Religious Discrimination

so i went to church today because my family had asked me to go along. im agnostic so i wanted to ask questions about the faith and see the priests point of views. as we were talking i brought up Muslims and he had a disgusted look on his face when i did so. he told me "as a good Christian you shouldnt get involved with other of that kind." i thought like WTF??? i didnt say anything for it wasnt my place to correct him or force my briefs onto a priest who has already made up his mind on the matter. and this is a common thing i asked my friends later who are also Christian and they to have been told not to 'hangout' with people of other faiths and i find this wrong. dont you think that people should just get a long? it like we are being taught to hate others even though we know nothing about them... has something like this happen were you live were you live? i live in the USA and i want to know what other people from other countries think of this. or even other Americans. why are we taught to discriminate against others in this day and age this should be behind us. im also going to link a video i found and i would like you to watch its only 10 minutes and then tell me what you think =)

People discriminate on christians all the time. From the people who sicced lions and tigers on them to people today who worship Dawkins and his ilk. In fact, just take a look at the various religious posts on Fakku. You will find more posts hating on christianity than you will hating on muslims.

It doesn't matter which religion (or lack thereof) you have you will be discriminated against, somehow.

No matter what religion or lack thereof, for that matter. I mean, atheists get horribly discriminated against also. Seriously, it depends on where you are in the world, and what the dominant religion (or non-religion) is.

my religion was almost wipe off the face of the earth by those retarded Catholics.

Coptic Gnostic

Just because we believe Jesus was a man and not a spirited being intil his death.

That and he had a kid, there was two gods and we seek knowledge instead of bible tales.

Sadly enough most people are ignorant slobs that will be hating on everything that's not accustomed to them, be it religion, sexuality, race, opinion or w/e.

Luckily for me I live in a very secularized country with little discriminations about faith on major scales. Sure people will always thing that Jehovas Witnesses or the Hare Krishna movement and the like are a little off but it's not something that will really spur any conflicts.

That being said there is of course discrimination going on, both on a large and more personal scale. I'd be surprised to find anyone submitting seriously to any faith on a high-up governmental position but I'd be just as surprised if they would put up some Darwinism-preaching atheist. But no-one would probably care if the person in question went to church/mosque/synagogue or whatever every now and then.

There's virtue in moderation.

People be haters.

Most of the problems of the world, in a nutshell.

pretty much... why do people strive for confrontation? does it give them a meaning for life haha and religion is suppose to preach peace... or thats the impression i had anyway... i guess it means peace for those who follow that religion

I get discriminated a lot by people because I'm an open LaVeyan. (Google it)
But I don't care. I'm proud of being a Satanist.

All social problems in this world exist because we are different from each other.

But conflict makes the world interesting.

Discrimination happens because people want to hold on to their own beliefs.

Im not a really religious person, but I dont really care about what people believe in, thats their business. I dont think someones an idiot if they believe in a god I dont believe in. If having faith has an influence on you life and gives you the strength to go on in life, then religion is a good thing.

I just dont like people who think "you dont belong to our religion, your way of thinking is bullshit". But then again, a lot of people do it outside of the religious context. Religion should never be an excuse for superiority nor should anyone impose himself on someone else.

Religion is a personal thing.

The world can never have a universal agreement on an opinion

I guess we can agree to disagree.

Having different opinions is one thing, but when humans start forcing their opinions on others is where things get ugly.

I stopped reading here.

eh........People are different, and they'll act hostile towards new or different concepts whether it be religion or anything else really.(not everyone and not all the time.)

Although..............never mind.
