Do you find it weird to tell someone to their face that all religions other than yours are false?

I dont think we should have a definitive opinion on something we have not lived.\n\nThats why it feels wrong when an athiest judges a born again for believeing.  \n\nI am ok to comment on athiesm, catholic and fundy.\n\nI dont caomment on wicca, islam or hindi because I have never lived them.  Lets try to see things from another perspective than just our own shoes.  Makes the world a bigger place.\n\nI like how u think.\nBlessings\nDavid

Well, no one should make fun of you for your beliefs.  Some religious people, though, are always talking about their religion and it gets old for the people who are not religious.  It might make them uncomfortable after a point and that is when they might start making jokes.  There is nothing wrong with believing what you believe, but you also have to know that other people believe other things and we all have to learn to tolerate each other.

No, and this is one of my pet peeves. I changed my religion because my initial one felt "wrong" to me. I went searching for what felt right and I found it through my own quest. I didn't need anyone badgering me, which is how every person I met trying to convert another has come off. I hate when people try to lay their own beliefs on others.

I'm a lifelong atheist with two young children, and my wife is an agnostic with spiritual leanings. \n\nI learned from being a teacher that most people are fairly ignorant about their beliefs, and very sensitive. I discuss whatever my older (6) son wants to talk about, and I'm careful not to commit to any point of view. \n\nI do tell him, when we're discussing anything supernatural, that I don't believe in it, but that many people do. So for instance, when we're near a church, he's sometimes interested in what the building is for, and I tell him enough to satisfy his curiosity. \n\nI've actually recently been considering taking my kids to religious services of a fairly wide variety in order to give them the opportunity to compare and contrast for themselves. If they want to believe differently than I do and I repress that, they will simply resent me. \n\nI would draw the line at hate groups.

Amen. I couldn't have said it better myself, Christian here.  I believe why not let the other person believe, think what they want, I never push Religion on anyone.  If they act interested or curious, I let them lead me into the discussion.  And I try my hardest to be polite, but I do have my days, I think every one does now and then.

If You Want To Face Reality!....Yes, It's Strange!......This Is A Religious/Spiritual Site And 95% Of The People Who Log On To This Site Are Atheists, Agnostics, GOD Haters, And Folks Who Are Disrespecting, Judging, Condemning, Mocking, Rude, And Insulting The Religious/Spiritual Beliefs!!!!!...So, Yes, I Would Say That It's STRANGE TOO!.......Ps. You Have Any Ideas As To What To Do About It?...We're All Ears!....

Yes. Some people believe that when someone openly says they are a Christian, it means you are judgemental of those who aren't.

I think it is interesting to look into other beliefs.\n\nI see so many people put down other religions and they don't even bother to know the others thoughts and tenets. How is that right or fair?\nIt seems the height of arrogance to put down other religions when you truly only know what you've seen on TV. \nOpen up a book, at least!\nThen , that way, if you still have issues, at least you can make an intelligent and coherent argument.

Don't you worry about political correctness.\nIf they have something they believe they are,  "agnostic" "spiritualist" "non believer" whatever they will surely correct you.\nYou can't please everyone all the time.\nIf you say they are a non believer I think all of those you listed pretty much FIT that well, so there's nothing to worry about.

,,,,,, I believe in God ,, but at the same time , there are too many crazy religious FREAKS,, the ones that really appear crazy ... and they make us all look bad.. . I do not wish to offend them ,, that would be wrong,, but I wish that some thing would knock some good sense into them.. also show them how God really wants them to treat  '' all ''people..

I don't necessarily discard all others as truths for anyone else, just for myself.  I did a lot of studying on religions before I settled on one that was right for me in every way.  I felt disconnected to the religion I was raised in, so I began a spiritual journey that led me to the religion I am happy in today.  I hope that everyone can be as happy in their religion.

no.  everyone believes in something different when it comes to things that cannot be proven (ie monotheism/polytheism).  and you might not want to quote something from someone biased.

I guess you have not heard... that religion is confusion....\n\nWho studies everything and incorporates everything into a ball of understanding....?\n\nand I will tell you that person is confused.... \n\nThey can never ....never.... give you a clear answer......\n\n\n--Ginger

No, unless they have been told that THEIR truth is the only truth...at that point they are able to make judgements and commit acts against "WRONG" thinking types that are consistent with their belief system...this type of thinking leads to things like the crusades, 9/11, the spanish inquisition, and genocide...you see none of us is going away or changing our beliefs because someone else says we're wrong...so INTOLERANCE is the problem NOT different belief systems.

In short, most religions say that other religions are wrong. So if you really believed in one of them, you would not be able to believe in any other ones.

Yes, absolutely.  This is why I study religions and am majoring in religious studies!  There is more than one way to be human, and when you learn others' religious beliefs, you can see that very clearly.  We tend to take so many things for granted and not realize they are even "beliefs" but we assume them to be "facts."  But then when we realize that other people look at it differently, we can see that we were just taking certain things for granted and there is no reason to do that.\n\nThere is wisdom in all religions.  Why limit yourself to the wisdom of only one?
