So, I've been wondering. How do most people go about trying to make someone believe in something? Most people I must say, don't go about it the right way. They will go up to someone and say. "This is the way, this is the light, and you must do this, or this will happen, or you will die." and like with allot of Christians, and many of the religions out there. "You are a sinner, and if you don't believe that then you're screwed." That's pretty much what they are saying, you know, it may be true, but couldn't they take it from a different angle? Saying things like this is going to turn someone off from the first minute.
First example. The hardcore ratical Christians. They preach that God is a loving and understanding God, and say that it is our choice if we will be saved, and yet they go about it by saying that you don't have a choice, you're going to die, and their is nothing you can do about it. It is the truth, more than likely, but don't you think that God wouldn't like his word being preached to scare people into faith. We should preach all the good things about God, so that they will see the good side of our lord Jesus Christ, instead of saying that you will die, you are a sinner, and you are nothing. So many more people would believe, I guarentee it. Second example: Politics. Oh my god. We can't go a day without a politician going. If we don't do thise, we are going to fall apart, we have no chance at survival. We've got to get more energy, we've got to get troops more and more troops over in Iraq NOW! Sad isn't at how far we've come in life and we've still got to go around saying things that potentially are lies. Theirs always a chance in survival. We can make it as long as we work together. The world would be better if we didn't force our beliefs on someone else by scaring them. We should take it seriously, and try to explain it to someone with love and compassion. This goes to Rascism, and many other belief systems in this world. Like I said, I don't believe in forcing my beliefs on someone else. But I do believe in getting your voice out there, because maybe you will bring a thought forth, or maybe you will find more people who agree with you, its always important to find out if their are more people who believe with you, and maybe they have another look at the same thing you're saying that makes even more sense to you than your own idea. Just be polite, take it out, put it in front of them, and let them play around with it, maybe they will beleive it maybe not, just don't force it upon them. |
