Religious Discussion

[Kagemusha]

I just toss in my general wiew.I think that matters of faith should be evalueted as matter of faith.If a person chooses to believe on something he or she has the right to do so. Who are we others to judge what invidual wants to believe in. When we talk about faith we talk about sets of beliefs that necessarily have details that can be denied by science. But if you read religious texts from a wiew of a believer,they offer you values.I dont think that any profet of any religion was there to tell history to rest of us,but what they tryed to do was to offer us a healthy set of values in their belief.Ofcourse in most cases the original ideas of the holy men in different religions were twisted to something completely different,that the person originally ment. But i think that the basic idea should be when we are talking about religions is that while there are different dogmas on different religions, in the end a religion is mostly just one persons personal beliefs.And beliefs can be irrational to others many times like we so often see in for example political conversations,where the opposing party makes absolutely no sense what so ever.

That was well said Kagemusha. I applaud you.

But, what if one's belief system says that believers need to try and convince others accordingly the same way?

Depends if that belief system requires the believer to force the conversion. If its forced conversion then the belief system is wrong on its face.

However presenting the reasons for the belief system to those willing to listen is always acceptable.

I agreee with Red and I think the key word there is willing, a lot of people seem to forget that part then complain when others take offence to it. If everyone just let others do what they like, within reason of course, then the world would be a friendlier place.
