Are you accepting of other people's religion?

Question

Or do you believe that they will all go to Hell for not having the same God as you?

Answer 1

I respect their choice as an individual, but I feel they will go to hell for not accepting Jesus. This is my belief because it is taught as such in the Bible. I am being honest. I know others of different faiths would feel the same about me. Read the Koran, for example. To them I am going to hell. Look at how they bash Jews and Christians in their "holy book."

Answer 2

I have no issues with people because of their personal beliefs. If they choose to worship a turnip, I do not really care. I do have issues with the way some people act on their beliefs. Anything that one may say is being done in some god's name is arrogance, plain and simple. If you are to believe in a god, and you believe that you know what is in your god's mind, and you believe that your god is vastly superior to you, then claiming to know what your god wants can only be described as delusional in my opinion.
As far as how people see other religions; if they believe that their religion is the only true religion, I would ask them how they could possibly know such a thing. Just because you were told something doesn't make it true. What makes everyone that is not practicing your religion wrong? In my experience, those most intolerant and closed-minded tend to be those that have a deep faith in their particular religion.

Personally, I am a nontheist, but I have never had any issues with attending my friends' weddings just because they are Catholic (although I think they are a bit long) or a Methodist. My brother in-law is a young-earth creationist, a view that I find impossible to accept, but I have no issues with him (although, I learned not to talk about the issue around him).

Answer 3

I am accepting of all religions and faiths. If you believe it to be true and it helps give your life meaning and fulfilment, how can it be denied? What I don't accept is religion being used as a weapon against others, this is wrong. As is religion being forced upon people. If you believe in God, Allah, any goddess or deity or other spiritual existance and it makes you feel so good you want to tell others, then okay but don't try and put people down if they don't feel as strongly as you or don't believe in the things you do. The important thing is that it's good for you so rejoice in that.

"Are you accepting of other people's religion or do you believe that they will all go to Hell for not having the same God as you? - Yes, and no. Only GOD and ONLY GOD sends souls to heaven or hell (rewards or punishes) I believe GOD has everything well under control.

Answer 5

I believe we all have the same God, He is just worshiped different in other religions. I do believe the only way to Heaven is to follow the laws of God sent down in the Quran and ways of the Prophet(peace be upon him) so I do not except the other religions as true, but I do except the persons right to choose the religion they want.

Answer 6

I do not Accept "Religion" at all.
All Religions are False.

I Accept the Right (Given by GOD) for EveryBody to CHOOSE what they want to BELIEVE.

It is the Royal Law of Love.
Else, we would not have a FreeWill.

I might not Like what People Choose to Believe but as Long as their not Hurting Others or Breaking Laws so on so so...
They Have the GOD Given Right to Believe what they want to.

I Respect that RIGHT, given by GOD.

John Lawman Respects his right to Lock Up People who "Cross the Line" between Right and Wrong.

Answer 7

I am very accepting...if i werent, I would be getting in a lot of trouble b/c i am Jewish. I see how other people's intolerance and Ignorance makes me feel and i never want anyone else to feel that unless they deserve it lol

I dont think anyone goes to heaven or hell. I feel like this is the life you live and if you were a good person, then wonderful. If you were a bad person, then that sucks.

I feel like our souls are recycled over and over but we just dont know it. I feel so bad for people who try so hard to gain acceptance to get into heaven AFTER they are alive.

Some people are so vicious on here saying "SO YOU THINK JESUS WAS A LIAR? YOU HATE HIM! YOU REPEL HIM!!" and it is rediculous. IT DOESNT MAKE US FEEL BAD WHEN YOU SAY THAT =]

....No offence but i feel like a lot of the Christians on here say that their religion is the ONLY RIGHT RELIGION.....reality check?

Answer 8

I believe we personalize the aspect of religion. That in reality we describe and believe in it as a blind man looks at an elephant. It is my belief that there is only one God. That He sees the whole we are incapable of seeing. I'm not sure if I believe in Hell. I believe in good and evil. I believe good is attracted to good and evil is attracted to evil. I believe there are good people in all religions, races and cultures.

Answer 9

I'm accepting.

I think it is vital for a mature person to keep in mind that no matter how sure he is of anything, there is a chance he could be wrong.

I spent a lot of time praying and thinking and studying and exploring to establish my faith the way it is now. I know there are others in the world who have come to different conclusions about the nature of faith and so have different religions.

I'm fairly secure in mine, but I always remember that they are too. So I respect them and expect them to respect me in the same way.

This is why I get so flustered with fundamentalists -- not only are their minds so completely closed that no Light of God can shine in, but they do not respect the religious/spiritual beliefs of others.

It is not my place to speculate on who might be headed for hell and who isn't, but I'd place my bets pretty confidently on the haters.

Answer 10

No. I come from a mixed religious background. I have Catholic, Christian and Adventist beliefs in my background. Look most all religions believe in God, whether he goes by the name of God, Allah, Jesus, wehatever. I can accept that. I am accepting of all religiions as long as they don't say to kill others in their god's name or worship the devil.
