People's Beliefs?

[MediaSlayer]

@jonno-it's only natural. i don't like to discuss politics or religion with complete strangers so I avoid the world discussions as much as I can. but having said that you can develop some trust for people and sometimes i do join in, but its hard because those discussions invoke too much passion in most people.

I believe that my beliefs are my own belief, and for me to believe that I can push my beliefs against anyone's belief is wrong.

I Personally Don't Beleive In God Or Any Of That Stuff.....But I Don't Think It'd Be Cool To Dismiss Other Peoples Theories/Religion

[rentalaugh]

We are all to some degree conditioned in our beliefs from an early age by our parents and society, as we get older and wiser we make our own choices. I believe no one has the right to expect others to have the same beliefs as they do.
Live and let live!

All these posts tend to lean one way-

When I was growing up (not that long ago) my parents told me decorum precluded open discussion of religion, politics, and paystubs (earnings).

The reason for this was, the strength of beliefs and emotions underlying these subjects did not lend to rational discourse-feelings would be hurt, offense given and received.

This is, however, a forum, where such things are acceptable subjects for discussion and/or debate.

It is in places such as this that ignorance is dashed, enlightenment gained, and genuine ideological exchange can occur.

I have yet to see a view, opinion, credo, religion or anything else "forced" on anyone here.

We do well to remember this last cannot occur in cyberspace.

Even "browbeating" someone is incredibly difficult.
