Actually no, the four largest religions in the world are Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Neither Hinduism nor Buddhism prohibit interfaith marriages, and most Christian denominations don’t forbid it either. Only Islam outright forbids interfaith marriage, and even then only for Islamic women; Islamic men are allowed to take Christian or Jewish wives, but are restricted from marrying outside of abrahamic faiths.
A lot of people use the good book to manipulate their beliefs. There are a lot of Things I do agree with but people dont go about it the right way. The most important thing is to love God above all else and then love your neighbor as yourself. That means all people must have their dignity preserved. I will also say, as a Catholic, I believe I am right which therefore means everyone else who disagrees with me is wrong. I LOVE my Muslim professor and we get into some really cool philosophical…
…discussions about God and creation and mathematically proving it (electrical engineering). I LOVE this man and he’s not only a great professor but so spiritual and I have such a great deal of respect for him. Respectfully, despite how fucked up some people are, don’t group all of us together like that. It’s rude and unfair. I’m sorry you’ve had some bad experiences and I recognize the bigotry in some Christians but keep your heart open continuously despite that.
Its just not real snd you know no one can prove any existence of a god so I dont understand why people get mad when you clearly say that religion is make-believe because its all man-made stories about what happens after death since no one really knows. Besides wanting something to be real will never make something happen out of nothing, I can’t just say ‘well unicorns are something I believe in so they might as well be real because that would be nice and you cant disagree with me’
Saying it’s all made up and man-made is so dismissive so this is my last comment to you now because clearly you are so angry and wounded by this. I also said you CAN disagree with me which is your right as an American. But the dismissive nature is so nasty. I do respect your willingness to stand firmly on your belief system but you are going about it in such a nasty way.
Yes!! Not all religions are true! You believe in yours and therefore everyone else is wrong. Religious pluralism is the apolitical belief of religion. Like stand up for something! However, you should judge people. We’re supposed to judge people but in a righteous way. It’s tough to do so and remain humble without acting like you are morally superior (or at least I struggle with that), but still despite someone’s wrongdoings, give them love and help them maintain their dignity.
When the Pharisees want to stone a woman to death for committing adultery, Jesus says ‘he who is without sin can cast the first stone’. He then tells her ‘I do not condemn you; go now and sin no more’ He doesnt say ‘go back to adultering and dont let anyone tell you to stop’. Don’t judge or you’ll be judged doesn’t mean never say anything about sin; it’s forgiving past transgressions while encouraging a better future, as opposed to condemning for past transgressions and writing off their future
