My mom is trying to convert me to Christianity!
This is false, and it is this way of thinking that will lead to the end of civilization.

Some muslims think that if they blow themselves and kill as many "enemies" as possible, they will go straight to heaven and enjoy some goodies. Now, by following the philosophy that "every belief has its own validity," how are we supposed to stop people from blowing themselves up in the name of Allah? Also, you'll never see someone blowing themselves up in the name of Krishna or Zoroaster. This leads to my point, that not only is it OK to tell muslims they're wrong to think that blowing up people is good, but that we have an OBLIGATION to do so.
Some beliefs are wrong, others are right. It is utopian to think that all beliefs are right. If I believed the sky was pink, I'm sure all of you would rush to point out that no, it's not pink, it's blue. Well, I like to tell people, especially Christians, Jews and Muslims, that their beliefs are wrong, because they are, no matter how you turn them around. This is called REALISM. You don't need religion to tell you that murder is wrong (in fact most say that it's ok under certain circumstances...) or that stealing is wrong, these are statements that are simply TRUE. Just as you can have physical facts that are always true, i.e. the sky is blue, there is no reason that you cannot have ethical facts that are always true, i.e. killing people is wrong.
In the end, there is simply no reason for Religion to exist anymore. This does not mean that people can't be spiritual, because there are still many aspects of our lives and bodies that are mysterious... but there's nothing supernatural or metaphysical about them.F L E S H Reviewed by F L E S H on . My mom is trying to convert me to Christianity! She came over last night, and we dicussed what it meant to be a Christian, and how she thought I was wrong for denying Christianity. I told her that I would gladly join the flock if she, or anyone else could convince me it was the right thing to do. I'm fairly open minded, and Christianity along with a number of other spiritual schools of thought have been on my mind for ages. I have several Bibles, along with many other books on other types of spiritual beliefs. Kabbala, paganism, Rating: 5
