On one hand religion needs to be talked about and on the other so many people abuse it.
I do enjoy when people I disagree with are so civilized in their communication. I do come across those gems and find it gratifying. It gives me hope. azra_981 is one example. She and other Muslims have expressed the most loving affection to people of other faiths calling them "brothers and sisters".
Jesus gave us the Beattitudes that may apply to anyone of any belief or faith:
Blessed are those who know they are spiritually poor;
the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!
Blessed are those who mourn;
God will comfort them!
Blessed are those who are humble;
they will receive what God has promised!
Blessed are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires;
God will satisfy them fully!
Blessed are those who are merciful;
God will be merciful to them!
Blessed are the pure in heart;
they will see God!
Blessed are the peacemakers;
They are the children of God....

I do understand what you are saying and it can be hard at times. Other times I read something a christian will say and I am so blessed by their words. Then there are those times someone of no faith will say something of great worth and I take it away as treasure to be admired. But, more often then not I find it sad and mean with a lack of respect for themselves and everyone else.

In the Yahoo environment, I find the vast majority of quipped answerers to be demeaning. Those who are actually thinking out their answers and applying the best of their communication skills are inspiring even when I disagree with them. At least I know they are not malicious. Certain genres however (politics) are so partisan that even real attempts to communicate are filled with hatred and pre-programmed agendas. I think that there are more people on Yahoo who are trying to be both real and thoughtful, but their answers require more time and effort so = fewer answers overall while quipped answers are usually one word to 3 or 4 sentences. Easy to spread them all over. Drive by haters, I guess. They carry nothing of value for the community.

Jehovah's Witnesses are footstep fans of Christ and NEVER inform any individual that they are going to burn in Hell, actually they proportion the scriptures which exhibit what hell honestly is~ mankind's average grave... Also,JW's are joyful to talk about the parables Jesus used to instruct folks that could pay attention... Example : Rich Man and Lazarus. Anyone who KNOWS the True God (John 17:three) could also be aquainted with His attributes/character/cause/ and BELIEVES that GOD is the PERSONIFICATION of LOVE... No everlasting 'tormenter'... that is simply what Satan needs you to suppose, to hold mankind ignorant of the uncommon truths approximately Jehovah God. The doctrine is fake, vain ...It does not even hold folks 'in line' as a few suppose (Prisons are stuffed with people who consider in hellfire) The something which motivates Christians to serve God is LOVE, no longer worry of torment. JW's are servants of God, however FREE from such God-dishonoring doctrines... One extra purpose that fake faith has to GO, as proven in Rev 18 ... JW's real love God and their buddies. Some might look over-zealous,even pushy from time to time, however it is the method ANYONE who knew the remedy for AIDS,CANCER, and all different dreadful illnesses could act !!! If YOU knew honestly knew the CURE, you would be shouting from the rooftops & if they did not pay attention, you'll hold making an attempt, for the reason that YOU knew it was once lifesaving ! Same with JW'S, they KNOW the CURE for EVERYTHING is GOD'S KINGDOM ...That's the GOOD NEWS Jesus taught~ Today, JW's have major information within the TRACT being disbursed world wide. PS Hope you'll evaluate all the message.... Agape

very good verses. demeaning me personally makes me more inspiring, the more my faith become stronger, the more i embrace my beliefs, the more my spirits uplifted. demeaning is a challenge of faith and beliefs,and i think its healthy, because you can feel within yourself the determination of believing that Gods words have important part to your daily life. nobody can take away the undconditional love of god to you.

People demean me and my faith. However, after a person has demeaned me, God turns around and inspires me in some way to help me keep my faith in Him.

I'm the same way. I tell people my beliefs without trying to force them on people.
