do you respect people of diffrent beliefs?

I will answer your questions one by one: 1) how can you have respect for someone that you believe is going to hell? Very easily, respect is a give and take with me. If the person respects me, then I respect them. Regardless of their or my own beliefs. I don't believe anyone is going to Hell. Why? Because it is not my place to judge them nor condemn them. That is God's job. Not mine, yours or anyone else's. 2) how can you have respect for someone that believes that your going to hell? Again, not my place to judge them. As long as they do not violate my rights and try to shove their beliefs down my throat, I honestly don't care what they think. I respect their beliefs and/or opinions because they are their own. No one can take that away from them. And I also know that in the end, the only one that can judge me or condemn me is God himself. So their opinion or belief I am going to Hell is not really important now is it? 3) how can you have respect for someone that does not know "the true" god? Here the issue is what you deem to be the "true God" Many different religions have a different opinion of who or what God is. Am I right, are you right, are they right? Who really truly knows. If you believe that you know the "true God" and have taken him into your heart, than what does it really matter what I or anyone else thinks. You need only worry about yourself and your own beliefs. Everyone else can take care of themselves. 4) how can you have respect for someone that does not believe/rejects god? Again that is their problem, not mine. I can have respect for someone and have a very good relationship/friendship with someone and the subject of religion never even come into conversation. If a friend of mine chooses not to believe in God, why on Earth would I lose respect for them? That is their own belief, as I have mine. they may think I am a fruitloop for what I believe. But at the end of the day, we can still love and respect one another. To sum it all up, if you do believe in God, and you do believe in Hell, then why does it matter what anyone else believes. Since you believe, you know that these people will go to Hell eventually, so what's the big deal. That is between them and God. He is the judge and jury. Only he can condemn or grant salvation. It wouls be quite egotistical to think that we as humans have any right to judge or condemn anyone. That my friend is a divine right only granted to God himself.

I respect anyones beliefs regardless whether or not they match my own. I don't try to analyze their reasons for believing as they do nor do I try to convert them to my way of thinking. If someone were to think that I was on the path to hell, I would simply shrug and pray that they are wrong. They are entitled to their thoughts as I am.

My respect criteria does not links with any religious belief. I respect people with good behaviour, intelligence, sound knowledge & who knows to respect others. If somebody believes in God, its good for him, if not then it upto him. It never affects my attitude towards them.

I recognize your avatar :-) I'll try to answer your questions one by one. "do you respect people of different beliefs?" I can respect anyone who believes in anything. It's a free world. They can believe what they want and I can believe what I want. 1. how can you have respect for someone that you believe is going to hell? I don't believe in the idea of heaven and hell so I can't answer this question. 2. how can you have respect for someone that believes you're going to hell? People tell me lot of negative things but I dont take it seriously. This happened to me a lot of times. when someone tells me Im going to hell, I just smile. Actually, I have lot of respect for those people. They must have had a lot of courage to judge me. :-) 3. how can you have respect for someone that does not know "the true god?" Nobody really knows who or what is the true God? For Christians their true God is Crist, for Moslems is Allah, and so on and so forth. As I said in the first question I respect anyone who believes in anything. If they say Buddhism is the best religion there is, well good for them. 4. How can you have respect for someone that does not believe/rejects God? I always respected people who are non-theists because I don't believe in God myself. For those who believes in God but rejects it, all I can say is try finding yourself and you'll find who your God is. There it is. I've answered all your question. Now, I just want to ask you something. Can you clarify to me what is your point here? Im sorry but honestly speaking, I didnt understand what you mean here. :-) Thanks!

you said it..that is why i don't respect anyone..that don't respect my rights to believe what i want..if i believe in a heaven or a hell i keep my thoughts to myself...once as a joke ..and not a good joke i told a person.."you are going to hell!" as he did not believe in God..i would not think this would get him so mad..but he flew off the handle and started ranting and raving and telling me I am going to hell too..blah blah blah.. well we are still friends of a kind but i don't bring up such topics as most people are not mature enough to just laugh off a good spoof..we are all in hell now and whether there is a worse place then where we are now is debateable..all i know is i don't argue religion or politics..as people get to emotional and don't argue the facts but let their immature emotions get in the way..and unbelievers seem just as hardheaded as believers..so i just let sleeping dogs lie..this way i will probably live longer..

Yes because in my religion(HINDU) they say that all gods are one

we should respect other beliefs until and and unless its not harmful to anyone but we should oppose superstitious beliefs

I have two points for you. Point 1, i dont respect anyone who has chosen to believe that someone else will be sentenced to eternal pain just because the hold a different belief. How can we judge such things? Point two, Hell is a figment of your imagination, invented by men to control the simple minded blessed be

I do respect other different beliefs and I will always do. I never think that people with other beliefs are going to hell. Why do you think so ? Let me tell you something that may change your point of view. Christian and Islam is related religions. Why, because they believe in Adam & Eve, Abraham and Noah. While Buddhist also consider Mohammad and Jesus as Budhas [Budha actual meaning is a salutation for people who got enlightenment]. All religion came from the same God.

THat could be a problem if I believed : - in hell - that I am right and they're wrong - in imposing my opinions on others - that there is only one true God - in not respecting others - which is against what my God teaches me anyway Other than that I'm sorry but I can't agree with you. And I still respect you and your opinions. - see how easy it is? One can truly believe in something without being narrow minded and not at least admit that there might be other with different views that might be right as well. The idea of hell is very subjective and can mean different things to different people. Moreover who am I to judge and decide who's going to hell or not? How can I know for sure that little red ridding hood is going to hell and I"m not? WHo knows what God has in mind for each person? WHy should I be better than someone else and deserve a reward while others punishment? - actually what do I really know about their lives? They can be better people than I am in many parts of their lives -. In the end, without being so arrogant to think that I know better than the others, I can't fairly judge or even think who goes to hell or not - even if hell in the sense you see it, exists. So meanwhile I respect everyone's opinions, even yours. My God has a good sense of humor and it will be interesting to find what will happen in the end.

Respect of others' beliefs and relegious inclinations is one of the most important foundation in building worldwide harmony and peace. Without this tolerance of others' preferences we could never have a good interrelationship from one nation to another and from one race to another. We should never ever cram our faith to anyone. We must respect freedom. No matter how convinced we are of the righteousness of our faith, it must always be tempered by tolerance. If you want to be respected, if you want to enjoy freedom, if you want to freely exercise your faith, THEN LET OTHERS DO THE SAME!

Well Mr. Fighting is the only way, I think you are making sense here 'cause if you don't believe in something how do you respect it or if people don't believe in what you believed how do they respect you either? To be frank I'm Christian but Muslim and I like your idea on this, thanks.

I do respect everyone.Whether they are of the different beliefs,i respect them.To respect people don't really care about their beliefs.If they were to go to hell,that's their problem.When we respect other people,people will not look down on us and they too form up something good for us.

Who are you to judge who is going to hell, or heaven? Are you a Divine Spirit, or a God in your own Right? It is not for Us to Judge other people. Only God has this Right! Everyone should Love and Respect all People, because we are all created equal. God created Man in his own likeness and Image. so we should give everyone Love and respect. Let God be the Judge!

I don't believe in god, heaven or hell so I really don't care if people believe I'm going there or not. That's their problem, not mine. The only people I don't respect are those that don't respect me, otherwise I really don't care what people believe in. If it gives them comfort, fine. I find comfort in my non-belief.

As for me, whatever a person's belief is, we need to respect them for them to respect us too. As we all know, every individual in this world has different personalities, beliefs, attitudes, etc. We cannot please everybody, so for us to get along with other people, we need to respect them. I myself, have friends whose beliefs are different from mine, especially regarding religious matter, but our friendship remains for years now, because we respect each others beliefs.

I have respect for other religions because first I believe that all religions lead to the same place they are just different paths. I don't believe in Hell, so thats not a problem for me. I am Wiccan and under that religions we believe in a God and Goddess and call them by many different names from many different religions so its hard not to have various religions when believing in that path. Plus the first tenant of my religion is to harm no one. I believe not respecting someone's individual religion would cause them emotional harm. I want them to respect and let me practice my religion so I respect and let them practice theirs even if they believe I am going to Hell.

I think we must respect people other different beliefs so world can make beautifull for all people. best regards
