Religious discussions!!!UFFF!!!

Hello, arthi_88. This is a common thing between people. You should expect this to happen. Since God cannot defend itself, people feel in the duty to come in here and defend him. What is the big deal if I say that your religion sucks (I don't think it sucks, just saying)? Why do you have to defend it? Because you are afraid. Yes, just because you are afraid. You are afraid of me being correct. You will only feel safe if I do agree that your religion is true and that your God is unique. Otherwise, your inner self will be wondering why cannot I see that your religion is true... And this will give you some feeling that will just go directly against your faith. Let me explain better. When somebody shows and argues that your religion is not true, your unconscious will see that the person who is arguing may be correct. And you will feel like if your God was threatened. What if the other person is right? There is only one way to pass through this obstacle: proving. Proving that your God is true, you will feel safe, because then nobody will have a way to doubt. I might be pretty wrong in this. In fact, I believe I am. Perhaps people are just arguing because they need to defend themselves. I studied once something about human minds, that said that, if I attack you verbally straightly, you will defend yourself as a natural reaction. Which means that, if I say that your God is false, you will counter. Perhaps that is what it is happening: natural self defense reactions. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I have nothing against any religion at all so you won't get an argument from me here. I do know that these types of discussions quite often get pretty heated up though. I don't mind a good debate but when it starts getting downright rude then it is out of hand. Discussions on homosexuality or abortion are also famous for bringing out one's intolerance.

I do not mind having a civilised religious discussions where we exchange view point and opinions. What I am disappointed with are over-zealous people who want other people to submit to their beliefs, ideas, and opinions. In the past I did try to respond to several discussions. The reaction was not nice even though I gave only my opinions and did noy criticise anyone. I can play the same game, citing events and statistics which have been kept away from public view, and other references but I did not think it would solve anything. So currrently I am staying away from religious discussions even though they started with innocent sentences, or they have incorrect facts (distorted, twisted, presented not as a whole). all the best, rosdimy

Blah, I'm not so happy with how snippy people are in that interest either. But I can say that I don't do that, at least I don't think I do. I don't have a religion, but I'm not going to tell anyone that God does not exist or that their Gods do not exist. I do make comments about other people's religions, but I don't tell them not to believe it. I ask questions, and I'm not trying to ever insult anyone with them, but people get defensive about it.

Hi arthi_88,you are right there is too much bashing going on and our religion being a very compassionate one is easily targetted.With due respect to all religions,i would like to say that of the three religions that existed since pre-historic times sanatan dharma(hinduism) has still survived with all such bashings,islamic onslaughts on our country since medieval times,silent conversions going in various parts of the country in the name of social service.but being the oldest religion in the world which has enlightened many its not easy to degrade our religion.our religion has stood the tough times with all the might.also am very proud to say that my religion is the only religion which teaches us to respect all other religions.

To be honest, I don't care what religion someone is as long as they aren't going anything bad in the name of their religion like killing people, etc. I'm a witch but some people seem to think that I sacrifice animals and pray to Satin. Far from it really, I love animals and although I believe in the devil, I pray to Greek gods. All religions are different, they all think they are the better ones when really, we are all the same in ways. We all believe in a god that we have special ways of praying to, we have buildings to pray in, we believe the god (or dogs) will keep us and our families safe, we do work in the gods name and loads of other stuff I can't think of right now.
