Hi Linguist.

 

If it's possible for you to understand why I don't believe (I'd be happy to hear your reasons) why is it hard to imagine that I can understand why you do?

Dear OffTheWall,
I don't really feel like getting into this converse again…but since u'r saying you've learned loads about religion (i dunno, some particular one, or theology in general), you should be careful with the terms, i believe. Superstition is NOT a part of any religion (as i know them, and from those i know). In some religions it is even forbidden to follow them.
I meant one thing. Now u'r on the other side, u can't deny it. And presently u can hardly understand what believers feel. U do not believe anymore, that means (i dare say) u never truly did. And those ppl who stayed feel in quite a different way, just because they are still faithful.

  Linguist said : Superstition is NOT a part of any religion

I think most believer think that superstitions are not a part of THEIR religion, but other religions are ONLY superstition. How can they be otherwise.

Is there a believer of one faith who thinks that other faiths can be true also?

su·per·sti·tion    n.   <!-BOF_DEF->

Gkisseberth,
OK, i admit that my idea was misformulated. I will say for my religion only now, coz i dunno about all of them of course. Orthodoxy DOES NOT admit superstitions and forbids believing in them as well as it`s a sin to apply to witches and fortunetellers. I guess there`s no need to explain the reason.

Yes I do .

Jesus Christ was God in the flesh, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin.

Jesus was crucified on a cross at Calvary.
Jesus Christ was without sin, but He was crucified for the sins of the whole world.

Jesus rose bodily from the grave to give us life.
Jesus Christ rose bodily from the grave to give eternal life to all those who believe.

Fine. But there`s one thing i can`t get. Ppl here are obessed about being polite correct. So offending ppl`s orientationis forbidden.
But why then the feelings of believers are offended by those who express ideas like religion is nonsense. And don`t go telling me some of you didn`t mean that. I feel really sad reading that all. And i feel pity for you…

Linguist. I know I am not obsessed with being politically correct. I think it's important to be polite and respectful to people, but if I think their ideas are nonsense or I think their religion is the same as a superstition, I'm not afraid to say so. 

So yes, I do mean to express that idea that i think religion is nonsense and overall bad for humanity. It doesn't mean I can't respect people who disagree with me.
