Why does it matter that much who is right, science vs religion?

Personally I don't need other people to agree with me.

But it is so sad and sickening to see all the people being rude and disrespectful to each other because honestly they can't tolerate people not being the same as them....

Religious people have to respect people's freedom and choices and let them live their own lives, you will get more results by being good role models, then in telling people what to believe.

Secularist, if you want your freedom and respect, than you should demonstrate you deserve it by respecting other people's right to believe as they want.

We are all people, what we believe really doesn't matter...

But honestly all this bickering is really a sign that we just aren't good people anymore, if our ego is so stuck in being rude and disrespectful...

If secularists are good people, then demonstrate it be good role models, encourage good behavior.

If religious are good people, then demonstrate it be good role models, and encourage good behavior.

Why is it so important that people agree with you? I find it honestly very infantile.

Thank you.

    For thousands of years people have always tried to push their beliefs on each other. From religion, to politics, to science, to raising children, and on end on. Even we find it difficult to stay in marriage together.

    Many years man went through bitter fighting, even most Americans left England in the early days because of religious persecution, or political beliefs. That is how America started.

    Wars have been fought for trivial issues, relatively, but they have been fought.

    Man will never stop the act, all we can do is try and live with each other.

    It is much harder to do when you have leaders showing the way, rather then convincing people to work together and get along. America is becoming what their ancestors ran away from.

    Cannot answer your question, but hope this explains a bit of what is one of mans worst traits.

    It matters because the nuts try to legislate their beliefs and that is more than I will stand for.

    The Bible says: "As far as it depends on you, be peaceable with all men."

    But as you have noted, many who say that they follow the Bible, don't do that.
