Question

Do you accept that people have beliefs other than yours or do you try to change them?

Answer 1

I don't try to change them but I would tell them my beliefs if I'm asked.

Answer 2

i accept others beliefs and i respect it.  

Answer 3

Neither. You tell them the truth. And, if they accept it, cool. If they don't, don't let it bother you (Matthew 10:13, 14; Revelation 22:11). Jehovah God wants everyone to live forever. But He's not going to force them too.

Answer 4

I accept them , and try to inform them about my religion.

I believe my religion is 100% right (otherwise I would not follow it), then I'd love to see everyone following the right path (in my opinion).

the most important thing is " no compulsion in religion"

I'll not try to change them, but I'll make sure that they receive the message

Answer 5

I  accept it & I can't force anybody to change it.

Answer 6

accept them, and try to change them, at least by being a model

and if there is an interest, i can provide help

as a muslim, we are obligated to tell the message, even if a single verse (not forcing, but just telling)

Answer 7

i accept it

Answer 8

Of course I accept other people's beliefs, I know they have them and I do accept them, no matter how wrong and fake they are.  At no point do I ever try to change them.  Yes I will share the gospel with them.  I do that out of love because I don't want them to end up in h**l.  But at no point do I try and change them, that's not my job.  My job is to share the gospel with them, its Holy Spirit that does the changing.

Answer 9

I accept it, the only ones that bother me at all, are the ones that are goofs about it.

Answer 10

Of course.  It's not my job to change them, it's my job to love them.  It's what my Lord wants me to do.

Answer 11

Im a Muslim and i feel no matter what beliefs you have as long as you believe in God and strive to do good in this world you are alright with me.  

Answer 12

I accept it. And I do it with an open mind. Only when I sense that my beliefs or lack thereof are not accepted - only then will I act differently, but I think that's justified :)

Edit: Oh, and when I said that I act differently in such cases, I didn't mean to imply that I'll try to change that person's beliefs. Never. That's simply wrong. I only meant to say that in such cases I am no longer receptive of that person's choice to live a lifestlye different than mine.

Answer 13

I don't try to get anyone to change their beliefs or preach that they are going to h**l if they don't follow my religion, but I will question them about things I don't believe about their religion or things I honestly cannot grasp the reasoning.

Answer 14

I accept it. The only problem I have is when they push their views onto me after I've told them not to, or when they make laws telling me what to do with my body, which is just unnacceptable.  

Answer 15

Accept it.

If they can't change you then you can't change them.

Answer 16

I don't just accept it in the sense of tolerating it, but I think it's actually a positive thing. It's great to live in a world where there is such a plurality of religious and spiritual ideas and beliefs, and in reality, understanding other peoples' beliefs, even if you do not yourself follow them, can help put your own beliefs and culture into perspective.

So yeah, it's great.

Answer 17

Accept it.

Answer 18

I accept it, it's one of the things that makes the world go 'round...
