WHY DO PEOPLE TRY TO FORCE THEIR RELIGION ON OTHERS??

I mean Those newbie religions and their followers. I have a friend who goes sometimes to the meeting where they have their Prophet who shows them how to live. WTF?

real life, Are you one of those 'white trash' who hasn't learned anything? Krauts and nips?

It was I who first mentioned those damnable names. I am so sorry. Now I may lose my Romulan citizenship and be deported to (gasp) earth when I am released.

God does not reside in the religion, although the religion might help you to realize that divinity. Every aspect of life - politics, economics, religion, art, culture, science, education - can be lived in such a way that what we call God can be known and expressed. The divine becomes a moment-to-moment experience. That is in fact what it is. It is not a man with a beard sitting up in the sky watching that you are not stealing, lying, or cheating. It is inside you; it is your sense of the divine inside that gradually changes you from lying, cheating, and stealing to not doing these things. Not because somebody is telling you that it is bad, but because you instinctively know that that is not the right way to live with your fellow human beings.

Whatever injures or harms another person is intuitively, instinctively, wrong. A change in behaviour comes about by self-observation and self-determination. These things fall away as you become more aware of, and imbued with, the quality of the soul. That will happen on a wider and wider scale as humanity ceases to compete and learns to cooperate - in the family, in the community, nationally and internationally

" WHY DO PEOPLE TRY TO FORCE THEIR RELIGION ON OTHERS??"

A: some dont try.

i confess, i don't know WHY the ones who try to force their religion on others, actually attempt as much.

Love is a ceaseless flow of Divine effulgence. Sages call this Love, Soul. This Soul, which is full of Love, is shining in all hearts. Love, Soul and heart are synonyms for God.

For such pure Love, there cannot be any differences based on mine and thine. This Love is selfless.

Where there is confidence, there is Love. Where there is Love, there is Peace. Where there is Peace, there is Truth. Where there is Truth, there is Bliss. Where there is Bliss, there is God. :wink:

It is the most powerfull force in the Solar system (fusion).
There is also another one unifing too it is called the "will power".
Lincoln your president was its representative... :wink:

"Love is the most powerful force in the Solar system." ROFLMAO Guess you never heard of wars, hate, crime, stealing, murder, lies, prisons, and the atom bomb. Your ignorance is devine.

I finally figured it out. :wink: means he's pulling our collective leg.

What is this force that protects mankind from extinction or make that we have parents at our birth.This I call it the invisible force or Love and power of attracion(cohesion).What keeps solidarity among individuals in one country.It is still love(for the nation)
What is solidarity among nations of the world?

I was just wondering why people say that someone is wrong if they don't practice the same religion?




hingehead said
Because reality is consensual.

I believe Dr. Phil said that after working regularly with people and dealing with thoughts and ideas he believes there is no such thing as reality only a person's perception.

To say something is wrong is to make a judgement. The bible says we shouldn't judge. The bible says not to judge others and judge not thyself.
When we judge we set ourselves up as all knowing, perfect- something usually reserved for God. Romans 14:4

Love may be all around you, but I constantly observe "wars, hate, crime, stealing, murder, lies, prisons, and the atom bomb" where I live. Your ignorance is devine. Call your local police department to find out how many crimes were committed today, this week, this month, and this year. You might get a clue as to what is happening all around this globe we call earth.

If something real happens in a forest and no one believes it, is it real?

Should be a no brainer. Truth and reality are not dependant on perception or belief.

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around, do the other trees rag him unmercifully?

Stranger things have been reported.

If a man speaks in the forest, and there is not a woman to hear him, is he still wrong?

The bible says not to judge others and judge not thyself.

Zzat so? "If we judge ourselves, we should not be judged [by God]" (1COR 11:31). And what about where Paul calls the Cretans liars?

Judgment in the sense of evaluation/discernment/rejecting falsehood and evil is s.th. of paramount importance in the Christian life.
