R&S is getting pretty venomous again?

Question

Time for some make-nice. Take a minute to say something nice about another religion. Do not say something nice about another faction of YOUR OWN religion i.e baptists, pentecostals. Dont bash another religion (I never use the report button, but in this instance i will) It may be helpfull to state your own faith

I'll go first.
I'm Pagan- I admire the passion wit which Islamics approach their faith, and the way it's a part of everything they do

Answer 1

I think the Pagans here are way more respectful to other's beliefs than any of the other religious folks on here... aside of the Buddhists who are really cool, and the vast majority of the Muslims who just look for answers and don't always try to get into the games... ****! I can't even think of a problem with the Jews (even though I rarely see them here)...

As far as the Christians... well they're here too.

Answer 2

As a Pagan Puppy I love everyone, even the the ones with the snaky poisonious over bite.

But in reality each one of us needs to help those within our own religions or non-religious groups to learn compassion for other people's beliefs. As a Pagan and a human I know what I believe and no amount of negativity from another is going to make me see their light. It is nice to know that Christians have such a strong faith and it is their whole life, but you tend to think that everyone is Christian and that we are deluding ourselves by claiming to believe in something other than you. I never have been a Christian since I wasn't raised that way, but my parents made it clear that religion was our choice. I was Pagan then and I am Pagan now. Thank you for your concern for my after-life, but this is that Free Will that your religion always speaks about. I like the idea of making nice!

My icon wants out, Ta!

Answer 3

I can't be nice about a religion because that is to presume consistency among its members or teachings. Religion is by definition beyond redemption as far as I'm concerned. It is quite sufficient for me that I know many people of many different beliefs that I like and admire for who they are. I know delightful, generous Christians, humorous and witty Muslims, brilliant pagans, and many others. It's also true that I know atheists I'd cross the road to avoid. Religions are not the place to find good people. Humanity does that perfectly well without religions.

Answer 4

I'm agnostic and I admire the peaceful aspects of some of the eastern religions (Buddhism). This is possibly due to the fact that a lot of these religions are more rooted in an individual philosophy than a communal faith.

Answer 5

Yeah, I have to admit that I'm a bit pissy today. Not insulting anyone, but a little "nicey nicey" time isn't a bad idea.

I am fascinated by the rich culture and religion of Judaism. They have such beautiful symbols and rituals and seem to be in touch with their own history.

I don't know much about the pagan religions themselves, but most of the pagans I have met are people who are open to ideas and all about spreading good in the world. We need more of that.

I admire Muslim women who choose to wear a head scarf (or is it called a veil) despite current cultural biases. You go, girls!

Answer 6

I am a Christian who is able to respect all human beings,while not necessarily endorsing all faiths or beliefs.

I appreciate the sense of community among the Mormons and their priority on family values

I respect the boldness and shameless perseverance of the followers of the Watchtower Bible and Tract society.(J.W.)

I (as a very silly boy myself) love the humor that those of the Atheist camp often display.

I most of all am amazed at the sense of global community in R&S, when we do occasionally gather together, in prayer,sympathy and genuine concern for a fellow R&S member who is experiencing serious health challenges or grieving in unison for one who has passed from us.


At our core level,we are human beings and as such,are in this together.

Answer 7

I'm Christian - I admire the critical thinking abilities of some atheists, and that they keep my on my toes and challenge my beliefs. Life would be no fun if everyone believed the same thing.

I also really admire the respect that pagans have for life and for the earth.

Answer 8

I went with the aid of a great Strokes section some years in the past. I nonetheless like them, yet they seem to be a strategies from favorites. BQ: Juicebox, Razorblade (so satirically emo lol), on the different area, Reptilia and night solar are my favorites. BQ2: Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Rage against the device, pink warm Chili Peppers, little doubt, 9 Inch Nails, Blind Melon, Nirvana, the Rolling Stones, the Beastie Boys, Jack Johnson, the Offspring... you assume me to be waiting to narrow this checklist down? i might say Gogol Bordello, yet although they are NYC-based, i does not unavoidably say they are from united states of america.

Answer 9

Good idea. We really should show more kindness toward other religions. I admire the Buddhist faith. They strive to become better by means of enlightenment and they are advocates of peace.

Answer 10

I admire those who are Wiccan who love nature and caring for our planet.

I also admire those who seek to leave our world a better place for what they contribute during their time on earth.

I'm a Fundamentalist Christian (and I honestly did not see the post by the person who is Wiccan until after I posted my own). Thank you!
