I agree with your question. Every morning I used to ask 'Lets respect humans' are you in? I stopped for a while. There are many people who really don't 'want' to respect anyone. I am a christian and I have Christ in my heart. I don't "want' to hate or judge anyone. I don't ram my beliefs down anyones throat. I have not always had these beliefs. I do understand the people who don't believe. I would like to print you this quote- " Time will change and even reverse many of your present opinions. Refrain, therefore, awhile from setting yourself up as a judge of the highest matters." Plato Something to think about.

Good question, spell checker is a useful tool though!! Not to worry.
The problem is that the minority of people who are bold and outgoing and who do not get along, make it seem like a majority, because you will only remember the people who say something outrageous compared to someone saying something agreeable, right?
For example, it is a similar way to how everyone seems to think that Muslims are all suicide bombers, and everyone makes disgusting jokes about, which of course is ridiculous, and this is only a minority, but it seems like a majority because we are offended by them and think it is ridiculous, and they also speak louder.
I have deep respect for people of other faiths, or of no faith even though I am myself a Christian. What does offend me is people trying to offend me by asking deliberately horrible questions about my faith, at which point I feel a little entitled to replying equally viciously. The fact is, everyone always thinks they are right, no matter what, and also generally people like to look out for others. I would try and convert someone as I think they are wrong in their beliefs and would benefit from becoming a Christian, but I try not to as it offends them.
Hope this helps.

Im not into any religion at all. Im an atheist and a scientist. I say believe what you want its none of my concern. BUT most people like being right about things and its the same story when it comes to religion. People think theiers is right and none other so then arguments start and its a downward spiral from there. Also it doesnt help when you see street preachers. They're just askin for triuble by forcing they're views on others.

a extensive element to the black civil rights got here under Lyndon Johnson and the Republicans at that component vehemently adversarial those civil rights. Heck, up until eventually the overdue 1980's or later, maximum Republicans adversarial the marriage of a white and black guy or woman. those are 2 that are only on the top of the iceberg. whilst a occasion grow to be traditionally against your rights, it takes a protracted time until eventually now human beings start up vote casting for that occasion. by way of fact in case your loved ones votes Democratic, you will maximum in all likelihood have comparable perspectives to your loved ones and additionally will vote Democrat. the comparable often is going for Republican families. yet you would be wanting a small share which will change events. you besides might ought to look at it from the attitude that Republican legislations often favors the wealthy. And the proportion of black families under the poverty line is plenty greater than for white families.

because everyone is so into a religion that nobody doesn't think relationship and together we stand , divided we fall. but good point. lets face it humans are not perfect that is why we have a God whose thoughts are higher than ours,and his ways are different then ours.maybe if we all got down on are knees to pray it would be a better place.lets face it when something bad happens it seems that we do,but when there isn't a crisis who wants to do that.but im with your opinion too.im tired of the fighting all the time, just want peace.

This is a good question. I can speak only to Christianity although I think this applies to Islam as well (someone please correct me if I have misunderstood)...We are told by our Lord to "go out and make disciples of all nations" to take the good news of the gospel to everyone in the world. Often we Christians become overzealous and confused. We forget about extending grace altogether and are quite aggressive and judgmental. Understandably, this approach produces very few converts and lots of hostility.
Can we all just get along? Yes, I believe we can if we approach one another with respect and the recognition that we are ALL God's beloved creation. We all have the same human frailties and potentials.
If Christians want to show their love for God by following His command to tell the good news, we must also realize and accept that conversion is not our work...it is the work of the Holy Spirit. We just need to relax and be willing to reach out compassionately to whomever crosses our path in life and share honestly what has happened in our lives. I doubt that this will be seen as threatening. I know I would not feel at all threatened if someone from another religion approached me in this way.
Now, having first looked to our own faults, I will say that the approach of other religions sometimes feels threatening and the most natural response to feeling threatened is to defend. Since I cannot change another, only myself, I believe that this dynamic needs to be recognised for what it is and then with the help of God, I need to respond to tearing, ripping, shredding statements toward me in the most gracious way possible, with love - as Jesus commanded. I remind myself of the grace that God has extended to me and this helps, though I admit that it is still sometimes difficult.
Peace and grace to you, my justifiably frustrated friend.

Because half the time it isn't about the religion itself, but any experiences in it or with the people of the religion. People have a basic instinct to judge and that is what they are going to do. They judge upon the cover of all religion which are their congregations and not their beliefs. This also brings about miscommunications and uniformed people trying to instruct others about religions they have no idea about. The golden rule is to love thy neighbor as thyself and people are too proud to just be humble and accept people as they are and not what they believe.

Yes if someone proposed a question on someone'religion,the anwser will tell that his/her religion is the best and the other religion is wrong.It is logic.But from his/her answer we can judge whether his/her statments are right and logic By reading their answers we know the difference in teaching among our religions.It will enrich our knowledge.But as long as in this area of discussion,I think we do not need to worry it.It will not harm our unity,because we are uniting in diversity..In Islamic teaching there is prohibited asking someone by force to other religion followers to convert his/her religion.We have the obligation to explain what is Islamic religion.
But we do not want someone to enter into our religion by forcing him/her.We do not want to attract other religion followers by giving help foods and other materials or money with a condition that they should convert their religion to Islam.Your religion is yours and my religion is mine.Allah will open someone's heart and mind if he/she will convert freely to Islam.Islam is a pure monotheism religion.We pray to Alleh,no other God than Allah.Islam was given by Allah for all human beings in this world as a life guidance.Islamic religion followers respect other religion followers as long as they also respect us.We all love peace and can live friendly side by side with other religon followers.

Well, as a Christian, I try my utmost to get along with everyone, regardless of whatever differences there might be between us. Through the years, some of my closest friends were Catholics, Hindus, atheists, agnostics, Wiccans, Buddhists, gays, metrosexuals, latinos, blacks, asians, Italians, among many others.
We are called to love all of mankind as if they were our brothers and sisters. That doesn't mean all of their choices in life are what's best for them, and I'd tell them of the consequences of their actions (usually because I'd already been down that path, or because God gave me the wisdom to know it), because I did not want to see my friends hurt.
Problem is, is with strangers, I have the same kind of concerned-love for them as I did with my friends, however it is usually taken with a good deal of hostility, assuming I'm trying to push my moralities and my beliefs down their throat... when the fact is, is I don't want to see anyone die from their own ignorance or sorrows, nor do I wish to see anyone perish from their sins.
I know it's hard for many people to accept the fact that, I believe whether you choose salvation or not, it's your choice, and I won't force anyone to believe the way I do... but I won't stand idly by and just *let* someone walk headlong into addiction, suffering, sorrow, death, and hell, without letting them know what they're getting themselves into first. And many Christians who preach, witness, minister, and teach, believe the same was as I do... that no one is worthy to die or be hellbound for a stupid reason.
Many non-believers say, "Well, if you have God-given powers, use them to heal those who need it... ie the laying of hands for healing those in hospitals, etc"... well, God gave me the gift of a little bit of wisdom... and when I use it, those very same people tell me to 'put my gift away, since they don't need it'... lol.

that is a tough one to answer. we shuold be able to get along with everyone but based on beliefs and how they are interpeted and lived, it is not something that will happen. If we all try to do what is right and good and think about others, then there is a chance, but too many hide behind thier faiths to avoid truth.
