Help! I want my family to STOP arguing about who's RELIGION is the best.?

Question

I want my sibilings and my parents to stop arguing about who's religion is the best and realize how stupid they are being. My sibilings are kind of muslim(don't ask it would take way to much of our time) & my parents are christian. I am agnostic, so I am not involved in the arguments but I think they should be tollerant of one another. What do you think I should do?

Answer 1

Why do you want them to stop arguing about controversial matters? Arguing is a process of digesting food for mind and it is better to discuss a question without settling it than to settle a question without discussing it. The most important thing is the rules of the discussion or argument. You are lucky if your family live in a place where you can discuss anything. In some countries these are taboos as your brothers might have killed your father or vice verse. Anyway, religion, any religion, is a thorny road that may lead to nothingness.

Answer 2

You'll never win this battle because your family doesn't get the true meaning of religion! No matter what your/their belief systems no one should argue about it. All religions believe in some type of God, and they have angels or spiritual messengers so at least we have some common ground. The whole concept is to constantly seek for the truth, be kind to others and watch how you react to all situations! They shouldn't be arguing they should be loving each other. Life is too short to want to be right all the time and miserable rather than not being sure and just happy as can be.It's not like when they die one will come back and say...see I was right.....NO NO NO! We all get to the same place one day no matter what your belief, it just takes some of us A LOT longer than others. Just my opinion though. Be the bigger person and just laugh at them or walk away and turn this matter over to God or whom ever you can count on.

Answer 3

I'm personally not religious at all because i think that besides giving some people hope, religion a major cause for bad things. In your case it causes family arguments, but that is just a minor issue. It causes racism, which caused the Holocaust ,many wars, and especially hatred to each other. It also was created to explain unanswered questions such as where did we come from. However I'm getting of topic. If you want them to stop arguing, tell them that there is no overall better religion. Whatever religion sounds more realistic or helps you more is best for you.

Answer 4

I don't know what your faith is. I am glad that you have faith in God. I am of the belief that anyone who believes on the Lord, will be saved. Is it necessary to have a discussion with family members or anyone that you know, about religion? My thing would be that it is a good thing that the person(s) have found the Lord and wish to follow His 10 Commandments and other superior rules. The Lord wants us all to have love and patience with each other. I would follow through on that level. I read Psalm 35 to (Plead My Cause) and let God know that I respect Him and always need His help.Before I wander out into the vast world, I also read Psalm 4 for (Safety and Protection) against odd occurrences in this world. Remember that it takes at least two people to instigate an argument. Know this, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" - Romans 8:31. Peace and God Bless.

Answer 5

The muslims need to be taken out and shot if they won't convert; their religion is based entirely on lies and deception. If they have any brains at all, they wouldn't have 'gone muslim'. If they're that stupid, I would put as much distance between them and yourself. They may be siblings of yours, but you need to get involved and not be so LAZY by calling yourself an agnostic. I don't think you have any clue what either "religion" is about. You should study both sides of the argument, then you will see whats right.

Answer 6

You seem to get the picture!There's no proof to anyones beliefs(religious people or non-believers)...
Just set a good example and try not to take sides-as a matter of fact,just leave the room once it starts to get heated or before they start to argue...unless you want to stick around for the entertainment...maybe one day,if their pride doesn't get in the way,they'll come to realize that your way isn't all that bad!
It's best to let them hash it out...you're neutral anyways,so why get involved with what you really don't understand and/or care for..?
Both their religions teach about love,hate & forgiveness...and they seem to be old enough to make sense of it all...hopefully they can set all the non-sense aside and just be a family again-one that doesn't have the need to tell one another who's right or wrong,and just realize that religion shouldn't be force fed to eachother/anyone!!!

Answer 7

Chris Rock played a character in "Dogma" that said and I'm paraphrasing here; "the problem with religions are that they are based on beliefs and beliefs are harder to change than ideas".
The way I see it humans are fallible beings that tend to skew things to fit into their own agenda of things. I know God exists. My Mom God rest her soul believed that Catholicism was the only TRUE religion. Maybe we should spend less time arguing something that can't be proven and instead spend more time trying to be more considerate, kind, good people.

Answer 8

Have everyone that is arguing come over.Then have a talk with them all.Tell them everyone has there right to there own beliefs.Tell them they should never argue about religion that they should never bring the subject up and talk about anything but religion.It is very childish to be arguing about religion.Tell your parents God would not be happy with them arguing.Hope it helps.Good Luck!

Answer 9

I skipped the define for one reason. We in basic terms combat via way of internet, no longer in actual existence, flame wars are exciting with any subject, on right here, this is faith, yet flame wars (internet wars) do no longer exist in actual existence, as a result, we've regular human beings conversations exterior of the internet.

Answer 10

You can't tell other people what to do, and if they wish to be intolerant of each other...then let them be. I know it's irritating and I know it's frustrating, but people will be people and people will believe in what they believe in; it's just that simple.
Let it go, don't really worry about it, and certainly don't take sides if you wish to stay out of it...let it flow and eventually it will either run it's course, or they'll just get tired of fighting.
