Why is it,..

Why is it that people try to force religion onto others? Shouldn't people be able to believe what they want?

The reason im asking this is because one time when i was at school, the subject of religion came up at our lunch table. And it just so happened that there was a very strong christian at our table and decided to put in her two cents. And it ended up starting a whole arughment at the table with her trying to force christanity upon us. Saying that if we didnt then we were damned to hell:/

I just want to know where in the bible or anywhere else does it say that we are damned to hell if we are not christian?

Hm, that's very common these days, you know. It's just the mind set of it, really. People think if they drill it into your head, you will believe like them. Which, contrary to their belief, it just makes people resent the religion. I have religion forced on me constantly, but I still stay a strong atheist because I believe something christians do not.

I guess people need something to believe in, or else they might go crazy.

If you believe, you want to spread the word to save everyone - and in doing so great harm can be done. Best rule of life is each to their own, don't judge what you don't understand, as long they do no harm. Unfortunatly most faiths have some rule on pushing their own faith, one way or another, and staying faithful.

Anyone up for a faith list? No! Right here is one I made earlier...

In a sense, I'm an Atheist, because I don't fall under any current religion, or agnosticism(Unsure if sa got exists)
Maybe I'm a deist? in that I believe in a higher power, but I don't have faith in any specific religion... I used to be an aetheist, and to be honest, Idk why I "Found god" I just sorta woke up one day and just believed. it was wierd, and still is.

To each their own.

To impose upon another is a sin against natural rights.

Threats of Hell just worsen the situation, and make the person want to beat the crap out of you xD
