So, i'm going to hell anyway, right?
So could the religious please let me live my 'sinful life' in peace. Why try and rob me of my only time to excell?
This is the only time i will have to pleasure myself according to your 'beliefs' so why can't you let me enjoy my 'only' time and wait 'silently' for your so-called afterlife?

It is because people are ignorant...uneducated. In most cases, religion is "forced" upon people by their families, schools, and society. As I got into my teens, I educated myself upon cultures and beliefs (and continue to do so now). I grew up in a Christian household. I backed off and looked at the world from a different point of view, one without a bias eye. It was a lot different. I looked into other religions and came upon Buddhism. I like it because it was...ME! I learned to be happier, more caring...myself. I seen and felt a difference in myself.
I don't pressure people with my beliefs or believe that other religions and beliefs are bad, evil, or sinful. Everyone has the right to believe what they want! Be you, not what other people want you to be!!!
Who's beliefs are you referring to anyways? I know it can't be mine! :)

It should not be discrimination but consideration. This life is but a moment compared to all there is and those that care enough risk scorn to share this Truth w/you. BTW Xtians can't condemn you but we will all be judged by God. There is not anything in this life worth an eternity away from all goodness.

Religion is a game played by man to make himself equal to that of God. He makes rules that he can't keep himself but holes others up to them. He uses his rules to keep out those he doesn't want and allow in only those he wants. Religion is not always the same as faith.
What we see of Islam is not very good. We see people who claim the faith, murdering people on wholsale levels and on one from Islam will come out and speak against it.
Muslims will murder, Jews, Christians and other Muslims in the name of religion. Yet Islam claims Moses as a prophet, so islam must also claim the 10 Commandments also. Yet breaking them means nothing. In fact by the faith they claim that murdering the innocent will earn them a way in to heaven.
But is that what will save the soul?
Are you a good person? What a question, most of us believe that we are good people because we can look around and find someone that is far worse than we are. We can always point to the things that we think make us a good person.
But how good are we really? Dare we take this test and look at ourselves and see if we really are good? Hmmm.
If you are willing try this and see just how good a person you are.
The Good Person Test.
How will you do? Pass or fail?
Have you ever told a lie?
Doesn't matter how big or small, just a lie.
What does that make you? Before answering think about this, if I told you a lie what would you call me? A liar?
Have you ever stolen anything? Cost doesn't matter, a piece of gum, failed to give back an ink pen that you borrowed, anything.
What does that make you?
Jesus said, "You know the saying of old, you shall not commit adultery but I say that if look at someone to lust after them you have committed adultery in your heart.
Have you ever lusted?
Jesus said that hate is equal to murder.
Have you ever hated anyone?
See one day we all are going to stand before a Holy God on Judgment Day and he is going to judge us based on His Holy Law, the Ten Commandments. These are just 4 of them and how did you do? Guilty? I have broken all of these and more, what about you? How well will you do on Judgment Day?
If we break just one point of God's Law we are guilty of breaking all the law and Gods Wrath abides upon us all. Based on God's Law we are all guilty and all are deserving of punishment. But there is an out for us.
Jesus paid the price for each one of us, took on himself God's Wrath so we wouldn't have to face it on our own. Jesus was beaten, battered, bleed and died so we wouldn't have to face God's Wrath. He rose again so that we would life in his presence. Our crimes, His payment.
The real question is where will you stand on Judgment Day. Pay yourself or have it paid for you. Think about it.

people seem to discriminate against anything that they do not understand, whether it is religious belief or lack thereof.
race, political beliefs, or any other thing they do not understand.
