    I have had a dissagrement with a meber today about beliefs, I'm not going into details but I personally don't agree with beliefs being forced onto others.

    Everyone is entitled to believe in what they want but is it right for them to preach to us and tell us what we should and should'nt believe in??

    I think not.......What do you think?

    Please, this is not an attempt at flame I am genuinly interested

    My thoughts on this are that beliefs are personal and are best kept that way.
    Forcing them onto others only invites trouble.

    once i was discussing this with an RE teacher. part of the lesson was talking about not forcing your religion onto people then i said why do we have to do RE then? he said we dont. but i stopped him and said if we choose not to do the lesson then we'd get fined and stuff, so it is forced on us.

    then he changed the subject and carried on the lesson. 1-0

    agreed

    but i think most of the time people believe that their beliefs should also be believed by others, so we're forcing our belief that it shouldn't on to them

    Religion is like crime, on it's own it's harmless to society at large, and sometimes stupid.

    Organised, it becomes destructive to society, and also begins to shape it.

    Forcing one's beliefs on others is the first step towards organised religion.

    Once religion is organised, the process never stops, it would trap us all, if it could.

    I agree. No one, and I mean no one should try and force ones beliefs on another.
    These people are the real bigots in the true meaning of the word.
