Okay me and my brother's were talking about religions for some reason i don't know, but anyway we were talking about what we think about the different religions. anyway what do you think of other religions

I don't really think about other religions. Only in the context of discussing my own path.
I do sometimes have cause to consider Christianity because of my family but that's about as far asit goes.

I honestly get sick and tired about hearing about 'the almighty god' in christianality and I don't like it when people try to force their beliefs on others eithers. But I usually don't talk about my path with others unless we're close and believe the same thing or close to it. Because I don't want to hear about it, so I doubt they want to hear it either.

Depends on the religion and people representing/misrepresenting it. In M&R, I'm confronted with a wide variety of different religions. It's nice to discuss religion in a civil manner because it helps me understand my religion better.

Agreed. I'm fine with other religions as long as they don't shove their beliefs down my throat. I literally chase the jehovah witnesses off my lawn. I don't hate them or anything but the way they go door to door trying to save my soul or recruit me into their church i do dislike. If i am not there already, I am not going to be. And I am not saying they are the only ones going door-to-door but I'll stop now...lol

I don't mind the Jehovas because if they don't do that they don't get into heaven.

I really don't mind talking about Christianity or other religions. It's actually sorta enlightening in a way. I just don't like it when people misrepresent religions and or demonize them completely.
I’m missing the feeling…
so this pain is also welcomed!

My opinion is, if it rings true to you then go for it, if it works for you go for,do not judge me or preach to me.

I really am open to others I honestly dont care what my
co-workers,friends,family,ect. believe because to me its their personal decision and realigion is a personal decision. Im happy being pagan but someone else maybe happy being jewish,buddist,muslim,ect. If it works for them and their happy thats great. heart

I think it is interesting to discuss belief and religion with people who's views differ with my own, as long as they are willing to have a level headed discussion and don't get offended because I don't share their beliefs.

I have some very good and close friends who are devout Christians. It doesn't bother me at all.

What does bother me is when someone gets all 'holier than thou' on me and doesn't even know the basic tenants of their OWN faith. I absolutely can't stand it when someone who claims Christian wants to berate me for not being Christian...and then I come to find out that they haven't even read the Bible...that just irks me no end.

I tend not to talk about my religion a lot. I'm sick of the stereotypes and racism- and I've found pagans and Christians to be equally annoying about it.

Most of the pagans I have talked to about it make all kinds of stupid assumptions and start babbling about curses and "black magic". Most of the Christians I've talked to have just been dismissive.

My friends- regardless of their religion, have been supportive though.

I love speaking about other religions with people, just not my family. My parents are christian in the way that they are so closed off they believe that paganism is totally against their god, yet other religions aren't. They'd prefer me be a Buddhist than a pagan, which is sad. But I accept and love everyone's religious differences.

I have to deal with my mother's fluffy cross between Christianity and (her version of) "Wicca," my aunt's "everyone should be Buddhist, it just makes sense," my dad's belief that when he's high he can make things happen (claims he's a "warlock"), my uncle's fluffy "Wicca," my boyfriend's "I'm atheist but I'm still blaming a god," and my grandparents' rampaging Christianity.

It's so fun.

Lets put all the leaders of all religions in the same room and let them have a think-tank session. It would be interesting.

Pretty much this.

I respect every religion, and the person who's following it.

I'm open to talk about it with them, and to give my own opinion.
