to anyone who's religious, agnostic, atheistic, monotheistic or anyone else i've forgotten to mention ... do you give the benefit of the doubt to other beliefs or belief systems? for example, atheists, do you think there MAY be a god but its just something you can't bring yourself to believe? religious people, do you think god MAY not exist, but its a fact you can't relate to?

Excellent question [m], I am agnostic with a leaning on the Athiest side. I believe it is tolerance for peoples views on their own beliefs, rather than giving the benefit of the doubt. We are all raised differently and therefore we all believe differently. I personally don't believe in a supreme being although I do admire and respect the different views of others from whichever walk of life they come from. I will become religious or athiest when I have proof either way.

I always listen to what is asked and think about my answers. If anybody does say anything
I have serioiusly considered whether there is a god or not, but I have been an atheist for over 20 years and haven't seen any arguments for his existence that are at all convincing. So, my "benefit of the doubt" has been pretty much used up by now. However, I am constantly learning about the human condition and why people believe what they do.

hi.. The which means of the idiom "income of the doubt" - a beneficial judgment granted interior the absence of finished evidence. assume you have faith some issues whilst some one is recruiting you for an remote places task, they lay various circumstances & you improve various risk factors( called doubts to be clarrified), in certainly one of those case, the HR will approve some with slightly success & some as consistent with risk "definite" or may well be "No". For such factors she would be able to apply the sentence " i'm very pleased to grant you the income of the doubt on the 1st one extremely than the 2d." which means : whilst elevating your risks/doubts, on your 1st element there may well be a transformation interior the final minute that may impact you & by using offering you with the income of the doubt, that is going to turn effective to you. however the 2d element you have raised is a sparkling NO or a definite... desire i cleared your doubt:-)

The problem is, if I were to give the benefit of the doubt to one religion, then I'd have to do the same for countless other nonsensical ideas and belief systems, and life is just too short!

To each country its own.
Chinese are taoists, Indians are Buddhists, Italians are Christians, Native Americans have their own stuff (I do not have a name for it), Arabics have Islam, etc.
What bugs me is when people try to IMPOSE their beliefs on others and look down of those who do not share theirs.
To me, all religions are okay as long as you follow your inner guts. I do not loose sleep over what others think, really, because I know I am doing what is right for me - and the world.

But religion does not mean the service of God at the expense of our neighbors. The greater ones love of God, the greater and truer will be his love of his neighbors, and I mean I believe that believe what they think is to be true, and we all should embrace the fact that they believe, something that seems to be positive to them.

yes i think God may exist. i think god did exist to a certain level , but my perception of god isnt a being .
and if there's god , i am seriously pretty sure he control and know and love us as much as we control , know and love our children as much.
i am also pretty sure if there's god , he didnt create hell to burn us ETERNALLY for a lifetime of sin.
somehow i don;t thihnk he's that omnipotent. he just appeared to be .
man , seriously people say i was given free will and i choose to go hell. heck , i wasnt even given the free will to choose whether i wan to have free will or not.

In order to give the benefit of the doubt would require that I have some doubt. But I have no doubt that these ridiculous stories are fiction.

Simple, a person should not base their life around something that cannot be proven to even exist. So the answer is no.
