I like to share my beliefs of God,but I don't expect people to accept it.I just like telling people about him.Most people don't want to hear and some do.I have no problem people not accepting my beliefs.People have to accept God because they feel they believe on their own and not because of me telling them.The bible speaks for itself,they have to believe for themselves that the bible is true in order to know who God is.How about you ,do you share your beliefs to others?

I'll share them but I won't go out of my way to force them on others. Of course most think I'm real negitive about the whole thing, but then again I felt my parents' beliefs were forced upon me. I was raised as a cathloic, but that doesn't mean I believe in everything they do. My parents on the other hand, some thought they were insaine.

I usually don't. My religious beliefs are my own and personal to me. I also don't like pushing my beliefs on to others. I don't mind if someone shares their thoughts with me on the subject and I will listen, but I usually don't share my beliefs. I believe I am a good person and I live a decent life and I believe that is what is most important.

Hi Java. All you can do is plant a seed about God. We share our beliefs with anyone that will listen. But like you many people don't want to hear the truth about the bible. We read the King James Bible. Our preacher is on the net and we listen to him daily. And he teaches the bible word for word. Chapter by chapter and verse by verse. http://www.shepherdschapel.com/index.cfm This is our preacher. If you want to go listen and see. Who knows you might like him. We have been listening to him for over 5 years now and our lives has taken a 360 turn around. The power of the word of the LORD is great to hear.

My beliefs are a non issue in most of my conversation. There may be a lot of times where they may come up. I tend to dance around the subject a lot. If they want to believe differently than I do, that's fine with me. It really does not affect my life. Nor does the beliefs of others should affect the lives of others. I am under the policy that unless than ask, I am not going to really preach about what I believe in anything, no matter what it is.

i'm neo-pagan. i don't openly tell others my beliefs because i couldn't really care less what they believe. as long as they've found their path, that's fine with me. however, if someone brings the subject up, or tries to destroy my belief foundation, i will attack like an angry rabid dog.
i will never force my beliefs on another person, and yet i know of a lot of people who will openly and willingly try to hurt mine and that's not cool with me.

I do share my beliefs with others sometimes, but I do not argue over the topics, as I always think different people have different opinions, thoughts and beliefs, it's not necessary to ask others to follow mine. I do like to discuss with others, understand why they have such beliefs and so forth. It's interesting to know more about what others' beliefs, and I always think there are sure things to learn in each religion.

I keep mine to myself really. I choose not to speak about it, because I am not sure what I believe in. I explore the different belief systems and try to learn something from them all.

There are 2 subjects I keep to myself. One is religion. THe other is politics. I find that while many are willing to share their opinions with you, they don't really want you to share theirs with them.

I believe that we should all preach what we believe. No matter what it is that you stand for or that is important to you, you should be happy to talk about it and share your thoughts with other people. They only time it can get bad is when you let a discussion turn into an argument.
I enjoy sitting around with my hometown friends and talking about our beliefs and ideas because if you sit down with pretty much anybody and have a serious conversation you will learn that we are all spiritual beings with conscious minds. Don't be afraid to express your thoughts to others. A lot of people in this world choose not to think for themselves and if they see someone else do it maybe it will give them some motivation. LOL

I do share my beliefs; but do it in a way of telling stories of how God has touched my life. I think that by giving examples it shows others that they can look for the miracles in thier lives and understand that maybe someone else had a hand in it.

Yes, I do, but like you, I don't force anyone to believe what I believe in, although I am guilty of expressing my opinion passionately, sometimes making people think that I'm mad or something. It's hard to find someone who would listen to me talk about my beliefs. I mean, even my boyfriend gets tired of listening to me.

java09,
To share our beliefs of god to other people, in olden days
they are happily willing to hear the beliefs of god, but
as on today's date most people are not ready to here it, because
due to pressure of economical crises, work pressure,illness, depresses
over all health problems which is make them very much irritating
their day to day life, hence they don't have the patience to hear,
as well they don't like to hear at all, because of other types
of entertainment which is giving more happiness for them, but
it is not at reliable. I won't share beliefs of god with
others.

Sometimes i share my belief to others. I have an atheist friend. I really want him to believe that God really exists. But its kinda hard thing to do that, but i won't give up. I don't want if he go to hell because he never believe in God. I always feel sad if i think about him, I always pray to my God to open his heart and mind and show him, His existence. I really want him to convert to my religion. But i'm glad that he sometimes wants to listen everything i say about my beliefs of God. I hope one day, he will believe in God before everything is too late.
