Would you rather see someone find there they were comfortable religiously or embrace your belief system?

Question

Explain:

Answer 1

I would rather that folks realize that they alone are responsible for "climbing the mountain", their spiritual path.
While folks may choose the same religion, each person is responsible for their own comfort in it, and if they are not comfortable, maybe they are not on the right path.

Answer 2

Would I rather see someone find there they.......what??
Your sentence makes no sense, I can't really tell what you're asking.

Maybe you are asking "Would you rather see someone find that they are comfortable religiously or would you rather see someone embrace your belief system?"

I'll take a shot that this is what you're asking.

I'm happy if they're happy. As long as they didn't try to convert me to whatever religion it is that they're comfortable with.

I don't want anyone to embrace my belief system. I'm jewish, and we don't believe anyone has to become Jewish or go to hell or anything like that. We believe that all peoples of all nations have a place in the world to come by following the life path of the 7 Noahide Laws:
1. Do not steal
2. Do not murder
3. Do not commit idolatry
4. Do not commit adultery
5. Do not curse God
6. Do not tear the limb from a living animal to eat it (no cruelty to animals)
7. Do establish courts in order to have a fair and just society for all.

Jews don't proselytize, we don't seek converts. This is because it's very difficult being a Jew, we are constantly under threat of different peoples wanting to wipe us out, and have been subjected to hundreds of thousands of pogroms and of course the Holocaust, etc. We don't want anyone to have to go through that.

So we don't seek converts, and if anyone WANTS to convert we make real sure that they understand that this is the kind of thing they are in for. Most people convert either because they are interested in marrying someone Jewish. Or, as happens sometimes, a person born into a non-Jewish family will suddenly one day feel like their soul has "woken up" and that they absolutely MUST convert to Judaism, their Jewish soul has woke up and it will not rest until the person converts. It's very strong.

But we don't go out looking for converts to bring in, because there is no reason to, nobody has to become Jewish in order to have a place in the World To Come. We are glad to see other peoples comfortable in their religion as long as it doesn't involve attempts at converting us or wiping us off the face of the map. And as long as it does involve following the 7 Noahide Laws, which almost all religions do contain.

Answer 3

Everyone should find their own comfort level within their own beliefs. I don't care that people don't believe the same as I do because what I am is not what they are - we are all unique and therefore 'blanket belief' just does not work. Even within a belief not everyone believes in quite the same way. People just need to do what fits them best.

Answer 4

I would rather someone find what made them happy.

I just don't believe in preaching to anyone. If they see something in the way I live and like it, that's cool.
If they ask, I'll tell them.


Everyone has his or her belief system. I respect that. I won't try to change anyone...I love people the way they are.

(just got hate mail this morning for not proseltyzing)

Answer 5

I would rather someone find comfort in their own religious beliefs....whatever they are.

I'm an Atheist....but that's what works for me.

Answer 6

I only want someone to embrace my (religious) belief system if they truly and honestly believe and profess all that the holy Catholic Church believes, teaches, and proclaims to be revealed by God.

We already have too many people inside the Church who DON'T; we don't need any more. Those who are trying to dismantle Catholicism from the inside are far more dangerous than those trying to dismantle it from the outside.

Answer 7

Everyone is soooo serious! As for me, I'd like to see all people follow my beliefs, but that's just because I'm a jealous rat bast#@d and I want everyone to worship me!

Ummm..........wait there's already a "God" like that. Guess I'll have to find another gig. Damn.

Answer 8

One can be very comfortable in Satanism and still be totally lost, on the way to hell.

I believe and I think it's logical to believe there is an ultimate truth. And if one does not follow this truth they have no hope for salvation after death.

Answer 9

They need to accept whatever belief system they are going to hold to...and keep their yapper shut about it...I don't want to know and I'm not going to preach mine at them either...

Answer 10

That depends. If their comfort means that they HAVE to bother me about it, I would rather they find something else.
