Do you care if others believe what you do?

Does it matter to you?

One thing i've always distrusted are religions that actively go around trying to convert/recruit people.
The nock on doors wont just go away types that want to give you pamphlets.

Are you in any way associated with this type of activity? Is it something your religion does?

And again, do YOU personally care what others choose to believe, and seek to turn people onto your way of thinking?

we all do to some extent or else we wouldn't bother expressing our opinions. but i can disagree and move on pretty quickly once i've said my piece.

I'm talking RL, not the internet.
Should have specified that...

i'm the same way in real life save for when i need to filter myself for practical reasons.

No worries, just wanted to clarify.
Sites like this are way different than RL in regards to how we behave.

Arguably those who try to convert actively believe they are doing others a favor, since they are essentially saving them -and thus saving themselves?-. At least in my experience of such context.

In general, if your religion makes you happy and you want others to be happy, there is nothing confusing about wanting to share that with them.

Not what i was asking, but thanks. 👆

I did answer though, to me personally, it's not a big deal either way.

Didnt get that from your post.
Again, thanks, my bad for the confusion!

Survival of the fittest and our tribal instincts push us to have the biggest tribe with each of us at the head of it.

Religions are just tribal units and they all want world dominance.

If we did not feel this way, we would all be hermits and would not care about our tribal affiliations.

Social science 101.

Religions ate nothing of the sort but thats an interesting way to break it down.

You disagree yet do not even attempt to correct showing how little you have thought of religions as they pertain to society.

My friend he does. Thats his biggest lie, to make the general population believe he does not exist.

🙄 Satan is a mythological being. But more importantly, Satan is a scapegoat. Humans don't like to take blame for things that are rightfully their fault. So, we blame it on Satan. The truth is we are to blame for all of the evil in the world, and we don't need anyone to tempt us. We really can't fix our own problems until we stop believing in Satan, and own up.

Cool.

i care what others believe but only to an extent. basically if you believe weird shit that i think is just counter productive then it does irritate me a little. like creationism and aliens building the pyramids and dumb shit like that. but it won't make me dislike you at the end of the day we can agree to disagree and move on.

but if you believe stuff that seems vicious and really dangerous like some of the more extreme religious sects, not gonna name names but we probably all know, then yea i care cause that type of belief is really scary and needs to be stamped out.

but as far as do i care about everyone else being non-religious/atheist/agnostic/hell-bound just like me? no not really. i mean i guess it would be kind of easier for me in some regards but it's not really that big of a deal to me. and to be honest i find some religious rituals and antics entertaining even if i do think it's based on fake shit.
