Reply to Ruby Mahay

What Ruby Said-
Personally I am not a religious person, however I respect that other people are deeply religious, which is fine. However I don’t agree with preaching in streets and town, because in today’s society everybody is aware of the different religions and if they are interested about a ‘faith – change’ then they can research and ask people as to how to go about it. However to me, a non religious person, when people preach at me, I find it imposing and annoying because it feels uneasy and forceful.In my experiences relating to religion I have realised that many people try to impose culture as religion in order to give their thoughts credibility, such as their thoughts over gender or social values.

My Response -
I agree that preaching about religion is wrong. People are born with a faith and if they don't like it they will take that step into finding one they do like. If you believe in something this is fine but don't push it onto people that are trying to do their shopping. Religion is a good thing. I also have respect for people who have alot of faith, i sometimes wish i had more. People are all different and what they choose to believe in is their choice
I think most people think like this but the extremists go to far.There is no need to stand in a shopping center and force people to lisen to you. If they really wanted to join that religion they woulnd find out about it by themselves. I have noticed conversion is on the up as of late but i'm sure that is a result of people taking that step themselves, and not being forced.
