Why do religious people have to justify their personal religious and spiritual belief?

Justify your belief???
- Thread starter Spirit of Light

Because the non-religious are determined that we can actually explain our own inner experiences, even if their main point is ineffability.
I've said this before in other, similar threads you've made, but imo they don't unless they want to convince me I should abide by their religious code. If religious people kept to themselves and didn't try and enact social and civil policies I had to follow, I wouldn't care what they believe.
Only when they are trying to force that belief onto me do i need justification. And i always find they cannot justify whatever they are trying to sell
Other than that people can believe whatever they want.

My guess is it's their greed. Ever since they realised that rationality gets results and, more and more, reputation, they want to appear rational.

What does that has to do with a personal belief in a God, and why do they have to justify that they hold a personal belief??

Aren't atheists trying to stop Religion from spreading, by putting up laws in different countries?
Shouldn't that be justified too to the religious people?
Where is the difference?

Greed from whom?
Are religious people in RF greedy?
If your personal beliefs are subsidized - either directly or in kind - by taxpayers, then you owe taxpayers a justification for this special treatment.
All restrictions on liberty should be justified.
... but are the laws you talking about restrictions on liberty, or about removing special privileges?
Eh?
It seems to me the Christian right are wearing a nazi hat and forcing their beliefs through as laws.
America comes to mind here.
Please identify these countries you claim where atheists are passing laws to destroy religion.
Most of them certainly seem fine with getting special tax breaks for their donations to their social clubs.

I personally dont get anything from the state for being spiritual or religious.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
If you have to justify it, then it means there is doubt.

Some are. They want to have faith and ratio.
I'd say, you can have your faith, let us have our ratio. You can't have both. The moment you apply ratio to your faith it vanishes in a puff of logic.

The freedom to practice the religious teaching as it is in the scriptures. Often one can see certain aspects are tried to be stopped.

Its the atheists who ask the believer to justify their personal belief.

So to all religions people in RF, stop coming to RF because practicing our faith are greedy, and speaking about our faith in a religious forum has become greed??
A bit sarcastic there of course.
one idea is to reduce risk of death, pain, or suffering. jwe test beliefs and learn from them hopefully. belief becomes toxic; especially when it's organize in large groups and practiced on others with impunity and unverifiability. almost like a paranoia
