Often, I've found people tend to believe an organization with diverse views about a certain topic is not a unified organization in vision.  Why is that?

Uniformity can be downright boring. Its always better for an organization to HAVE a broader point of view than to have a much narrower one. It makes the meetings so much more entertaining and it gives the members something to discuss over potluck.

To those who want to believe in it it has been unfolding for thousands of years.\n\nOther people chose not to pay much attention to these kinds of things and just try to do the best that they can to make the world as nice a place as they can for those that they meet.\n\nOne group sees themselves as superior and about to get their heavenly reward for this superiority.\n\nThe other follows the teachings of Jesus and sees everyone as a brother deserving of love.\n\nYou need to decide which idea makes the most sense to you and live it.\n\nLove and blessings Don

My guess would be that since they're a rather controversial organization, they would prefer to be a bit anonymous to the masses.  You can probably get that information if you're a member.  They're funded by donations.

It reads to me as though someone at the top of your company is trying to make a point and engender anger against anyone non-Christian.  If you work for the government, then it makes sense to me that there should be no outward displays that would lead someone to believe the government prefers one religion over another, or religious people over non-religious ones.  If you work in the private sector, then it's a matter of company policy.  Allowing, or insisting that, a menorah be displayed and not a Christmas tree isn't fair and sounds very fishy.\n\nMarty K is wrong about liberals being in favor of this kind of disparity.  I know of no political liberals, or any fair-minded person, secular or religious, who would consider such a situation fair.

It is called different things in many books and the such, but they all boil down to one basic idea.\n\nYou should look at a problem from many different perspectives to find the best solution.\n\nSometimes you look from other people's perspective, other times the book (or module) will outline the different points of view and you use those to look at a given problem or situation.\n\nGood Luck

Some would have you believe it's based on honor and country, maybe so.\n\nSome would have you believe it's for money, benefits, and higher eduction, maybe so.\n\nSome would have you believe it's because they are retarded, especially since they are joining up during war time, maybe so.\n\nBut maybe they are all wrong.\n\nAsk the person you love why they joined to find out the real reason.

Yes, the concept is illusion, you need action to make it real.  And some concepts are fallacious; you can understand it but it is not truth.  Others concepts may be truth for some but not for you.   For example, if it goes against your basic values.   Imagine a capitalist trying to live as a socialist, for lack of a better example.

Different people have different ambitions and they are not always in sync with that of organization, hence all these problems. Basically people are plain stupid, simple.

Not completely. One should never trust only ONE source of information. They may not have every fact on the subject and a single view can be biased. Try a few different sources and get a more well rounded take on it.

In some ways that is a problem.  But in reality ti goes:\n\nI believe in _____________so I must be a ____________.\n\nParties form around a core of beliefs, their platform.  If the members of the party feel that the platform isn't right for them, they change parties.

I will be following this very closely, as this question is incredably nessisary to ask. Strange that is should be asked however, since we are all human beings. No one is less than anyone else. Why do we have these ideas that people can push others around or away because of ones subjective belief of right or wrong? Well said Asker.

People DON'T want answers. \nThey DON'T want different points of view. \nThey ONLY want people who agree with their shallow, narrow minded, bigoted, unenlightened ideas and views.\nThat's just the way it is.

People like to be surrounded by the familiar.  When they encounter someone who doesn't act/look/believe what they are used to, they often fear it.  Most people get over this, realizing that different points of view is what make the world great, but some others just don't want to accept that there's a larger world beyond their own.

When considering a viewpoint, I want to first know the other side and so I agree  with you on that, what I think happens is that if your opinions are to one sided they may be a symptom of not fully understanding the sociological, cultural and political "peace" \nthat is not found in the extreme poles of the other, I think there is no safe zone or a perfect sense of things only a neutral zone whereby one understands the meaninglessness of controversy.\n\nSimple psychology I think plays a big part in life it is profoundly ironic that few acquire this virtue of none being. This most simple of human trait is the reason ignorants persists in human nature.

There's a lot of truth in that, pangel. There are conflicting views and beliefs regarding just about everything, but at some point, ideology and worship of some leader or another takes over and drowns out all reason. Most of the time, that ideology is religion.

Often, it's not what the person wants to hear.  Rather than look at the big picture, some people are content to view their own limited perspectives, so hearing something that contradicts their points of view tends to threaten them.

I'm not concerned about their beliefs so much as what they actually do.  I've come to this conclusion because there seems to be a rather large discrepancy between what they say they believe and what they actually do.
