It is unjust to prove or disprove someone's religion.

"#1: It's their opinion and beliefs It's their religion. So, what ever they believe in, that was their choice to believe in that belief. It's not your business or concern of what religion other people believe in. Okay, the bible states that you should transcend the Christian beliefs to other people. I understand. I understand it if you're doing it in a way that doesn't show you're subsiding them. I will transcend the Christ way, but I will only do it to those who don't know what to believe in and in a respectful way. But, just because it's your opinion doesn't mean you should go out and belittle their opinions. That's not an opinion. That's just disparage." You say other's religions are none of my concern, but they are my concern when other's religious beliefs effect my life. With politicians basing their political decisions on their religion, people teaching their children their religion before their children are able to think for themselves, tax exempt status for religious institutions, etc., there's plenty of reason for other's religious beliefs to be my concern. What happens when a religion tells its followers to forcefully convert new members? Is it unjust for them to convert others forcefully? If yes, then we should stop them, but would telling them that their religion is unjust or wrong be unjust? If both are unjust, then we have to allow one of the options. Even the lack of a choice in this scenario is allowing the first option. If you argue that both options are unjust, then it's impossible to be just. If you argue that either are not unjust, then you abandon your argument. It isn't, however, possible to be unjust in a situation that leaves two unjust options. In that case, choosing the least unjust option would be the just thing to do. This means that, in this case, it is just to either allow the religious members to forcefully convert others or it's just to stop them from practicing their religion. "#2: It starts so much controversy I don't just mean controversy as like people just gather around in a group and argue back and forth. No, not just that controversy. WAR controversy too. Yes, Religion can start a bunch of mess worldwide. Part of the reason why there is an Al-Qaeda is because of Religion. The Al-Qaeda is a religious motivated group even though they have some political goals. Fighting over religion causes most of the world's problems. - http://www.majorreligions.com...... (" It is manifested in greater religious piety and community feeling, and in a growing adoption of Islamic culture: dress, terminology, separation of the sexes, and values by Muslims. The Islamist movement, or Islamism, is a set of ideologies holding that Islam is not only a religion, but also a political system; therefore, modern Muslims must return to their roots of their religion, and unite politically.") - http://www.theguardian.com...... ("Yet it's true, religion has been a major feature in some historical conflicts and the most recent wave of modern terrorism." "Religion has been implicated in all sorts of conflict and violence throughout human history.") *This source isn't that much of a source because it is more of a forum, but these people sound like they know what they're talking about. So, I don't care if you take this as a source or not because I'll still have plenty of sources.* - http://www.bethinking.org...... ("So, does religion cause war? Sadly, it does. But does Jesus Christ, and do those who submit themselves wholeheartedly to Him and His teaching? No.") - http://www.beyondintractability.org...... ("All of these instances derive from a lack of respect for other faiths.")" You quote "[do] Jesus Christ, and do those who submit themselves wholeheartedly to Him and His teaching [cause war]? No.", but you also say "Christians can interpret very differently even though they believe in the same thing". It's possible for a Christian to interpret the bible in any way. To say an interpretation is wrong is unjust by your standards. You also quote "So, does religion cause war? Sadly, it does". Religion, at times, but not always, starts war on its own. Islam calls for violent punishments for a variety of religious offenses. It's not just their opinion; it's their religion. To allow them to behead someone who leaves Islam, which the Quran tells them to do, is unjust. To tell them that their religion is wrong is, even if I were to consider that wrong, the least unjust of the two options. As I've said before, choosing the least unjust of two options is just. However, it's not unjust to tell anyone who thinks that way that they're wrong. Religion can and has caused wars without controversy caused from religious criticism. "#3: No evidence as to why I'm not saying this to diminish everyone's beliefs. It sickens me when people try to disprove Christianity or some other religion and then they have no proof as to why think that way. Sure, other religions have no proof, but it's RELIGION. Religion is a series of BELIEFS. Meaning, it's OPINIONATED. Sure, the bible said this and the bible said that, but you can't use your own religion as proof to disprove other beliefs that has nothing to do with yours. That's inapplicable. For instance, this Christian guy *(Remember: I'm a Christian too. I have nothing against Christianity. The only thing that I'm against is how they force you to believe in what they want you to believe in. This is the 50% reason why I wanted to start this debate. Now, Christianity in a PHYSCHOLOGICAL standpoint makes sense. But, in my opinion, when it tries to be physical, it doesn't make sense. For instance, supernatural activity like walking on water. That's kind of unrealistic because if Jesus could walk on water. Shouldn't we or something else be able to walk on water too? I know that Jesus is God's son and if he's God's son, then he should have some powers or something, but still. All of these supernatural activities that you see in the bible doesn't happen now. I do believe in some miracles like healings, but I don't believe Jesus walked on water even though I do believe in Jesus himself.)* is walking around and some Hindu started talking about his beliefs for some reason. Then the Christian comes out and says, "That's stupid. The bible said this. The bible said that." I mean, using your own religious beliefs to disprove others is so irrelevant. That's being biased. How does he know if all of that is true? He has no idea if what he just said was true or not. He has no clue. Religion is a big mystery. Everyone has different answers to this big mystery which goes into #4." Lack of gnosticism isn't a reason to abandon the pursuit of shared truth. When someone's religious beliefs contradict understood science, there's noting unjust about informing that someone. It's necessary to inform certain people with more vigor than others. If other's are, as sometimes happens, ensuring the scientific ignorance of their children, then it isn't that one person's delusion. Innocent children are in danger of brainwashing and the matter requires more forceful attention if polite attempts yield no results. "#4. Everyone has their different interpretations of religion. 2 Christians can interpret very differently even though they believe in the same thing. I'm not the typical Christian who believes everything I see in bible. Again, not disparaging here. But, still, just because you believe in something and you think it makes sense doesn't mean the person next you should believe in that too. He/She can if he/she wants to, but forcing him/her to believe in yours is fallacious. What happened to the First Amendment? Freedom of Religion. Where's that at? I don't see it." Different interpretations of religion are no reason to call it unjust to disprove/prove a religion. The First Amendment doesn't protect anyone from other's opinions and freedom of religion doesn't either. To silence arguments because they may offend others or change their minds on religious matters is what's truly unjust. Sorry that it took so long for me to respond. I've been busy with finals all week and just realized my time to post was about to run out. I had to type this up quickly and don't have time to proofread it before posting. I apologize for any grammatical errors or similar things.
