Does anyone else think that it is wrong.......?

Question

To place one section of a religious group within the same religion, over the tops of the other groups in the same religion and/or let them bully the others into submission? Or should the other groups get up off their butts and tell the dweeb-monkeys (that are rather new on the scene by the way) to either live and let live or get lost?

Exactly, 'notyou311', this is why the group around only since the 1800's needs to take a flying leap in my opinion.

And please no more talk of christianity being the superior and loving religion. I've seen how loving Mr. Bush and his 'righteous vs. evil' war is faring and I've read the history books regarding pogroms, spanish inquisition, expulsions and etc. against jews, the crusades against the muslims, etc. Nasty christian neighbors from all sects of christianity. For this reason my opinion will forever be that christians talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk.
No one religious group is immune to this tragedy, so no one religious group had better claim it. Not in this little pocket of answers.
Look at the mess between Islamic factions.
Look at the monopoly in Israel held by highly superstitious orthodox, the newest group.
Look at disagreements between christians as to who is really christian. The newest groups are always the worst and the most offensive.
I think I'm gonna' start the religion of "Me and my kids" and we'll practice at home.

(Bye-the-way, it will still be the one true God we're worshipping, just minus the religious organizations and their lack of agreement on the topic/personage.)

(Orthodox are the newest group of Jews, although several hundred years old, but interestingly enough have been around exactly as long as the Mormons who are also self-righteous and obnoxious amongst their leadership. This is true in any new religion.)

Answer 1

I'll tackle your opening question.
Yes, I do think it wrong.
Although I have chosen a particular faith as one that I personally feel is the correct path towards righteousness, it is not for me to guide, steer, cajole, bully or otherwise coerce others into my faith.

For those comfortable with their faith, GREAT!
But I wish they would stop trying to tell me that MY belief is wrong and that only their way is THE way.

It is equally wrong for people to state: God is on our side.
My first response to them is: yes, but are you on God's side?
God doesn't choose political parties...nor does God wish for us to kill, harm, abuse or ignore each other.
If anything, I suspect that God wants us to repair the world, make it a better place for the children and those who will come in the future.

Answer 2

I'm assuming that the "religious group" is not christian because Christians are commanded in John 15 verse 17 to love one another. If it's not christian I don't know how to answer your question.

Answer 3

11 or 12? either way....religion is for beliefs. i dont see how one can "bully" the other, but who knows.
i spent forever staying away from this subject, but ppl seem to want to know.
Here is what to do in a nutshell....be good....thats heaven on the way.
**** up ....and what you hate most will be 1000 times over {called Hell}...
its that simple

Answer 4

Religion is kindness regardless of the particulars. Explain to them that dominance and segragation are ways that will weaken the whole and their actions of superiority are dangerous to the message that this group as a whole wishes to convey.

Answer 5

Who is it to say the Nordic pantheon of gods, the warriors of Vallhalla aren't the real, perfect and true faith? There's no contradiction in being violent and being pious, zealous, religious...

You could all be sucking ash in an afterlife of a disapproving warrior god like Thor. Why would he want your sheepish meekness in his palace? He'd laugh at you.

Answer 6

How can anyone claim to be religious if they bully others?

Answer 7

law of nature. gain power to control and keep your ways intact.
