Tell me honestly y do u invalidate other religion/philosophy/faith?

Answer 1

Only ignorants do this for their egos.

Answer 2

I don't. I believe that all religions are equally valid (except Scientology, which is a con, not a religion) because no one can really prove anything about God or the metaphysical world beyond a reasonable doubt.
I think many people do it because their religion tells them to, because according to their faiths anyone who does not believe the same thing they do is doomed to suffer for eternity. Christians get blamed particularly often because it is said in the Bible that if they don't do their best to convert someone who does not believe, they are in just as much trouble as the nonbeliever.

Answer 3

I try only to invalidate parts of other religions that my own teaching and understanding of the Word cannot support. As Christians, we are not to "offend in word or deed," so I try to search for the truth where I can find it. I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings.

Answer 4

I cannot invalidate anyone else's religion, philosophy or faith. To make something invalid, that person has to live not according to their belief.

Validity of a philosophy may be debated and may shown to have inconsistencies. In which case one can then point those out. Such are the rules of the freemarket place of ideas.

Religion is an organized juggernaut that has little to do with logic or the Divine but with men's power over others and how those subjugated masses are to obey, send money, and serve those seen as in authority over them. Sometimes religions send their followers off to kill other religions, sometimes to kill themselves, often to deprive their members of money, food, or other human behavior/wonts/needs. Debate here is closed and usually only available within the alpha male pinnacles. A parrish priest, for instance, has little with changing anything within the Catholic religion. Jerry Falwell would hardly listen to a caller who said to lighten up a little on gays.

Faith is the irrational, unrational, hopeful clinging to a set of beliefs in the nature of the supernatural. It is the comfort in the middle of a chaotic and scary world that although death and disease comes for us all, some form of life goes on even past the grave. Faith is certainly not debatable, not validatable. If put to the test, faith will fail. Pray for a coin to be heads twenty times in a row. Your faith there will be in vain. Of course, many safeguards on faith will then be evoked: do not tempt or try your God (whichever God you worship) is the normal response. Pray for cancer to be cured, hunger or even war to be stopped. Same thing. Sometimes something does happen and then the religious leaders hold that one success up as a shining star for the faithful.

In case anyone reads this and cares, I had no faith. I read all the refutation of the proofs of God's existence. All of them. I then had two life-after-life experiences. I now believe that what I experienced in those moments of transcendence bliss was The Ineffable Light. Now, it may have been just hard-wired into my brain and not something outside. I admit that. Just saying that I am not afraid of dying. I am pope (beyond secular authority in matters spiritual) of my own church and I do not seek nor welcome converts.

You folks out there may worship any Rock, Thunder God, Solar Disk, Moon Diety, Dying and Resurrecting Vegetative God, or Flying Spaghetti Monster you wish. Same to me. Love hanging out with you. Just do not expect me to convert to your religion, do not force any of it on me. I am not afraid to die to preserve my right to that freedom.

Peace and a big HI to all the SubG's out there.

Answer 5

I don't invalidate...I educate. Most folks in here refuse to LEARN anything beyond what they wish to believe in than proceed to question others beliefs. Without kowledge the arguements in here get tedious and do tend toward invalidating others beliefs. Why is that, you ask? It's because people in here can't keep the dicsussion generic and get way too specific, that's why. PEACE!

Answer 6

When people use religion/philosophy/faith to spread hate and justify harm, Im all too happy to trash them.

Answer 7

Because they are silly. And most of what is wrong with the world is due to the apathy, ignorance, and/or fanaticism stemming from religious belief.

Answer 8

By simply existing. The truth does not need validation. It is self evident. Only fantasies need constant validation to exist.

Answer 9

No, but I invalidate @ssholes who try to shove thiers down my throat.

Answer 10

you can't invalidate something that's already been wrong for 2000 years
