and since you could say that your faith is your opinion,why do people who tend to fall back on"its my opinion and Im entitled to have it" try and attack my faith/opinion and deny me my "right to my own opinion"?

you see,I am religious...but I dont throw it at people...but if I do make a statement,its my belief..so why attack me..I havenet attacked your belief...its two different opinions being made clear,but not open for debate...I have no need or desire to "convince" you of anything..I really dont care what you believe..just dont attack me and then say"its my opinion and I have a right to ti"..thats a chicken way to hide behind a lack of reason

gandamack2....your faith, is a finality of all your opinions, about everything. and should be the result of every opinion you have, which would be thousands upon thousands. most people who argue well that's my opinion are throwing pebbles at mountains, they are arguing about the smallest of detail without ever seeing the whole, and you will never hold their interest long enough to explain, they will be too busy with useless information, like music, movie stars, and who they are dating, and who did what. this type person will never invest the time necessary to understand. If you have, then take their disagreements for what they are worth and continue to search for the truth. For it can be found in the strangest places.

Most people dont see religion as an "opinion" they see it as truth as fact.
By denying their "truth" you are denying everything, you're denying life.
They have the right to question you, and you have the right to question them. I wish that all religious disagreements were settled with just questions, but thats often not the case... They are usually settled over blood.
From my expierences, I have learned to not get offended when people attack my religion because they can attack your religion and they can question it but they can NEVER take your faith away.
Just listen their questions...turn the other cheek and keep your faith despite everyone.

Your effort to evengelize is recorded in heaven & so is their rejection. More christians should be out there fulfil;ing the great comission, because so long as we are still here on earth that means there are lost sheep to be found so you just keep on searching. Disregard the mockers & let the rivers of living waters flow. [Read psalm one] Peace & love

If you enter the freeway going the wrong way, what good will your opinion do you?
If your opinion will land you in Hell, should I just let you believe as you wish, or should I warn you of what's ahead? Even if it's my 'opinion', don't I have a responsibility to let you know of the possibility?

I don't do that.
However, it is not cool for you to attack others' opinions and mock them for believing. Show a little respect.
I give it to you. Can you not do the same?

I agree with you, pity that some of the religious nutcases in here didn't just keep it to themselves, other than reporting people etc who have every right to their own opinion...

Because believers tend to consider their opinions to be absolute, unassailable fact (despite the lack of any legitimate evidence). And if your opinion differs, it's at best foolishness and at worst the work of Satan. It's a tasty little cocktail of ignorance, arrogance and self-delusion.

The minute you try to force your opinion on others, or claim that your opinion is a fact, or is based on fact, then it is open to criticism.

it is your opinion and you have a right to have your opinion, but also other ppl have the right to state their opinion whether you like it or not, you can change your opinion or keep it he same, but only you chose that no one can force you to do anything
