Things I ask myself about religion
These are things I ask myself about religion, and always try to have more tolerable answers:
How sure are you of your chosen belief? Are you still skeptical of it? Watch out; If you are 100% certain, you may have been brainwashed. :) How often do you intentionally look up information that contradicts your chosen belief to see why someone doesn't believe in it?
Do you accept those people of contradicting belief that harm no one with their belief? Not just tolerate, as that insinuates that they are a displeasure to be around that is 'dealt with'.
How do you deal with those of contradicting belief that ~do~ harm others with their belief. Do you have the moral highground on them, or have you found yourself acting no better when faced with them?
Do you love those who believe different than you in spite of what they believe.. or because of what they believe?
Have you ever suggested that someone seriously consider your belief without having seriously considered their belief? Have you looked into any belief other than your own, or did you just automagically accept the first thing you were told?
Does the information you have on other religions come from people in your own religion who may or may not have accurate information themselves, or from the religion itself that you are getting information on?
