Why do people attack other's beliefs instead of presenting their own beliefs? Is that not better?

Yes, I agree with you 100%. We should all try to respect other people's religious beliefs even if we don't agree. It is rude to get into shouting matches with others. We don't want to be argumentative. God is a peaceful person and we should strive to be the same. Peace.

they just probly want you not to follow Jesus but to follow what they believe. I as well am a Christian and i get attacked as well but instead i fight back if they're gonna attack. if not then i dont bother to attack at them.   I agree wit you on lettin everyone believe what they want cause its their life.  Its not their job to change our lives and make us believe in what they believe in.

i think people claim that their religion is the best because they believe in it, because they are convinced that this is the best way to reach God. but as long as you respect the other persons' beliefs it is not a problem. the problem arises only when you try to force the others to believe in your religion or when you harm them for being the members of a religious group. this proves that the ones who do such things are not the servants of god.

Dear,  What's good for the goose is good for the gander.  Any time I attempt to answer a question about my beliefs, it would be nice if people would be grown up enough to just say "those are your beliefs."  But instead I get reported for some bogus reason simply because I don't have the same beliefs as someone else.\nYou're lucky.  At least people are being respectful to you and your beliefs.  Maybe others could do the same.\nPeace

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.

A lot of people get touchy when they are trying to show you their truth and you make a valid or logical point that doesn't fall in line with their beliefs. They are too stubborn or too afraid to admit there may be other possibilities because they have been conditioned to believe that you are damned to hell if you question any part of their particular religious doctrine. Therefore, if you don't take their word for it even if they can't show or prove they are right, the only way they can fight you is to shut you up or get rid of you so you would have less chances to influence anyone else to question what they deem to be the ultimate truth.

Because people like to force their views on other people.

In my opinion, to enlighten and broaden your mind in understanding the other persons beliefs.....however, that doesn't always turn out that way.  Seeing different ways that a culture or person thinks, the reason why they do or say certain things.

Sometimes, when folks learn a new truth, they get real excited about going out and sharing it with others. Unfortunately some of them will ruin their credibility (and God's) by being kinda pushy about it. \nIt's kinda like giving a child a new toy. If you leave them alone with it for too long they become dangerous with it.

You say don't answer questions by attacking yet you use words like stupid. Isn't that an attack? I agree that many of us need to widen or perspective and that there are too many narrow minded people. Yet calling them stupid is hardly the way to invite them to be more open. If I make no mistake the fortress closes its doors when it is under attack.

You have a very good point, and I completely agree with you on this topic. If we try and force out beliefs down their throats we are no better than "the Bible thumper's". Religion is a group of people believing in the same thing, and faith is your own personal belief in something. That's how I see it, and I try not to debunk any ones beliefs, but I will admit there are times where I am really tempted to try. Yet it is still wrong to say that some ones religion is right and some one elses is not.\n\nBlessed Be.

I think religious beliefs are very much tied to providing answers for less educated people.  I note less educated people tend to flock to the most fundamentalist of churches, while more educated people tend to flock to the more liberal churches.  I find that fundamentalist churches say they are the only truth there is and other religions are a lie.  They teach people not to question the tenets of beliefs of their own church, but instead to learn to attack other churches.  This is not an exercise in education.  It is an exercise in intellectual prostration.

It's true, we all have our own personal beliefs, yet some tend to lean theirs onto others. They'll say it's "Freedom of Speech." How about "Freedom of Choice"?  I choose to follow my path, which may parallel with yours or go in a different direction, but I'm not going to insist mine is THE way. It's what works for us that we choose the road which to walk.

Like it or not, our lives are a defense of what we believe whether we know how to articulate it or not.  Our choices reflect our beliefs.  \n\nThe ability or inability of a person or group of people to defend their beliefs is not proof of the validity of the belief.  It simply speaks to their competence (or lack of it) as communicators.\n\nShould we be able to know and defend what we believe?  Sure.\n\nIs our ability the proof of the veracity of the belief?  No.

Very good point.  \n\nI think people become intransigent in their points of view because their POVs are being attacked.  There's little room for reasoned discussion when the first statement of an argument is "you're an idiot."

Those who attack someone for their religion are sick people, they lack the understanding of human being and the reason of them being in the universe.\nLet us assume that someone is not Christian and he doesn't like anything but his religion, if he even try to learn about Christianity it will be to find some mistakes in the religion just to prove his idea or belief.\nIf that person read the bible just because he want to learn, and to know what is it exactly, he will likely understand why Christians believe in some things, he will accept the facts that they have without turning the table on them.\nI have seen so many people who are against other religions because they did not like what the practitioners are doing.so they try to prove for everyone that this religion and the followers are stupid.\nThis is wrong, we have to work with each other to bring peace in this world, without fighting.

I agree, you can accept the views of others, it doesn't mean you need to practice what they believe.  As long as they are good people, I have no real problem with them.  It is thier choice as much as your's and mine to believe what they, you, I wish.\n\nI mean, why intentionally hurt someone?  Some people need to look up the word "tolerance" and then use it.
