friends! jews, christians, muslims, atheists, scientologists (etc..) i don't care anymore what ur religion is, if you like it then Good for you. I am a christian and i believe in God Almighty. You don't have to believe in him because it's your decision (free will). i am not going to preach anymore, there are way too many arguements about this, so i'll just let it be. Who agrees with me to let people have whatever religion or non-religion that they want. I just want to respect them all now!
Have a happy day!

Maybe we should all be more open to asking and answering questions in a respectful and genuinely curious manner. It seems no one is really interested in learning about why and what people believe.

Good for you. You finally listened to the Bible - you know... where it tells us not to "judge' others? This could be one of the reasons.
See how many arguments there are on here about religion?? Think about the entire world. This is just people asking and answering questions. It gets a LOT more serious in the real world. But good for you. I'm a christian also (I was taught that way) -- yet, at the same time, I am open to listening and learning about all. Believe it or not a lot of the "books" are similar to the bible.

Of course! God is awesome and it's your choice! I just wish everyone would stop fighting about who is right and who is not! Christians are right about some thing and Jews are right about other things and ect. Christians aren't right about all things but are right about others! Same with most other religions.

Good for you. You sound like you are growing up and maturing into an accepting, tolerant human being. Hopefully there will be more like you.
I have never cared about what religion (if any) a person is. I like or dislike them based on their actions.
Even if I personally dislike them I try to realize that they have come into my sphere of existance for some underlying reason that I need to learn from, OR I have come into their sphere of existance for them to learn something from.
Live by example, it's the best teacher.

Only if more people had this mentality, eh?
I'm Pagan and have respect for all religions. I just don't like being disrespected you know? It hurts when people presume I'm a bad person just because I have different beliefs.

It is hard to accomplish. Just like 21 or 22 states have marriage between one man and one woman passed and the rest of the states don't. The truth divides people just like Jesus saying that He would come between parents and children and between sisters and brothers.

Well, first I want to congratulate you on learning to respect others with different beliefs. We should all do that, regardless of beliefs. However, tha doesn't mean that they're right; the only way to heaven is through Jesus. I can't just forget about their immortal souls so that we can all feel warm and fuzzy, I just can't.

Amen! You can't really control peoples' minds anyway. Respect is a Christian principle.
You have a good day, too!

everyone has their right to believe the way they want. no one should try to force anyone to change. if someone has a sincere question, i'm happy to answer it as best i can, but i won't try to beat them over the head.
i agree with you!

This is possibly the most sensible piece of writing I have ever seen on this forum.
