Justify your belief???

[Spirit of Light]

Are you sure about that? Can you give specific examples?

Already did

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

Who said they do?

 

[Spirit of Light]

You need to be more specific than that. Do you mean as it is taught in the Bible to kill those that do not believe the same as you do? That can be found more than once in the Old Testament.

This is a perfect example of the reason for the OP.

 

[Orbit]

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

I'm an atheist, and I've never asked you to justify your beliefs. Stop generalizing.

Norway being one ( I am born here and live here)
They want to end religious teaching everywhere

Want to or have?

Everywhere or in Norway?

I believe Norway is a democratic country therefore it seems whatever laws are being passed are the will of the majority.

 

[Spirit of Light]

Who said they do?

It was asked by an atheist in one of the debate threads

Here we go again

Religion are taken out of school.
Ban of hijab in certain Jobs.
Ban of wearing religious symbols publically are talked about politically

Is that due to the recent issues with rogue Muslim men in Baltic countries? They generally leave Christianity alone, as it is taxpayer funded.

Religion is a personal issue and should not be in schools. There are countless different denominations of Christianity alone. Add in all of the other religious beliefs and there is no way that a school can treat them all fairly.

But as to banning religious wear, and I know of that in a couple of countries, I believe that that is a mistake too. If a woman wears a hijab she is not harming anyone else. It should not be banned. The same applies to other religious wear.

Well they put restrictions on how religion ate practiced (political leaders want to deside what religion can or can not do.

Politic and religion are two different things, they should not be mixed

My faith is so different from anyone else's view points that the only thing I can really do is have the person interested Google both pantheism and syntheism to help understand where I'm coming from. When I say things like I know God exists because I'm alive and can experience change, it throws most people completely off.

That could be yes.

 

[Jayhawker Soule]

Toward a Christian person. Yes it was debate. But that does not mean one HAVE to justify a personal belief

True. You have every right to leave it unjustified -- and to have that fact highlighted.

 

[Secret Chief]

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

To others? One doesn't have to. One has to pay tax, the rest is optional. Especially the ineffability.

 

[Heyo]

That answer has been given multiple times in religious discussion and refused as a non sensical answer

Must have slipped by me. I think it's the most sensible answer and it should end any debate or further requests.
You have a right to believe what you want, that is enough justification.

Unless you want to debate.

 

[Spirit of Light]

I'm an atheist, and I've never asked you to justify your beliefs. Stop generalizing.

Even some don't do it. Like yourself, it is often seen here in RF.

And no this OP is not about me. It was a Christian person who was asked to justify his belief. Not me

Sould every religious person stay away from debate?

As far as I know, everyone pay tax, no matter religious beliefs or not

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

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

You don't claim any donations to religious organizations on your taxes?

You don't visit any religious institutions that get special tax breaks?

I do see that Norway directly subsidizes a lot of religion, but not Islam, so at least that's not something you'd have to justify.

No I do not get anything from the government for being a religious person.

So not passing laws to end religion but doing to religion what religion has done for thousands of years. And I don't see how this has anything to do with justifying your beliefs.

As i said relegion has been imposing itself non humanity and dictating politics for thousands of years and still is in many countries, trust me, you don't want to live in any of them.

Correct they should not be mixed though religion should be controlled if it impinges on the lives of people who don't want it. As you say religion and politics shouldn't be mixed. Best to keep politics in charge of running the country for the betterment of its whole population and religion kept in churches, temples mosques, synagogues etc
