I like the color red, if you don't, I don't care...it feels like the same thing to me.
Believe, like...what's the difference and why does it matter?

Good Morning, Unfortunately religion does not define each person. The very lack of religion defines a lot of people. Religion only defines who, religious people are. Non religions people are defined by the philosophy of life they have assumed. I know a man who hunts as often as he has a chance. He eats food he has hunted, his house is full of hunting trophies, he even has a bear skin rug in his den. He only watches hunting programs on TV and when he is not hunting, he is talking about it. He is not a religious person. He is defined by the number one activity in his life, hunting.
I on the other hand, am a Christian. My life is defined by my Christianity. I wake up in the morning and I have prayer, I pray before I eat, and many times during the day. I spend some time in my Bible, I am defined by Christianity. I like the color red also.
What difference does it make. All the difference in the world.
Without Jesus Christ, I know where I would be, and I don't ever want to go back there again.

"You like Red" - this automatically implies that you don't like rest of the color. Existence of Red is based upon other colors. What if everything is Red in this Universe? So moral is that diversity is the law of nature, whereas division (likes and dislikes) is caused by stinking mind.
Sp religion tell us that how narrow and stale a person is and nothing more than that!

The reason it feels like the same thing to you and a different thing to…er…other people here is that you find no value in religion. People who’ve been indoctrinated all their lives find value and identity in religion because they’ve never been allowed to find such things anywhere else.
Wondertwin powers, activate!
Form of, an atheist!
Shape of, freedom!
I’m totally fine.
Really, though – it’s just perspective, I guess…perspective and their inability to respect us for our beliefs.

It is the core you base your entire life on, it is not just a preference like 'favorite color.'. A person lives their life according to their religion, it is essentially WHO THEY ARE. WWJD = the question every christian should ask themselves before doing ANYTHING.
