Should we section people who believe in God?

Answer 1

Why would you do that? Yes there are radicals who think they're doing God's work, when they're actually hurting people. But the majority of Christians are normal people. Sectioning them would be just like what Hitler did. Are you trying to become the next Hitler!?

Answer 2

Belief in a god or gods on its own does not in most cases make a person a threat to themselves or others. the law on sectioning people relates to this matter, you could not section a person just for believing in a god or gods, that in itself is not enough. It would also be impractical, as there are so many people who have religious beliefs. I do not have a religious axe to grind, as I am an atheist, and am quite sure that there are no gods of any kind. I would however consider it a infringement of human rights to section someone for having a belief in a god or gods.

Answer 3

Yeah,,,, maybe that's a good idea,,,, put them in a non-smoking section, non-drinking section, kind and responsible section, scared to do sin as much as possible section or maybe in a church section wherein they can do praying for all the people including others who don't believe to have a better and peaceful earth life,,,,,,, I'm not saying non believers are all bad,,,, I'm just saying mostly god fearing people are people with less vices and less evil sort of lifestyle,,,, u know what i mean,,,, I'm a believer,,,,, I'm also a sinner,,,,, but i dont discriminate anybody,,,,,, its a big world,,,,,loving and understanding each other wont hurt,,,, isn't it? ,,,, God Bless my friend :-)

Answer 4

Doesn't this come under the right to freedom of expression?
What I wish is that those who believe in God should not force their beliefs on others. Likewise, those who do not should tolerate the rights of the believers. The world might be a happier place.

Answer 5

I say hang 'em!
Nono, i'm just kidding!!!

Faith is important for a lot of people. I think it's safer for those people (sorry for the rude generalization) to believe in God than in some kind of unreal ideal, since the latter type of believers wouldn't be at all predictable. Religion learns a lot about responsibility, in contrast to (other) abstract ideals like 'scientific progress', 'liberalism', 'capitalism'...

Answer 6

Yes. Those who believe in God, section them in heaven. Those who don't believe, section them in hell. Simple!

Answer 7

No. People cannot choose belief. Here is the proof - choose now to belief you are not reading this.

Our believes come from our life and learning. They are what makes sense to us, they make up our fundamental personality.

Now, what you do with those beliefs is a different matter, and that's where sectioning and jail are applicable.

Answer 8

Sectioned off?
Charming.
Wouldn't that leave only a small population wandering about by themselves. And what would they do without all the doctors, police, plumbers, builders, business men ecetera ecetera who believed in a god?
They'd be rather f***ed wouldn't they.

Answer 9

Cracking question!!!

The answer is complex ... if someone holds the belief that an omniscient, omnipresent and, ultimately, intangible being controls what is happening and chooses either to intervene or not with our affairs, then he/she could be classed as delusional...

.... it is not essential, however, to section that individual unless he/she poses a threat to either themself or others.

Logical thought on the nature of "faith" tends to highlight the somewhat preposterous nature of religious conviction.. but this can be balanced against the impossibility of disproval.

I have often found myself to be marginalised as a result of my atheistic beliefs - this strikes me as being completely contrary to reason!!
