Why is it that we tend to be unbending and intolerable of peoples beliefs?

Belief is all we have, it drives every decision we make. Belief allows us to be  healed when we are sick, stand up when we are down or advance when we are behind. Belief changes a comforting story to a fearful one. Belief makes a man a failure or a success. Belief makes a sugar pill a miracle drug. Belief is unique to us all.

Some people believe there are conspiracies, others don’t. Some believe in a heaven and hell, others believe in reincarnation, some believe in nothing external. Some people believe in Aliens others in Allah. Some believe in psychics, mediums and so forth.

What do you believe?

How would you feel if someone destroyed those beliefs or forced you to believe differently?

Show me the rule book that says we must believe in God, aliens, evolution, Allah, Buddha or science. A scientist will say that proof is required by the person initiating the claim. A religious person will say that proof is required by the unbelieving.

People believe in many different ways. I feel there is beauty in this diversity. Yet some see it as ugly and unbecoming.

I believe in God, you may not. Is there a need for conflict based on that simple statement?

Even those who believe in a God believe it in different ways. Those who believe in science, believe in it in different ways. Beyond that, there are myriad ways that people believe in things.

I believe in creation, you may believe in evolution.

For me I say:

I have yet to see an airplane go back to its inventor and say; “You never created me!”

I have yet to hear of a computer telling the man who created it; he doesn’t exist.

I await the news of a skyscraper saying it evolved from a teepee

Why is it that we as human beings are constantly attempting to disprove the notion of a creator?

You may agree with me or you may say; “How could anyone discount the evidences supporting evolution?”

Either way we choose to believe it or not. It then becomes the driving force behind all of our decisions.

My challenge to you is to respect peoples beliefs. How different might this world be if we tolerated another’s beliefs?

I am not saying that we allow socially detestable actions to continue. I am not advocating murders, robberies, criminal behaviors and discriminations. I am merely suggesting a love for mankind regardless of what they choose to believe. You got to choose your beliefs, let them choose theirs. If they feel the desire to shift their beliefs and change their perspectives, let them. Don’t you have the same right?
