What's with all this negativity regarding different people's religions? [Spirituality & Religion]

Why don't the lot of you just agree to differ instead of arguing about it and posting negative shit? People on a public website don't want to know about others' disagreements.
People have a right to discuss that, just like any other subject. However, in a respectful manner. When it gets to arguing, as in any other subject, it should definitely stop. I agree.

For a religion to survive in the long term it must acquire new members, and that means it must take in converts by any means. Religions that leave others be will disappear.

@Atomic Because the people on those sites already have their minds made up for the most part. They need to seek FRESH blood. The unsuspecting are perfect targets.

I'm sorry it's annoying, it's by design.

let them argue about religion as they will; the only thing that truly makes life/time precious is death. they will never understand this concept since they feel they’ve got eternity to debate.

If nobody ever objects then all those foolish, harmful religions win.

It's all fine and good to say "live and let live" but what about the people those fundies want to exterminate? Am I to "live and let live" while they are trying to murder me? I think not.

Your advice is exceedingly dangerous for some people.

It's not about religion, never has been or ever will be about religion. It's about a relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, by His Holy Spirit. No religion about it.

@Atomic It's not what, it's who. He doesn't make me say anything. I say it, because it's the truth that God revealed to me through His Holy Spirit of truth that dwells within me.

@Atomic [quote]That's still religion as far as I can see. I am not going to argue any further about that. It's religion and that's that.[/quote]

Just because you say so doesn't make it so. You can say it's religion until your black in the face and it still wouldn't be the truth.

I agree with you on the first part...you lost me on the second part. This site is a public forum designed for people to share their stories, feelings, beliefs, and opinions. There are going to be disagreements, but then that's where we get back to what you said at first.🤠

@Atomic It's interesting to see different points of view...what I'm saying is that people don't mind seeing things that are different or don't agree, they just don't want to see the fights, attacks, and nastiness (like you said in the beginning).

What negativity?

I finally see some questions trying to understand others: does your faith have dietary restrictions and so on.

I might have the negative ones blocked or vice versa.

@Atomic Oh. So it's my fault now?

Wow.

Didn't take many moves for you to get there. Epic.

Condemn religious bigotry.

Condemn the people who experience religious bigotry.

Apparently they do because for better or worse, those arguments are hugely popular.

@Atomic Yup but unfortunately, this ain’t the pub where you drink.

@Emosaur What I find particularly objectionable is the way they often target impressionable children. It's bad enough when they fill their own children's heads with their BS but it really goes too far when they attempt to corrupt other people's.

Trying to rationalize the irrational is a waste of time.
