yesterday i happened to talk with one of my classmates, who's a protestant. i talked about catholic practices and he was alert, agitated and lost his cool. i think i dont need to quote his blahblahblah. u know what it was about. jesus, they believe in the same god, what if they dont? why cant they leave each other alone?
Some people, when hearing others talk about their religion, feel like you're imposing your beliefs on them, which may be why he got agitated, just a thought.
Another reason people don't like to hear about other peoples religion, is because it could point out a flawed belief in thier own belief system, which instead of strenghtening thier own faith by understanding, cripples them through thier own dissolution.
Blessed are the peace makers. Love your neighbors as yourself. In order to know a man you must first walk a mile in his shoes. If you ain't loven, you ain't livin. If the arguemnent doesn't lign up the you're no different than the Jews and Mosulums. If that's the case ... God help us all. Remember Ghandi taught us that you can truly defeat an enemy until you love him. Peace be with you
yeah I'm jewish and technically , i belive in the same god as them , and they still freak at me for not being all " I LOVE JESUS ! I WANT TO BE THE VIRGIN MARY" geez
The fact is that nearly every person I have ever met that claims to believe in a god has tried, at one time or another to get me to convert to their religion, and their "take" on that religion. I can understand why people get a bit upset about it. The other week some Jehovas Witnesses came to the door and were difficult to get rid of. I don't go to their houses and start trying to get them to see that the Existentialist world view is correct so why should they try to convert me?
