Question to believers of different faiths

Aupmanyav

Be your own guru
You read their mind before they speak to you?
You see, Conscious thoughts, it is difficult in case of Hindus. We are individualistic. But when it comes Christians, Muslim (Sufies included) and other from Abrahamic religions, it does not require even a second thought. They would talk about their One 'true' God/Allah and his One 'true' messenger.
 

Spirit of Light

Be who ever you want

As a sufi I love listening to people from all walk of life, there are those who see things differently of course, but they have a voice that should be heard too. Yes I believe in Allah, that does not mean other people can't believe differently than me

A very easy question.

How do you feel/react if someone from a different faith wishes to read from their Scripture to you? Do you listen with interest or do you ask them to leave you alone?

Personally I have been both stopped on the street, or asked to come to their church or temple to listen to their preaching, and if I can I always say yes to listen to them. And even have a calm discussion on the topic they speak about.
I struggle with preaching as I cannot ask questions.
I love discussing others about their beliefs, as long as there is a genuine and effective conversation.
I truly believe the only way to find something as true, is to know the other POVs about it.
In my POV, people who are not educated about a topic and dismiss it, are not really in a position to claim it true or false.
So as many people say Evolution is false... unless they actually learn it and understand it, how can they claim it to be false?

If they're not asking any donation money or selling any of their books and simply have the intention of preaching, then i have no problem in listening to what they have to say.

There's one sect in Hinduism (the Hare Krishnas). I find them annoying since they are always asking for donation money and won't leave you alone until you give them something. Once they get to know your home address, they will pop up at your doorstep, asking for more money. Also they disrespect other Hindu sects, which i really don't like.

Other than this, I respect all major religions and believe them to be different paths that takes us towards God or divinity. I have been planning to read scriptures of major religions, but lately my health is not so good. :( I guess it has to wait for now.


The Hari Krishnas come across as a little bit culty, but in their defence they fed me on a couple of occasions years ago when I was hungry, and they still do that I believe. And when I see them parading through central London chanting and playing their drums, they always seem to be spreading good vibes.

Best question IMP would be; Were you born? Argue Evolution on Factual Basis.
