I just came from a funeral, a very Christian funeral, in an actual church where I spent time decades ago. I kinda understand how you feel, it's not that I'm not religious but that's not my religion. I'm not going to judge you for whatever it is you believe or don't believe.

@robb65 I think it's cool. People have wars over religion when peace is a fundamental of most. Coexisting is the important part.

As a Christian with deep faith in my beliefs, I follow not perhaps a biblical doctrine to " save souls" whatever the cost. If my challenge of values stems rebuke then so be it.
We are free to choose our own path in this one life, as per free will.
I accept people for who they are and where they are.
If however I am sought, I'll share my testimony with abandon.
Personally I think you're fabulous. Regardless of which sides of 10000 lines you stand upon

I grew up in a Christian household and we were always taught to tell others about Jesus and share the faith. I do appreciate you being respectful about other’s beliefs. Not many people are like that, even most Christians

A computer without an antivirus program may be affected by the viruses. In the same way the people who don’t believe in God may be possessed easily by the evil spirits and go in a wrong path and reach a wretched condition. You must believe in good and God. The more you believe the more would be the possession of the spirits related to the good and God. Your life will be smooth, steady and peaceful without an obstacle.
God never bothers whether people believe in him or not. God's direct intervention in individuals' affairs is very rare. God doesn't watch each and every human being at the same time and cannot live with each and everyone to guide them. These works are done by the spirits. God had created different kinds of spirits for various purposes. He had made the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits, not for human beings. God is a mystery even to the spirits. Spirits are not eternal beings but their lifetime is long. Spirits are separate elements. A human being during his/her lifetime is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, instincts, interests and everything. Further there will be always some spirits with you on behalf of your parents, friends, relatives and Gods you believe. Only these spirits make you remember them in a certain situations. All of these spirits are your consciousnesses and memories. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. A mind is a group/formation of many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. A mind is just like a computer's mind. After the computer is completely destroyed you will not get its mind. The same is the case with the human beings. A brain is a device used by the spirits to control the body and mind. (A senior spirit or a chief can control other spirits) A human being doesn't have a spiritual body. Soul is an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. A body's functionality is based on the auto mechanism. After death all spirits which accompanied a person quit and go to different places searching new bodies. No one lives after death in any form. All human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games.

I think you saw the same post I did. I was also wondering how to respond seeing how the post is very kind and genuine in wanting others to feel better.
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@froggtongue this was about a response to a post I made but I definitely see people of different faiths trying to share something bright and beautiful. It is genuine and I know to them it means a lot. I guess it's best to leave it at that.
froggtongue · M
@ScreamingFox I think we struggle with this because we know that if they bring more to their religion, the more who will take things to a religious extreme. And that's most what we're trying to prevent. That and trying to help them catch up on what we know as a species. Things like statistics and likelihood of events and science that contradicts their beliefs.
Blondily · F
Just say I'll pray for you too then walk away. Ive had people say religious stuff to me too. I just nod and say the above. No drama involved.

You must be around a lot of Christians in order to hear this and whosoever tells you this must feel some type of love for you.
since there is over 10,000 recorded different religions, why would that be if it wasn't installed in us that there is a higher power than us there is something supernatural going on that we can't see. Unbelievers will fail humans just made it up to explain what they don't understand. Nope it's more than that.
And of these 10,000 different religions what do they have in common? Generally it's an entity or entities that created all things visible. Generally it's an entity or entities that comes from the skies down to earth, they are from somewhere else other than Earth. Generally it's an entity that is Spirit / supernatural and can also have physical form that the eye can see.
It's your right to be who you choose to be, to believe what you choose to believe or not believe. Why not separate yourself from them? hopefully anger will not rile up

I believe in respecting everyone's personal spirituality/religious philosophy.
Until they push it in my face and tell me I'm going to burn in hell unless I do as they do, then they get a different me.
One of the many things I don't understand about people is why the need to make their own personal belief yours. They can't just be happy with what works for them, they have to try to make it mine or pass laws based on their religion or turn science on it's head to try to prove what they have is the real thing.

@robingoodfellow and most of us have a lot in common in our practices and traditions and values anyway. The rest should be personal. And hey, celebrate with each other! Except thanksgiving eff that.

Those other names don't sound familiar, but I know why Christians tend to do that. It's something Jesus said which has been translated into English. 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me'.
PicturesOfABetterTomorrow · 41-45, M
My issue is alot of the people who feel emboldened to tell people "You need Jesus" or "you need God in your life" often have no idea what the bible says and think that Christianity is about imposing their views on others or racking up converts like a points system.
SwampFlower · 31-35, F
I tell them they need to get to know them better 👀
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@SwampFlower many years ago I went to church and bible study to understand. Jesus was rad. Is that what you mean?
SwampFlower · 31-35, F
@ScreamingFox Well that and someone using their religion to attack or judge someone else clearly means they have more to learn about their faith.
