Why do people insist that their belief is true and beliefs followed by others are false ?

Doesn't that sound too disrespectful?

My adage is: If it’s not science, it’s superstition. I like truth and truth demands to be tested.

@BlueSkyKing Absolutely. We can't say one is true and other is false without being tested. When it comes spirituality, it's highly unlikely to have been tested with conviction.
@SW-User The scientific method is one of the great inventions in history.

And what a careless, foolish, irresponsible way, to leave your own soul's destination, to chance. The Truth speaks for itself. God doesn't have to prove anything to His creation. He already did that on the cross. The requirement for salvation is that you don't set the standard. God does...and people's pride goes before the fall.
@LadyGrace I add an "o" and have a belief in good instead. A person’s religion is tied to where they are born. In Mumbai, you’re likely a pan theist. Indonesia a Muslim. Dublin a Roman Catholic.
@BlueSkyKing Don't assume. And all the goodness in the world, doesn't hold merit when it comes to salvation, nor get one eternal life in heaven. Jesus said so:

EPHESIANS 2:8 "For by [b]grace[/b] are ye saved, through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"

You can't, and don't, earn a gift. It is freely given. The very word "grace" means [i]UN-earned favor from God.[/i] Meaning, not one thing, can one do, to earn their own salvation. Jesus said so. You can't set the standard. And religion has nothing to do with salvation. Your individual choice does. Not denomination or anything else. Religion is nothing but man-made philosophy. Religion didn't die on the cross for our sins. Jesus did. That makes it a personal relationship; not futile, unstable religion.

@BlueSkyKing Assume like you? See, you never have a legitimate answer to what I say, so you always divert to accusations and criticisms. Give it up.
