Answer 1

That depends on the way you are being insulted/bashed. Lets take this forum for example, if someone slanders your belief here on this forum such as muslim or atheist saying something against your faith that is not true then "matter-of-fact" rebuttle is the way to go, there is no need to be emotional. Just provide the correct information so that anyway who reads the thread will get both sides and not be mislead. If it's something like the individuals who post random harassing questions here then report them and dont' worry about it. If it's in your day-to-day life and someone personally attacks your for you belief wanting nothing more than to harm you and completely unreceptive to anything you have to say then forgive them, out loud if you feel comfortable, and "turn the other cheek" it all depends upon the spirit of the attack

Answer 2

There are two types of arguments about religion - I get involved in both.

The first is intellectual, respectful, but uncomprimising. You have to think and you have to come up with decent evidence of your viewpoint. If you've lost points in one of these, just take it on the chin - some you win...

The second is an all out gobshitey slurfest. There are two ways to deal with a proper insult - either be mature and "the bigger person" - or have some fun and let rip. Of course, if you're very religious, this is probably going to upset the God(s) you worship, so you might have to stick with the "turn the other cheek" bit. This is the advantage of being an atheist - I can be as vulgar as I like - and I like filth!

Answer 3

I don't worry about what others say about my beliefs. Honestly, I think it's silly to get upset over what other people say, especially about things like Religion.

I respect everyone's right to believe as they want. I respect their right to their opinion about my personal beliefs. But show disrespect to other people and I won't show any respect.

The only time eye for an eye works is when it is downright self-defense....... And even then it doesn't always work. Turning the other cheek works to a point... no one is saying one should be a door mat by saying "Turn the other cheek". That's merely a way of saying to not allow EVERYTHING said to get to you. You'll end up very bitter and paranoid if you worry about what other people think or say about you.

Answer 4

If someone bashed or insulted my beliefs, then I would turn around without saying anything to the antagonist, smile and leave their company.
Sometimes silence speaks louder than words.
As a rule, I never speak of my beliefs to other people of different religions, for they are usually fettered by dogmatism, Pagans, I have found, tend to be a section of society with personal beliefs, yet are still open minded to engage in Metaphysical speculation.
Atheists generally are good for political and scientific debates, yet anyone who insults another person for their beliefs (or non-beliefs), are just not worth any consideration since they lack the basis of good manners.

Answer 5

When i was a child i went to church twice a day on Sundays and a religious school during the week. As i grew up and began to notice the world around me i found it wasn't quite what i expected it to be. As a result of many years of life experience i have decided that any religion is only as strong as it's followers and those followers if they truly believed in their religion would not commit the murderous outrages that some do. Because of some of these so called RELIGIOUS ACTS taking place around the world, surely it can only prove there is no true religion , people believe in what they choose to believe in.

Answer 6

Since I know my religion is true ,I cant feel insulted or offended if someone bash my religion ,I will explain them nicely about my religion and show them evidence that they are wrong ,if they continue despite all the evidences that Ill know for sure they have been deceived about my religion I will simply walk away and pray for them . To be offended comes from devol . The cartoons skandal didnt helped muslims to gains more respect for islam . It only showed that cartoons had right ,that islam is indeed a violent ( easy offendeing ) religion

Answer 7

A well thought out and rationally delivered defense of your beliefs is the only kind that has a prayer (pardon the pun) of being heard. If you are irrational, rude, loud, etc., the noise of your voice may be heard but the content of your message will not. Be a good role model for whatever you believe. Walk the walk and people are more willing to listen to you talk the talk.

Answer 8

To be honest people have been bashing and insulting Witches for a long time, we used to be burnt at the stake or drowned. I've got used to it. Anybody who has little enough on their mind that they feel thay have to insult what I believe in in a very sad person indeed and deserves my pity, not my hatred. I would say that they were entitled to their beliefs, just as I am entitled to mine. Then I would walk away.

Answer 9

The first reaction I would have would be to examine my beliefs. Anything else would be irrational. The scientific method is based on the challenging of ones assumptions. When someone challenges your beliefs they are doing you a favor, providing you with free quality assurance. You then need to honestly examine your beliefs and see if they are correct or if you are. If your beliefs turn out to be wrong, as so many beliefs are, the sooner you can determine it the better.

Answer 10

It would depend on their attitude. If they weren't willing to hear my polite and Biblically supported defense of my faith, I'd walk away. They're certainly entitled to their opinions. As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I've experienced this numerous times and as an imperfect human there have been plenty of times I would have loved to have let someone have it, but as a Christian I am bound to Christ's standards so I have to follow the scriptural advice to be peaceable with all men, to turn the other cheek, to dust off my shoes and move along...so that's what I do.
