Is pushing religion upon others fair?

A paraphrase from Sheldon Kopp, "The most you can hope for out of life is partial freedom and limited happiness." If you expect more than that, you're not only wrong but you'll be constantly disappointed with existence. I think Kopp would have said "limited" fairness too.

It depends what you mean by pushing religion upon other people. If you mean The Crusades when people were killed if they didn't accept "Christianity" or if you mean when people were burned at the stake for possessing a Bible then I totally agree with you as I'm sure most others will do.

But if you mean helping people to see what the Bible REALLY says then allowing them to make their own minds up then please let me refer you to Acts 5:42--

"And every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus."

Also Matthew 28:19,20--

" Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”

Jesus commanded his followers to teach others the truth.

People of all sorts deserve respect no matter what their beliefs or life style. However that does not mean we have to agree with what they believe or do or compromise our own standards so as not to alienate them.

I guess it's inevitable that people will hear of religions and their ideals, since most people aren't as sound as you. Is it fair? Definitely not. Especially when a certain person pushes a certain religion unto someone else unwillingly. The word God should at least be educated foremost to humans' so that people can AT LEAST learn the history of mankind's past.

Your question varies from person to person, because people react to different situations in different ways, and no-one answer can satisfy the reality.

I would allow an athiest to answer this question for you. Go to youtube and type in Penn Gillette gets gift of a Bible. Penn, (of comedy/magic duo Penn and Teller) is a well known athiest, but gives a very interesting take on religion as a whole. Watch the video.

at first, that's greater durable for a woman to divorce for one reason and one reason purely: if a woman initiates the divorce, she has to grant back her mahr, that's her sole alimony. If a woman is able to divorce her husband by utilising asserting talaq thrice, men everywhere might say "yet she divorced me, i'm taking back my funds". The greater durable technique is made so as to teach that certainly the female initiated the divorce and the guy can take his mahr back. 2nd of all, i'm uncertain why you're disillusioned. There are woman scholars, commencing with A'isha (ra) and persevering with forth. No we don't do azan and we don't lead prayer, yet women people can certainly replace into scholars, make fatwas, practice Qur'an, and a lot of those different issues. There are even women people Imams in China who run woman purely mosques (which isn't haraam, by utilising the way). do not enable the lads who've grown up with cultural stereotypes bolstered harm your Iman. study your Qur'an and keep on with the hadiths with stable chains that don't contradict the Qur'an. replace into reliable on your know-how, and commence coaching different sisters. those sisters will practice their babies, and their babies will inshallah ta'aala harm the cycle, putting us loose. P.S. As a placed up notice, do not enable the pro-Western feminist Muslims pervert your learnings, the two. Islam is the middle street. pay attention all people who teaches against the Qur'an and the Sunnah, be they guy or woman.

Where do you draw the line? If you cannot tell homosexuals what they are doing is wrong, why is it wrong to tell pedophiles they are wrong - after all, they are just being themselves?

ETA: my apologies for offending you. The majority of homosexuals are not pedophiles. I used a poor example.

I think your religious beliefs are private and should stay that way unless someone asks you about them and you choose to discuss it. I am not out to convert anyone to my beliefs or lack of them and I very much resent anyone else trying to convert, convince, or "witness" to me unless I expressly ask them about their belief system.

Couldn't agree more America would be more pleasant and livable if more people were like you.

I completely agree.

Yes it is fair, especially when there is money to be made.
