Have You Become More Accepting Of Diverse Faiths and Beliefs? (Jesus Christ, missionaries)

[Sunstone]

Have you become more or less accepting of diverse faiths and beliefs since joining RF? Why?

[Mavrikmind]

I've allways been very tolerant of other religouns. Since sometime in my twenties I've been a firm believer in the freedom of religoun.

When I first came here a few years ago I was pretty intolerant of Christian faiths and convinced most, if not all, people in them were intolerant bigots. I'm happy to say that after coming here and meeting some wonderful Christians that I've become more accepting.

Well, I was pretty accepting before, but since joining I've learned things about beliefs that I hadn't run across much, especially the left-hand paths, and that's helped a great deal.

The question really depends. Since I've moved into a new neighborhood - which corresponded to the time I joined RF - I've become less tolerant of a particular sect of a charasmatic religion. But my intolerance isn't to their beliefs as much as it has to do with the fact that leaders are "selling" faith by charging a lot of money for internships - money whose main purpose is to fund families being able to live in 3,000 square foot homes.

I despise manipulation of youth, which is why I'm so intolerant.

However, I've become much more enlightened regarding the groups represented on RF and feel like I'm more knowledgeable which in turn has led me to be more accepting.

I've stayed about the same, I was generally accepting of different religions before I stumbled upon RF, the only think that really changed is my knowledge of those different religions.

And of course my boredom has decreased as well

I've become less ignorant of and consequently weary of several faiths, but I wouldn't say accepting. I'd still protest their missionaries here.

I think I've been about the same, although I have gained some knowledge about specific faiths or denominations.

However, I have, indeed, gone crazy since I came here...just ask Sunny!

I was very, very intolerant of other religions and even other Christian denominations when I first came to RF. Now I feel like that I can accept people for what they are, even if I disagree with the way they live or do things. I think RF has deffinantly changed me a lot.

Depends. I believe that we all should be free to believe or not believe whatever we want. However I believe that eternal life is by faith in Jesus Christ alone. While we are free to believe anything we want, we would do well to make very sure the beliefs we hold are true, for there are many false teachers and religions in the world, and eternity is a long time to have to spend having been wrong.
