Do you think you can convert the world to your belief system?

Question

Why or why not?

If you think you should try, but know you can't, does it make you angry? Should the non-believers be put to death? Should they lose rights?

If you welcome differences and don't care what people believe as long as they don't interfere with your system, why do you feel this way?

YOU'RE ALL WRONG!!!

Naw...I'm just playing. Actually, I'm amazed at the answers!! Usually the religion section is far more judgemental and hatefull. What happened to you guys...did someone scramble your brains with a fork? Did you take your nice pills this morning?

oops...hatefull only has one "l"...Wheeeeee!!!!!

Answer 1

I would love to teach the world that sexual orientation is not a choice. That God does not care who we have sex with. I would love for the world to believe that there are many roads to God. He does not care which road you take, or if you take no road. Most souls cross over, there is no hell.

Answer 2

I believe each person has the inalienable right to pursue happiness in his own way, so long as he harms no one else. I believe that faith should never be compelled. It is a personal matter, a matter of conscience.

The why is simple and two-fold.

1) I desire to be free to make up my own mind about matters religious and philosophical, so, by the Golden Rule, I would never try to interfere with the freedom of others to do the same. It's a simple matter of fair play.

2) Diversity is a great asset to humanity. From a diversity of viewpoints come possibilities we may never have thought of ourselves or which never would have come to light if everyone thought and acted exactly alike. Diversity may save humanity one day. It's a given that it will make us better.

Answer 3

I do not think you can convert the world to your belief system because You just cant go to another religion and tell them it is false and forcefully convert them. Why should non-believers be put to death, that means killing all who are not with you(Nazi stuff). Should they lose rights, your inhumane. Why do I want everyone to follow me just because Im supposedly correct, thats basically the same as Hitler wanting to wipe the world of non pure races because He believes by divine right that he is right. Do you really believe all this? Your a nut, if so!

Answer 4

I don't want the whole world following my belief system - mob mentality never did much good for religion. Religion is deeply personal and there's no way any two people will ever have exactly the same belief, even within the same religious framework. And frankly, I've seen what the Christians have done to their religion - I don't want them ruining mine.

Answer 5

I don't have a "belief system," I live by reason, logic, and rationality. I go by evidence, not superstition.

I do have confidence that as human knowledge continues to grow, eventually these superstitious belief systems will die out as they are proven incorrect over and over again. It may not be in my lifetime, but I'm confident it will eventually happen.
No need to convert anyone to anything, just let the superstitious dinosaurs die out along with their inane beliefs.

Answer 6

I don't have any Messianic Complex, if that's what you are implying, and I have no aspirations to convert the world to my belief system at all.

However I stand ready to respond to those who are inquisitive and serious enough to consider the reasons behind why I took the path that I did, leading up to my present Faith, and to defend my personal beliefs.

For instance, I believe that "Faith is not the opposite of reason. It is in fact the fullness and blossoming of reason," as one was quoted to have said...

Peace be with you.

Answer 7

I know that everyone will not believe what I believe. I have to accept that as fact. Its unrealistic to think that that everyone could believe the same thing in such a diverse society.
I will talk to people if they permit me to share my beliefs, .....if not, I don't push the subject. There is no anger or animosity toward that person.

Answer 8

I can't and won't. It doesn't make me angry. Eventually everyone will know that Jehovah is the Sovereign of the Universe because he, as our Creator, has the right to be. What they do with that knowledge is up to them and I leave it up to Him to decide what to do about it. In the meantime, I just do what I can to fulfill my end of the bargain when it comes to Jesus' command at Matthew 28:19,20.

It doesn't make me angry that others don't believe what I believe. We all have free will, intelligence and our own experiences to base our beliefs on. It doesn't mean I AGREE with them, but I respect others' rights.

Answer 9

The people of the world are very varied. And for this reason, there are so many different spiritual paths. I don't think one religion would work for everyone. And I think that's a good thing.

Answer 10

I think I can Try to help all people come to the right path of Allah through the help from Allah.
Islam has a messege of peace , love , equality and justice.
The way it works is that we invite people to our religion and try to answer the questions they have about islam. if they choose islam they become brothers and sisters . if they don't we keep trying and trying cause we love all humans and want them to go to heaven by the well of Allah

Answer 11

i think the world's philosophy on religion should be live and let live. I think that people coming from different perspectives allow us to broaden our horizons and make more well rounded decisions. I like open discussions on religion and spirituality, but when things become you should believe _____ because ______, then I get a little agitated because if we wanted to know we would ask.
