Should religious people be aplogetic for being religious?

Everyone has the right to speak on matters of moral issues, but they only have the right to control their OWN actions. Maybe you have no shame for being a christian, but you should be ashamed of your judgmental tendencies. Who are you to judge whether someone is actually amoral? You're going against the bible: judge not lest ye be judged.

"... those atheists, homosexuals, and homosexual and amoral likers are often very intelligent and it takes a strong mind to overcome them." Jesus tap-dancing Christ. You make it sound like we're the devil incarnate! Oh, wait... (I thought it was wrong to gamble because the money would be better spent on the God channel, or in paying for the Pope's gold-and-sh*te encrusted keks. Am I wrong? )

I will address both of you. Do you think it is all right to cheat on your spouse and have s*xual relationships with someone you are not married to? Do you think it is all right for someone to go into a store and pick something up and walk out without paying for it? Do you think it is all right for someone to s*xually abuse children? I hope not. That is all ammoral as is as having as many partners as possible and not caring if you or one of them is infected with a disease and then saying 'Oh it is not my fault." I can understand a teenager who does And some of the homosexuals use threats to get their own way. For instance, these homosexuals (not the lesbians so much as women do not make as much money as men) will threaten politicians with withdrawing their support is they make a law that they do not agree with. Now if one of you is a homosexual and does not have s*x with someone of his own gender and is fighting his desires, good for you. But judgment means righteous judgment. I But apparently you just Christians to keep their mouth shut and not say a word when you do what you want. If you live a decent life, you have no sense to worry, but what if you do not? What if you decide well I have a right to that stuff and a policeman arrests you? and what if by some strange coincidence, you see someone who was a Christian and did not warn you, I just hope you do not go and tell that person "Why did you not warn me?"

May be you misunderstood my post. I said what we believe to be in harmony with ourselves and not to cause any danger or harm to any1 else. Thankfully , my faith teaches me to be a better human. My faith teaches me that adultery is wrong, that murder is wrong no matter what, to love another human being even if its your enemy. All I'm trying to say is, its making me a better human, so why should I not be proud of it. As I say this, I also say that independent thought is a Human's right, so there is violence, hatred and killing in one's faith, its up to that person to decide what exactly is humanity. Being in peace with others while having a faith making you a better human- I don't see anything wrong in it.

Whilst I appreciate the sentiment expressed in your post, I have to call you out on one thing: "... believing in what we think is right is never gonna hurt others." Really? What if you're a sh*t-eating Nazi f*ck who believes that the Jewish race is inferior and thus deserving of extermination? What if you're an obnoxious and arrogant X-tian who believes that it's a sin to be gay? What if you're a sick and twisted c*nt of a Muslim who takes the Big Mo Fo's word to kill all non-believers literally? Is it okay to believe if you don't subsequently act on your beliefs? Doesn't that condemn you as surely as if you'd not even bothered to pretend?
