if u don't believe in the same I do, as far as I'm concern u can believe in flying pigs or witches and wizards
however, who the heck give u the right to ridicule what other people believe

I agree with what you're saying, and the world would be one heck of a better place if everyone would just quit rediculizin' each other.

is ridiculize a word?

amen to lonelywalker, and amen to sightseer

Nope.

tell them to go play in yahoo chat..............

double nope

do you mean ridicule miguel

Well hello Indn.

those who do ridiculize othes for their beliefs are just making pathetic attempts to justify the void
like a drug-addict tries to fill his/her void with drugs

Miguel,

There are times when one will speak his own experience while explaining the nature of their own religious beliefs. Unfortunately, as a result of anyone finding things completely unbelievable about any religion in particular, there will be those of that belief who become offended...

I cannot speak for anyone other than myself, however, I am sure there are those here who I may or may not have angered with my convictions...

It is not intentional... it is just what I believe and why.

Hello Sight my friend...

Miguel it's ridicule, ridiculed, ridiculing and that is all I can come up with off the top of my head.. I hope it helps..

now i need merrian-webster

I too do not intend to offend. I am blunt and strong willed and come off brusque sometimes but I believe each has a right to their own beliefs. My opinions are my own and when voiced may be interpreted as an attack but it is never meant as an attack.

m-w.com no need to buy one anymore

Or you could just keep Indn around.

my apologies the correct verb is ridicule

Apology accepted. But in all seriousness, I do agree with what you said.

Hi TLW (Miguel),

I do ridicule people for their beliefs, but only when they try to substantiate those beliefs for the purpose of defending any bias and bigotry they show towards others.

A persons Belief/faith, can indeed be proven, but the source to which that beleive/faith is attibuted can not be proven in this world. Therefore, it is illogical to attempt to do so.

The only purpose for such proof could only be to validate an individual ego, or as I stated previously, to defend their reasons for the judgement they pass on others.

By the way, it's nice to see you, hope you and your family are all well.
