Why we have to be hatefull to convince!! does it help?

Ive learned to just move over those discussions here on mylot because it doesnt get you anywhere. And you cant stop them no matter how hard you try its not going to stop. Its a forum with so many people from all over the world with different views. And yes hate is such a harsh word. Just enjoy mylot there are alot of great people here and just ignore the nasty ones. Maybe they will go away.LOL

It is sad that this has to happen. I come across that on other blogging and discussion sites, too. It seems to me that people who are like that are just too stubborn to see other opinions, and constantly have to be right. It does sadden me to see the anger on discussions on religion. No matter what your religion, you should act what your religion teaches you, which is mainly what the golden rule is. You should love everyone, and respect everyone's differences, and mainly, treat everyone how you want to be treated. It's a shame that there is so much hate in the world and that many wars have started because of religion.

personally i think ignorance and lack of intelegance is what causes most of that name calling. especially in heated arguments and discussions, when you are caught in a corner with nothing to say, the first thing that comes to your mind is name calling. most of these people are young, and i mean, i'm young myself but i hate name calling, i hardly do anything to be hatful, but point out the obvious for most. i'm not always right, but neither are they. i've been involed with a lot of discussions. a lot about raising children, and the media infulance. it may seem like i'm being 'mean' sometimes, but basiclly i tell people to stop being so picky about every little thing. i've always thought the world was becoming way too sensitive for my tastes. but plain insulting just for the purpose of making someone feel bad is just wrong in my view. it gets you no where with your side of the discussions and makes yourself look like an idiot.

I think lot of times, people respond aggresively because of fear. They're scared of something that's viewed as "different." Fear makes us do and say things we wouldn't normally do, and we also tend to go into defensive mode by attacking others belief systems. I've seen it time and time again, and yet people still do it. It's sad that this is what some of us have been reduced to.

I don't think that simply by being hateful you get to convince anyone of your being right, on the contrary. My opinion is that there are people (immature or otherwise) who, when they run out of arguments, don't know what other means to resort to other than naming names and such. The religious field is particularly prone to that as I don't think anyone could convince another, just like that, that his religion is better than the other's. Hence the lack of arguments and the disrespect and so on. It has always struck me as very sad that people who want to preach love (because religion is more about that than anything else) resort to using hate for that. And they think it works too.

Yes this is comming from very long time. These things has got no end. The reson for this is every one will be taught what there religion does and other does not. they only tell what other religion does bad but which is not. But if you see bible,kuran/bagavat gita you come to know that all these preach same in different style. The interpretation made by leader of that community brings the differance and this will be there for ever. They can not come to a common conclusion of all religion and be peacefull without hatred

That is sad... I have encountered some discussion like that and it made me think of how do they really see the teachings of their God? Its a sad thing that some people are decieve by thier intelligence and forgot how to go slow especially when giving hatred words. Me as much as possible I give my honest and true opinion in every discussion but I alway let myself choose the words I should give. Of course theres always some who will disagree with you and give you words saying that you are stupid or something but fighting with them won't do me any good.

People usually respond angrily from a place of fear. The fear difference of opinion because they aren't that grounded in their own. Religion probably is the most frequent area of intolerance. Doesn't make sense to me, either. If it is a religion of love, then showing disrespect and/or hate isn't showing love. You don't have to agree with something to accept that it exists. And you don't have to judge someone, call them names, if you disagree with them. We need to foster peace with the willingness to listen to each other without anger and judging. And most religions say they want to foster peace. Actions DO speak louder than words.

I am surprised that someone (like you) would want to be changed by others (like us). I would never ever allow someone to take the edge off me. Everyone has a right to be snippy, obnoxious, overbearing, name callers. I don't plan on 'playing nice' with anyone. I am nice the majority of the time---it's my sweet nature. But I won't play nice just because that is the rule of the KINDERGARTEN class. Sometimes names are appropriate. You can call me anything you want, just don't call me late for dinner.
