up for a healthy debate.

i am amazed that i posted the topic in several threads and was completely ignored except byone person and i think he just wants to argue

that's a possibility. Some do not know the difference between a debate and arguing
