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.

They conflict with my personal religion about as much as any other religion.  I admire (and agree with) the respect and oneness they feel with the earth.

nothing is wrong with it, people jus see their religion as precious and therefore unquestionable.\n\nplus religion gives people warm fuzzy feelings, anyone who would want to come and maybe take away the thing that givesd them those feelings... well theyre gonna be defensive.

Since I fit into the category of non-religious, but feel I'm more spiritual, I'll describe my feelings on it. The words to me mean that Spirituality has substance to me, but religion tends to put people against each other, always each person trying to be "Right'...it divides, doesn't unite people, in my opinion.I do believe in intelligent creation, that God created everything. God is the supreme being. I believe in the afterlife, definitely...but in the sense that we were all put here to learn to be more Christ like, and we will be judged by God someday, and those who didn't do better with what they knew at the time, will be given another opportunity to learn God's way...They won't go immediately to the so called "Hell!" God is a loving God, and wants us all to share eternity with God!\nAs for universal ethics, if you mean the Golden rule or the 10 Commandments, or just a right way of living. live and let live, etc...YES!\nThere may be more to Spirituality  being different than religion, in that I do not subscribe to an organized religion. I feel that the greatest difference for me is that I have felt the presence of God's spirit and closeness to Christ, more so, than any religion I was ever in. \nThe practical impact that my faith has on my everyday life, is that I've learned that allowing God and Jesus (to take the wheel, as it's been said) to be to be in charge of what I do, and how I think and pray, and how I learn from my experiences, and many other applications, influences the outcomes and perspectives of the kind of person I've become.\nSuch an interesting and well though out question!

Sure, I answer.  I don't have a problems with different religions.  Talk to me all you want but you still won't convince me that your way is the only and right way.

Yes of course. You should think whatever feels best to you. I do believe God is happy that everyone is worshiping Him no matter which religion they choose. I personally like to take a little taste from everything available at the religion buffet.

It seems that some people from all different faiths feel that if they belong to that faith (even loosely) it gives them the right to jump on a soapbox and tell the world that what they believe is the only way to go and if you don't believe it you'll go to an undesirable place.  \n\nI understand and appreciate what you're saying and you're free to believe as you wish.  It's the "others" that try to force their beliefs on you that drive most people crazy.  We're free to believe what we'd like to too.  You're right, you can't save anyone's soul.....wish other people would get that and worry about their own souls.

I get Islamic people preaching the Qur'an to me all the time. I have many faith groups trying to convert me. I know my beleifs and  Thats all that matters.\n\nI wouldn't care if I saw a billboard for Buddhism or any religion. You don't have to pay attention to the media if you don't want to.\n\nI'll bet they have many billboards about Buddhism in countries that are mainly Buddhist.

Not me, I am not completely without faith but I am still too confused on that subject to go either way, so I just dont think about it, but I could really care less how anybody else feels as long as they dont push their religion on me or lack thereof.

Perhaps you might want to post this in the religion category

i think your real problem is the conflict between your sexuality and your religion. i personally think there is nothing wrong with being gay. it would be the best for you to accept yourself the way you are, but that would mean you'd have to alter your religious beliefs to understand that your sexuality does not change your faith.

I just wanted to say that I have read your questions and answers to several questions (including my own) and I find you to be very level-headed and well-spoken. I used to practice Christianity and then evolved into feeling differently - a lot of the reasons I did had to do with the way Christians around me looked at issues - it got under my skin. But your views that are influenced by your beliefs are not at all offensive, even to someone who may not believe in the same things as you. I am glad to read what you have to say, as I am more inclined to listen to someone who is rational, if nothing else.

Every religion is under attack by somebody, or some group... not just Christanity... so get over it.   Just believe in your religion,,, and quit crying about it.  People will always talk about what you believe in.  Get Over It.
