Why is it so important for religious people to have others believe the same as them?

Delusions are better when shared.
If your beliefs are irrational and contradictory, it feels better if others with similar delusions surround you. It's about support.

In my opinion, it isn't. The only thing I think is important that if you believe Jesus was the Messiah and was born, died a death of theives and rose 3 days later and is the only way to heaven....then we are good. The rest we can argue about, debate and fight until we are blue in the face and both leave thinking the other is wrong. People pick apart the bible and try to fit the 'world' in the bible when we should be trying to fit the 'bible' into the world. People are like "the bible is so full of symbolism". This is true, it does have this in it but it can be taken literally as well. Don't try to analyze it and pick it apart...embrace our differences and agree to disagree on some things. That is why there are so many churches and denomenations!

It isn't important for others to share "my beliefs." It's important for them to know "the truth." God is the one who determined what the truth is; I didn't. And you know, it's funny, the truth has a stubborn way of not changing or going away, no matter how many people argue against it. The reason we share our beliefs with others is because we want to see them blessed in the same way we have been by our wonderful Savior! Is that really so bad?

It isn't a case of having others believe as I do as much as it is sharing the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
It's somewhat like you find a really great buy on an item that you know your friends would be interested in, you immediately tell them where they can get it and save money.
Rather simple explanation but that really does sum it up.

I don't care if you share my Religious Belief System or not. GOD is to big to be in only one place. there are many paths and ways to get to one's destination as one can walk, ride a bike, a motorcycle, take a train, a plane, a bus, etc. and still arrive. arriving is the important thing -- not how. as long as everyone respects the free will and rights of others and as long as one abides by the laws rules and mores of the Country in which one resides then one should worship as they please. the only real differences in one Religion and another are the NAMES they refer to GOD as along with the differences in the Rituals and Ceremonies used to Honor, Praise, Worship, Pray to and Petition, Thank, Adore, Etc. Etc.

This is not important. What is important is to share your gift so others can see. Everything else will fall into place.

Its important to share ideas that others share for reasons like emotional support, spiritual support, teachings.

The ability to share is dependent on the fact that the thing or idea or belief that you will share is something that you possess - and I think no one will against this statement. Now for Christians (i can only speak for them because I am one too), their ability to share is not only dependent to the belief that they have but something more majestic, more beautiful and bigger than us. Our desire to share our belief stems from the overflowing of love that we experience - love from God and from our brothers. It is because of this experience of love that overflows that allows us to declare to the world that God is good - and that He is Love.

If no person is looking approximately your ideals, it rather isn't any longer. each and every time I tell somebody i'm Agnostic, they flow on and on approximately how good it feels to be a Christian, or how Taoism replaced their existence, or how happy they're as Mormons. each and all the jointly as i'm asserting close the f up in my head...i do no longer care, if i became curious i might determine it out and learn it on my own. It in my view makes me experience compelled on and uncomfortable, because of the fact my buddies evaluations have no longer something to do with mine.

Christains believe there is a heaven and a hell. God has given us the precious gift of His Son to be our Savior to enjoy abundant life on earth and eternal life in heaven. Christians want others to enjoy the goodness of their God by telling people to simply accept Jesus as their Savior. Christians will have good results and no hit and miss if they share their faith under the direction of God's Spirit. In this way no one will get offended.

It really doesn't matter to me what other people believe.
I believe in helping others and non discrimination on race, creed or color.
If that makes me a bad person to anyone, I can handle it.
I'm also against hate for religious reasons.
If any of this offends you, please feel free to hate me.
