Why do you looking to find faults in other peoples belief?

[AppieB]

That's true .. but many atheists on this forum aren't here to learn .. just heckle.

Well, everybody has their own point of view of which they think they are right. Theists and atheists alike.
I've seen heckling also by theists to atheists or other theists of a different believe.

 

[AppieB]

I have learned a lot from atheists in RF, but not about my own belief.

I get that. But who knows what happens in the future

I don't mean to disapoint you, but no it will not happen. They would have to become Baha'i then.

Well, if you're not open to criticism by others than the Baha'i, then you made your belief unfalsifiable. I see a problem with that. It means that if you are wrong about your religion, you will never find out.

Oh? The teaching tell me what I have to change about my own belief and faith. Not non-believers

Why do you looking to find faults in other peoples belief and faith, when you would hate when others did that to you? Are you that insecure about yourself?

If you calling other people's faith for evil, are you any better yourself?

I was going to start another thread, but I'll just do this here since very few people here are doing this:

Why do you find fault in people finding faults in other people's beliefs? Are you insecure about your beliefs?

If you have issues with people finding faults of being critical of what you believe, why do you tell other people what you believe?

Pointing out that this isn't directed at you specifically, but to people who have clear issues with others being critical of their beliefs.

My personal belief and faith has never been more strong than it is now.

Why do I ask the question i do in OP?
Because everyone are in title to hold their belief the way they believe without being lectured by those who do not believe.

RF is a form for believers to come together to share their beliefs in a free open way. Without being treated negativity every day and lectured in HOW BAD YOUR RELIGIOUS IS.

Believers can share their wisdom, but not at all costs.

Are they, though?

If I believe that parents should only be permitted to have two children, and that boy babies are more important than girl babies, and a parent should have a right to terminate female babies so they can produce only male offspring, should I have the right to share that belief without being lectured by those that don't believe this?

You can share it, but not everyone will agree with you

That's not what I asked.

I understand. But what if your belief (religion) is wrong as a whole?

 

[Spirit of Light]

I believe it is a true teaching for me to follow.

 

[AppieB]

I believe it is a true teaching for me to follow.

Of course you believe it's true, but are you 100% absolute certain? Are you infallible and therefore you couldn't be wrong?

 

[Spirit of Light]

I am not perfect of course.
There is a lot to understand in Baha'i Faith, and I dont understand all of it yet, but still i have faith in the teaching

The relentless negativity and belligerence of a handful of atheist fanatics, is tiresome in the extreme. I’m sure you’ve witnessed that on this forum. I’ve learned who to ignore and who to engage with, but it can be a little disconcerting the first time you have an atheist attack mob steam in on you with no attempt at restraint or civility. I’ve never experienced this from followers of any other religious group, only atheists; and that’s a shame, because there are some atheists with interesting views and perspectives, who can hold a conversation without succumbing to resentment and intolerance, and who don’t equate looking for a debate with looking for a fight.

So you could be wrong in the belief that the Baha'i Faith is the right religion. But you setup your epistemology in a way that you can never be proven wrong about this belief. Don't you see a problem with that?

It is only a problem for others who don't like people with strong faith.

 

[Jedster]

Wouldn't you appreciate learning somehting regardless from whom?
What is the difference learning a thing from a theist than from an atheist?

Also people as a group can have a blind spot.

True.
In my own journey, I found that people confronting my beliefs made me examine how I arrived at my beliefs. I found that many of my beliefs were borrowed.

So you don't see a problem believing something untrue? Do you use this epistemic 'method' in all of your beliefs? How would you ever find out if you're wrong?

 

[AppieB]

@AppieB

Yes, these kind of discussions made me understand my own beliefs better.
