Religion - Part One

Don't force your beliefs onto others.

If this is obvious to you, then you're either amazingly intelligent or fooling yourself. No, I mean really, don't force your beliefs onto others! Except this one in my case. Though this isn't a belief really, it's more a general sense of how not to be an anus. And yet, so many people do it! It isn't just religious folk either though. No no no! Let me give you an idea of what is forcing your beliefs on others and what isn't.

You're putting down your information on Facebook and you say you're Catholic. This is not forcing your beliefs on others.

You tell people that they are going to spend an eternity in torture for not believing what you do. This is forcing your beliefs on others.

You are conversing with someone about religion and you mention that you are Muslim. This is not forcing your beliefs on others.

You tell other people that their beliefs are inferior to yours. This isn't exactly forcing your beliefs onto others, but it's still being an anus. So don't do it.

You see someone else being obnoxiously preachy and you ask them, "Have you ever tried seeing things from the opposing viewpoint?" This isn't forcing your beliefs on others.

You inquire if someone approves of rape and murder because contextually their religion says it is alright. This wouldn't fit into forcing your beliefs on others, but it's still attempting to screw with their beliefs. So don't do it.

Basically, live and let be. If you stay chill with what I believe, I'll stay chill with what you believe.


Thank you for reading this post, and have a great day.
