what do you think about different religions? i hate those religions that push everyone to be in it or they are going to hell.. i have researched alot of religions.. maybe not in detail but i know most of them.. i hate alot of them.. why?? they tell you what to do if it is right or wrong.. everyone thinks there is a heaven or a hell or that people are bad or good.. there is neither.. i have my own religion and way of life.. i believe in the old egyptian gods and goddesses.. i believe in when we die we be reborn or either travel till we find what we are.. what is your thoughts on religion do you like it or hate it? do you hate the ones who force you into the one they are in and tell you if you don't you are going to hell? what is your religion?

I am interested in this. I used to study Wicca and am very into the old Egyptian religion. I find there are many similarities between the so-called "primitive" religions like Egyptian and my native one, Hawaiian. Very much like all the "black" religions according to Christianity, the huna, or our way of Hawaiian religion was near eradicated by the coming of the Christians. So I am sick of hearing just how peaceful they are.

OMG way to go.. yes very much i do give you a number one vote. yes when the christians came over from there land they basically pushed the indian religion away from us.. yes i am indian.. american indian.. we were not aloud to talk in our language, do our rituals, or even think about worshiping our gods. they basically tried to mold us to be like them.. but needless to say some are trying to get back into our old ways, but still where is our land.. they took everything and gave us nothing so to say.. we tried to take care of the mother earth.. putting back what she needed and only taken what we would use..

I have to agree with you, I hate religions that doorknock and try to FORCE people to conform to their beliefs and ways. I am a Catholic, and would never try to force my religious views onto other people...its wrong!!! They should let people make up their own mind, and quit harrassing them!!!

yes the concept of religion which was formed ages ago to keep peace among peple are becoming an issure for the fight among people, i feel everyone has right to belive his religion and what ever the religion might force him to do, he should act accordingly to the betterment of human beings, whats your opinion

There are so many religions in the world and as God gives us wisdom and free will, we may choose to follow whatever we want. For myself, I have chosen the Christian religion. I am a Christian and I believe in God and the Holy Bible as the Word of God which is the truth. The doctrines or teachings of the Christian religion are laid out in the Holy Bible and that's what I follow. I am a servant of God, a soldier of Christ, and I preach the Word of God. God never commanded Christians to compel anybody to believe in Him or the Holy Bible as His Word. God commands Christians to preach the Word and as I am a Christian, I preach the Word, no forcing whatsoever.

Religion really is a sensitive topic of discussion. There are lots of people like that as you said. it is just a matter of respect to our beliefs. =)

this is a very sensitive subject, religion and politics always are. I am proud to be an American where we have the freedom to choose what ever lifestyle we want, what ever God or Gods we choose to believe in or not. America was founded upon religious freedom let freedom ring!!!!! but I think that if any person tells you, you are going to hell, should follow the words they say they do and practice this Do not judge least you be judged. He without sin my cast the first stone. no one knows the heart and mind but the one who created it. a human only assumes and many times the assumption is wrong. if we as humans learn to accept and respect anothers life choice and try to live in peace it would be a better world.
