Do you want to discuss about religion?

I usually don’t even consider responding to a discussion about religion, politics, or gay rights. The few discussions about these topics that I have gotten involved in have only resulted in arguments. In one case, I responded to a discussion about gay marriage, and apparently I made this person mad, because within a couple of days, my star rating went from nine (9) to about SIX (6). Apparently, this woman went to all of my responses and discussions and gave them a negative rating or something, because my star rating has never really recovered. I made my mind up right then and there to never discuss these topics again on MyLot…

You could discuss anything about religion if you have something to say and you know how to say it. Most people would not have greater knowledge about religion. Once, few people start saying something, it would be a hit or miss or whatever people say could be misleading. What could be worse, if a discussion touch on areas that could offend people involved. Hence, it supports the idea of religion becoming a never ending debate. Going back to the idea of never ending debate, it depends on society and culture. In the culture or society where people have many things to occupy them, they would either avoid any kind of such debate or avoid this kind of discussion entirely. This goes back to the idea that you need to know about specifics if you want to be wise. I personally avoid any discussion on religion, unless if I want to bring up something that is very specific. Usually something specific could relate to current events.

Hi red, I have always been interested in religion and spiritiality and like to discuss it with others who have an open mind. I agree with you though that religion is a never ending debate, it just goes on and on. Many people have been indoctrinated since childhood and so can see no further than their particular belief. They have been told that the Bible or the Qu'ran is the inspired word of God and nothing or no one is going to change their minds, but they will each try to convince the other that their way is right. It is pointless to debate such people as they will simply quote their holy book as though that were the end of the matter. Blessings.

Yes. I agree with you. The debate over religious issues, the debate that there is no end. I do not like to debate religious issues. I respect other religions. I live in families of different religions. We never talked about religion. We respect each other and remind each other not to leave worship.

I really do like to be discussing religion. I'm an atheist, and so when it comes down to myself and religious people, no matter what religion they fall under there are some big differences in ideas and concepts. I find religions really interesting, there are so many different kinds, and so many variations on each of those kinds, so getting to the nitty-gritty details I find very interesting. There are also times where they tell me something about their religion, that I'm in a deep disagreement with, and I will start a debate. But, I think it's a part of the atheist way... we like debates... get a group of atheists together, and there's a good chance they'll be having debates on all sorts of topics... it's really quite natural. So, yeah, I always do enjoy a good discussion about religion.

hmm.. yeah, i guess. i hate or no, not necessarily hate it maybe dislike. i dislike talking about religion when i am with a person who has another belief. though it could be healthy when we share and accept each other's difference. but if the person i am talking to would insist his belief then i would get bored. the tendency is that i would not talk be listening.

I will discuss religion with my friends and family. If it comes up, I feel it has a place in a conversation. I only share my views that I believe in just to share my thoughts, however I do not ridicule or argue with someone else's point on religion. I do agree with you as well on it being a never ending debate. This is because each person is equally passionate for what they believe in.

If possible, i would avoid discussions about religions too. That's because believers would always attempt to brain wash non believers into their religions.. haha One thing i noticed is that, the moment i tell them i don't believe in gods, they will start all their theories, explanation, trying to make me believe in it. I feel like they are forcing me, and since i don't believe, they ought to respect me for my own beliefs right? haha

I will make this very brief. I will not talk about Religion or politics. Both cause wars and both are a never ending discussion.

There is a saying that religion and politics should never be discussed in public. I was also taught never to question another's faith, each has their own path to walk and what is right for them may not be right for you. Blessings

I really love to talk about religion. Because I share my opinion and explore my religion to others... I think I don't agree with you. Because when someone did not say anything about his religion the debate will be ended...

Well, first off, I differentiate between religion and theology. The fact that there is so much denominationalism in any belief system (mine is Christian) says, to me, that religion is a reflection of people more than anything else. If we're to discuss sociology then call it such. I will discuss theological belief tho without hesitation...Enjoy!

I don't actually want to discuss further about religion. The most important is I do believe in God and I don't do what I think in the eyes of God is really bad and unlawful.

hi about religion you are right its like with politics but sometimes if one of your friends he is in a wrong way you can advice him, just a friendly advice me too sometimes i don't like to argue about anything but if you have more experience or something new you can share.

I too do not want to discuss much about religion. As you can see all of us will have a different opinion when it comes to topic like that. Each one have different ideas, faith so naturally its a never ending debate. I have my own belief and other have, so often it will end up arguing. I think the important thing is just to respect each others religion and belief.

I dont mind talking about it but not to debate about it.

Like you, I always try to move away from discussing about religion. I believe in the Supreme Being but I'm not really a fan of religion. I often get caught in a lot of religious orders and discussions. I do listen and respect the views and even follow and join their praises and rituals, but I really don't buy into their thing. I'm just too exhausted already about each religion claiming that they are the true religion for salvation and they keep bumping each other to persuade and increase their members. There are religious factions in our country who literally quarrel with each other. They often put up a word war with their respective channel media and preach about the wrongdoings of other religion. While it is quite amusing sometimes (I do admit, I do find it amusing watching their word wars and mocking taunts to each other) still I don't see their whole point to it. That is why I prefer to believe with what I believe and just go with the flow with those religious groups of my friends. Well, I do learn some things from going into the activities of those religious groups too, but I don't think I will be persuaded to join into them. It is like I am using the activities and inspiring stories of their religion to my advantage and improve myself. At least they are helping me out, however, still I am not a member of their religion!

I feel that it is waste of time discussion about the religion. I feel humanity is greater than religion. If all the people of the world observes human values peace in the society will be established.

There are people with different opinions abour religion and beliefs. I personally engage in a conversation abour religion, as long as the people I talk to don't try to impose their beliefs to me. I thnik the most important is to respect what everyone thinks and that can lead to very interesting discussions.

yeah. i agree with you . :) it's a never ending debate. there's no need to discuss about it. the only person who will agree with you is the one who has the same religion with you. haha. so, better not argue about it. because it will just cause havoc. just i think. hihihihih :D let's just respect each other's religion, because even if have different religions, we still serve one God in different ways. :)
