Most 'preferred' religion or beliefAll I ever see on TSR is people hating on every other religion or belief, i just wanted to know what religion/belief people actually like?!
(And yes every religion/belief deserves respect and none of them are better than each other, i just wanted to know whichs one people like more, thats all)

Re: Most 'preferred' religion or beliefI started a thread like this (about which is the msot peaceful religion), with good intentions but it still descended into chaos . . . and negs
But doesn't this just basically ask, what is your religion? Plus On my thread I said religion/ belief to include atheism then I got shouted at for calling atheism a belief! Cos apparantly the belief that there is no god is different to a lack of a belief in a god
The general consensus was that thinks like jainism and buddhism preach the most peaceful messages and probably have the nicest people overall. Having said that, there are people from every religion that are good people. There's just a few extremists or tyrannts that use said religion as an excuse to do bad things. Especially when the media hype it up, the publics view of the whole religion goes down and all of it's people are viewed as being terrorists.Last edited by Clare~Bear; 01-05-2012 at 19:45. -

Re: Most 'preferred' religion or beliefTwo highest options will be atheism and Islam, I guarantee. I'd say the majority of TSRians are non-religious, and there's also this weird group of devout Muslims who unrelentingly preach their religion and neg anyone who dares disagree. Just telling it how it is.

Re: Most 'preferred' religion or beliefPeople will vote for their own personal beliefs.
No, not all beliefs are equal to others. Some have far more evidence than others.
Finally, as an atheist, I have a problem with all of those religions apart from Buddhism and Jainism (because I don't know what it is!). -

Re: Most 'preferred' religion or beliefIt's a montheistic religion which prescribes a set of morals and values, and makes claims contrary to science and evidence. The same issue I have with every religion really. There's not 1 specific example of why sikhism is worse than any other, it just shares many of the same pitfalls.(Original post by Tinkle)

Re: Most 'preferred' religion or beliefIm an athiest, but i'm pretty sure that sikhism and hinduism among others are not contrary to science and evidence, in fact they encourage it (as in expanding knowledge of the world)(Original post by The Patriot)
