It is very difficult for some to accept the fact that the cannot change other people.
One reason, freedom of speech. Still, doesn't mean I agree with the forcing of views onto others.
Because they are close minded and if its not their belifes it is wrong.
Because they see logic in their beliefs and they think that is the truth because of the logic, and the truth must be known!
Because people will believe what they want and degrade anyone who opposes their beliefs. It is human nature to hate what you don't believe or like.
Democrasy. We express whatever we want. If someone disagree who cares.
Because opinions are like buttholes, we all have one and they all stink
People can be so absorbed in their own perceptions of reality they fail (or refuse) to recognize when they've crossed the line from "spreading the news" to the unknowing, to imposing their views on the unwilling. Don't give a lot of weight to such activity in a public discussion format such as Ask!.
Such a strong desire to prove they are right and the other person is wrong. It would be nice if everyone stated their beliefs and let the others do the same. I wish the comment section was not there. The helpful button is good but I wish there was just a disapprove button instead if the comments. Thats where the anger brews. I'm a wimp... And I cry easy .... .....
Not to nitpick, but someone telling you your statements are wrong on a public forum is not forcing beliefs on you.
Forcing beliefs on you would be inserting them into laws or government that you must then follow or be ruled by, converting you by force or coercion, or indoctrinating you via compulsory education.

C'mon! Do you have any idea how incredibly BORING it would be on here or anywhere else if we were all like those two cartoon gophers? You remember dontcha? Oh, a little before your time? They were these two gophers or rodents that made their home underground and were so incredibly polite to eachother that even as a kid watching these two characters, I stopped wondering about Bert and Ernie and started wondering about these two. Anyone familiar with the old Warner Brother cartoons will know what I'm talking about. I don't think they were "Chip" and "Dale" because I think they were squirrels and were DISNEY creations. Anyway if society actually acts the way these two rodents did with eachother, then we won't ever have to fear violence ever again, just being bored to death, or at least bored into a coma.
Actually, unless a question is indeed about religion, I do not feel that Ask.com is the forum to express those beliefs. When, for example, a teen asks a question about a pregnancy, there are three choices available. 1) keeping the baby 2) abortion 3) adoption. Even though religion is not an issue here, people make it one and try to influence people with their ideals. I believe this is because they feel there beliefs might be superior to others or as stated, some may be ignorant to other beliefs. I would love to see answers reflecting more facts and less religion or even political influences.
Nothing forcible about sharing beliefs. Gathering information is the only way to come to your own conclusions. out of all the B/S you may find something useful.
Why are you trying to stop us from forcing our beliefs on others? You shouldn't be suggesting that we not do that because that would be.....
No one should try to FORCE anything but as Christians we are tasked by God to tell ALL people about God and His love and about the amazing Gift of Grace He gave all humanity through Christ His son and how easy it is to accept that free gift should they want to do so.
However what many of my fellow Christians dont seem to grasp is that it is not our job to 'save' or 'judge' or 'convert' anyone. All of that belongs to God. Those are Gods responsibilities and Gods alone and He does not need our help. All we are supposed to do is tell people about God. That we will continue to do until Christ comes for us.
