Who thinks of "other than Christianity" when you think Spirituality and Religion [Spirituality & Religion]

@Adstar how so?

@Adstar Hi, I apologize if that was written unclearly, I DO welcome ALL comments, thoughts, beliefs and HONOR your sincere responses to the question...

Secondly, by asking for NO PROSELYTIZING, I think that is where the "troll idea" came in. When someone answers with an attitude that "this is my faith, it's the only true one, I am right you are wrong", they sorely MISS THE POINT of this opportunity to communicate and THINK about what we believe.
SO...

IF someone who strongly believes that not only is their faith THE RIGHT ONE
(because I think I could justify that mine IS, but we are not permitted to "proselytize" as I believe, the Christians were mandated, doesn't mean it's right, it is what was given to them to do), then they are not to spew all about their religion in hopes of making converts. That's proselytizing.
[b]
They are asked WHAT THEY THINK, [/b]
not what they believe
or what they think that their faith requires them to do.

So far, so good though. I hope that clears things up for this conversation.
I am very much enjoying hearing about your experiences.

[b]So, Adstar,[/b] why the bee in your bonnet? [b]Do you have a strong, unshakable belief [/b]system that feels threatened with open and honest conversation? No matter what it is, [b]how you feel about Spirituality and Religion, in definition and of course, through experience is what is asked of you[/b].

Thank you for curtailing any proselytizing of your faith even though it was given to you from on High.
Respectfully and with love and prayers,
Ms A

1) [quote]What do YOU think[/quote]

2) [quote]no "my faith is better"[/quote]

What if a responder thinks their faith is better? They are invited to respond with what they think and then they are told they are restricted and cannot say what they think if their thoughts don't conform to the Dictatorial limitations imposed by the OP..

Therefore the OP is not genuinely interested in what people think.

[i]What if a responder thinks their faith is better? [/i]
@Adstar WHO DOESN'T "Think their faith is better?", or "lack of faith".
We are all permitted to believe what we want to believe and act upon it,
or not, in the same way.
[big][b]This post is not about "my faith is better than your faith",[/b]
that would be such an immature conversation, wouldn't it?[b] [/big]
Do you think your faith is BETTER? Good for you!!!
Yes, you are invited to respond to the question.
You are not restricted to speak of what you think of spirituality and religion,
if it is working for you, GREAT.

[i]They are invited to respond with what they think and then they are told they are restricted and cannot say what they think if their thoughts don't conform to the Dictatorial limitations imposed by the OP[/i]

[b]The only dictatorial limitation seems to be coming from you.[/b] In Psychology, the study of the human mind, there is a term called[b] "projection".[/b] You projected YOUR attitude while blaming me therefore you do not feel like an infidel or fallen subject of your religion.
I'm beginning to feel that you are
1) a troll
2) a young person with limited understanding
3) of a faith that has not permitted you to think for yourself.
[b]Which one are you?[/b]

[i]Therefore the OP is not genuinely interested in what people think[/i]
You read minds ??? upon being narrow minded, judgmental and arrogant? You are amazing!
You want to proselytize and I have asked that NO proselytizing be done, [b]don't like it? MOVE ON.[/b]
It's TRUE, [b]I am NOT genuinely interested in hearing more proselytizing [/b]
and [b]I do not care, if you are of that mindset, to hear what YOU think.[/b]
[b][big]I like to converse with those with faith who are seeking, still learning, not arrogant, proud or put themselves above others. I love the A Theists. They are truly the only ones, imho, who have the BALLS to think for themselves and say so unapologetically, I have much more respect for them than a person who would respond in this post as you did.[/big][/b] [b]Next?[/b] This is my ONLY response to you Adstar...Converse if you can.

@MsAlaineEYes I see how you start thrashing about and laying down accusations when your exposed as a hypocrite.. Best form of defense is attack hey??

Oh and people who think for themselves are limited by their imperfect minds.. That's why they end up atheists or following religions that conform to what THEY THINK God should be.. In the end imperfect people like this are only following what they think is right and in that they are actually declaring themselves their own god..

@MsAlaineEYes
General response to NO ONE.

[b]copy of my UNREAD reply: [/b]
The only dictatorial limitation seems to be coming from you.
In Psychology, the study of the human mind, there is a term called [b]"projection".[/b] You projected YOUR attitude while blaming me therefore you do not feel like an infidel or fallen subject of your religion.

Projection, [/b]definitely. It's amazing how after I have endured this massive projection by my abusive, christian, exhusband that I won't tolerate it and [b]easily SEE THE INANE ATTEMPT to silence me.[/b] Well, it doesn't work that way. My silence is their reply.

I believe in letting an abuser's "abuse" linger in the air
like the spray of a skunk on the highway.
It just hangs there. Says nothing. Means nothing
and is a momentary annoyance before you MOVE ON. 😜🤪🤣😂🦨💭🥱
