Religion is personal. No one needs to share their religion unless asked to by someone willing to learn. If your religion is only uplifted by bashing another, don't share it. No one is better than the other.
sure practice your religion as you wish, but not everyone wants to hear it....believe it or not, I'm a witness. But I don't think God wants people to be forced to love him. Or annoyed by his message.
I'm so tired of all these self righteous, better-than-thee religious questions.
Keep it to yourself, agree??

I have my religion, I do belive in God. Being a witness, we are required to share God's word....yet I practice differently. People know my religion, become curious, then I tell them. I have had friends attend meetings with me & loved it.
But if you push too hard, you push people away. I don't hate anyone. I'm not complaining, or whining, I just wanted to know who agrees with me.
If you feel differently, you don't have to answer. I'm not attacking you, so why the hostility?

I don't mind people sharing their belief experiences, just so long as they don't cross the line and try to force their beliefs on others.
One of the reasons I come to this forum is to read the viewpoints of people of different traditions. I'm firm in my beliefs, but that doesn't mean I can't learn something from others. If nothing else, I might learn to better understand how my neighbors think.
The best way to entice someone to take your faith or philosophy seriously is to set a good example for it. Telling others they're "wrong-headed," "being led by Satan," or "surely going to hell" isn't likely to make them warm up to your beliefs. Show them how kind, open-minded, understanding, and dedicated to peace you are, and they might ask questions instead of looking for the nearest exit.

Although I agree with your statements I would beg to differ on one point. That is that Jesus commanded us to, "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:19,20) No, as Christians we are taught NOT to force anything down peoples throats, unfortunately some do though. Everyone IS equal because everyone is a sinner, only Christians have been forgiven and simply want others to be forgiven as well.

He that win souls is wise. So often times as saints of God we were sleeping during the wisdom training. Love is what draws souls to the kingdom of God, sin condemns us all. So often times we forget how God drew us, and therefore we get the misconception that condeming will make people consider their ways, but a lot of times we have a lack of decernment therefore the approach drives instead of draws.
Be blessed

That subject is the one that will never be settled. Well not until people find out just what religion is and why it was created. Yes if I want you to tell me about your religion I will ask so until then enjoy it.

The thing that goes against what you are saying is that God Himself has commanded all Christians to go into all the world and preach the gosple.
This means telling you, telling them, telling everyone about Christ.
Now if we did not tell you about Jesus, we wouldn't be true Christians.
People are concerned about your soul. That isn't a bad thing.
So......get near me and I'll mention it to you. Deal with it.
As a matter of fact........
Now would bw a good time to start....
Are you a Christian? Do you know Jesus?

Yeah, it can get pretty tiresome listening to people bash other people's religions. My boss does that all the time. I don't mind him talking about christianity per se, but he also throws in his opinions about who will be going to hell and guess what, nobody at his church is going!

If you're tired of religious questions, then go to another site because you're gonna see them here. Or be a glutton for punishment! Don't whine and complain or "keep it to yourself".
