Does it bug you that....

To the original questions:

Does it bug me that some don't believe in my God? Nope. Some don't believe in MY God, but they believe in some sort...I honestly believe they are all related. And, if they believe in no God, it makes me a little sad for them, but as long as they understand that I, too, am allowed my beliefs, it's not a problem for me.

Does it bug me that some so not believe in my tenants, holy works, prohets, etc? Nope again for much the same reason. I am also honest enough to admit that some of the tenants of my faith were borrowed from other, older faiths.

Well Lizskid... I expected that from you. ;) I mean that as a compliment too. You are very open like that. It shows and is much appreciated.

Why do you think some people get upset when others don't believe as they do?

...I know from my own experiences, with my family, it made my dad irate, befuddled and caused a lot of chaos. He still hasn't totally accepted it. ...In my case, it could be for more personal reasons. Yet, it does seem that he is just vexed by the fact that I don't agree with his religion. It's something he just doesn't quite understand.

I am not the best at perceiving the thoughts/emotions of others, but I think that other people are "vexed" too when another person doesn't believe as they do.

Well, some are very fixed in their beliefs. Their devotion is so absolute that they cannot conceive of another choice. To challenge that is to create a lot of anger, sometimes fear, and confusion.

QUESTION:

Do you all think that people might be getting upset at others who disagree with them because of some sort of cognitive dissonance or doubt in their own beliefs????

perhaps more like a feeling of "this touches me so much and has changed my life, and i feel it is Truth, why can others not see it?"

a bit like the saddness Mr. Emu mentioned. or in some cases, perhaps fear that one is not right.

I like that; when push comes to shove I bet that there are very few people who believe in the exact same beliefs.

Friend Yuvgotmel,
When there is no god why should anyone be bugged.
Religion? its just a way to reach just somen alternative methods of knowing of being of rediscovering
Whatever comes to ones mind it is NOT [neti]
Its just nothingness [WU- CHI]
Love & rgds
