Asserting Ones Beliefs?

[Theland]

Is it important to you to vehemently assert your beliefs on others in the hope and assumption that what you say is 100% true, and convincingly so in your own mind?
Would you ever entertain the possibility that you could be wrong?

[Theland]

This should have gone into R & S but AB has a gremlin.

[Mamyalynne]

It isn't at all important to me to assert my beliefs on anyone - they're mine and that's enough for me.

[scorpiojo]

No.
Yes.

[Theland]

That's nice. Me too.
Nice to just chat without all the aggro.

[jackthehat]

1. No.
2. Yes.

[rowanwitch]

I don't need to assert my beliefs, I don't care who shares them or not

[Theland]

Nice one Jack.

[-Talbot-]

No
No

[IJKLM]

Ditto to Mamya.

I am entirely and completely comfortable in my beliefs (such as they are).
I have no desire to discuss, justify or proselytise.

Personally, I find it irritating, and not a little presumptuous, when others try to tell me how much better my life would be if I abandoned my own set of beliefs and adopted theirs.

It's my personal belief that we'd all be better off if everyone paid devotion to their gods (whatever they are) quietly and in private.

However, I recognise I have no pwer to change their behaviour.

[anneasquith]

I find the whole thing very simple. Do you believe in God? A) yes. B) no. I fail to See the obsession of religious debates on AB.

[rockyracoon]

No. I don't care if people agree with me, or not.

[Samuraisan]

No
Yes
I don't care what other people believe, as long as they behave and keep it peaceful and basically to themselves.

[woofgang]

No its not important to me to assert my beliefs. It is important to me to live by them.

//Would you ever entertain the possibility that you could be wrong?//
Yes. Do you?

[AuntLydia]

This is a strange question from a poster who tries to assert their beliefs on a daily basis.
Would you entertain the possibility that you could be wrong and there is no God?
or is the more of a 'repent and believe' sort of post?

[Theland]

Stating what I believe and listening to what you believe is called, "conversation."

That's all.

[nailit]

I believe its the latter AL :-)

[Theland]

What words and in what form would content you Nailit? You sound tormented.

//Stating what I believe and listening to what you believe is called, "conversation."

With a little dig at catholics, muslims, atheists etc along the way eh Theland? In fact a rather big dig at times with those that disagree with your own beliefs!

[nailit]

//You sound tormented//
Here we go again with this ''nailit is tormented nonsense!
If that's what you want to believe then crack on lad...
