Well. If it stirs up anger in you and is in this chat, sometimes it is best to wait until someone else can respond who can do some buffering.

and then i wonder why they're upset they should know what's in the book so why would they be upset when someone points it out

If it is in person, politely ask if they are willing to discuss what they believe.

If things get heated, step away and let things cool down.

But also, be mindful of how you word things.

ah yeah

there really isn't a good way to word some of the things though

If I posted a verse from the Bible, and someone responded to it in a negative manner, I would ask why they feel that way.

It is good to understand where the other person is coming from.

well it would be like a Christian getting upset over a verse in the Bible being posted

Out of context probably

But I mean if the other person was making remarks about the verse.

For example: posting a verse about God loving the people of the world

And someone going, well that is a lie because bad things happen

I need to know where they are coming from before I can respond appropriately

Maybe they had a death in the family or a friend, maybe their life is hectic, or maybe they just want to start a fight

i definitely didn't say it in a way that was approachable

we should all follow asha, and i think the bible, both testiments has some solid stoic truth therein

Asha?

The path of rightousness, how Zoroastrain pray, think goopd thought, say good words, do good deeds, it has a lot of interpritations

I will stick with Jesus.

I'll just stick to faith in Jesus. At least I can be forgiven if I screw up.

Amen to that

i had never even heard of that religion

is it still practiced these days?

I think so as Chaz mentioned it.

says it is but there's only like 200,000 people mostly in iran and india

Christianity started small as well

All religions started small

this was started 4,000 years ago so they say

Okay, no. They did not help form the Hebrew bible =.=

They didn't influence the Jewish religion

Oh wait, it is the History channel

yeah it is the history channel

this one is a bit more detailed

interesting i'd never heard of this before now

@Kit_DewStein just to clarifiy, my religeon says jesus is the son of god, the one and only god, and jesus was birthed from a virgin mother and shall come a second time at the end.

also I'm not super devot, they just have less rules, more gays, more fire, and a pretty simple doctrine about being good

Which, if there are teachings against the Bible, I don't plan to be enthusiastic about your religion

no, it predates the bible
