Hello everyone!
The reason I have written this thread, is that from time to time, I am thinking about people's fear to talk about their beliefs and religion outside the forum. In addition, some recent events in my life and threads that have been posted here played their part as well. (I am not attacking anyone!!!)
When we talk about this subject, we should consider the large amount of reasons, because of which, people are afraid to talk about their inner world.
In every community it's different, thus, the solution to every individual's problem also varies.
In many cases, people are afraid to reveal their true self because of things like isolation, judgment, and negative comments.
For example, a person who worships any sort of Paganism, practices Druidism or any other sort of things will often hear things like:"Do you worship Satan?" in the better case.
In the worst, he might hear more offensive things, being hit by someone or just isolated from the rest of the community if he tells about his beliefs in a place where most of its members are Christians, Jews . Muslim or any other belief system. (Again, no offense)
In this case, it would be better for him not to tell anyone about his true beliefs, in order not to be hurt somehow. By all means, you lie to whom to speak the truth is dangerous.
We neither have the ability to change other people's faith, nor make them think in a different way about the universe. But we can influence by asking them to look on what this religion turns its followers into.
By doing so, maybe the number of negative opinions will be decreased.
Any opinions will be most welcome.
