Hey folks, I've got a question that's been bugging me for a bit. Why do some people engage with a belief system they don’t actually believe in? I mean, some folks visit and genuinely want to learn, which is cool. But then there are those who just show up to slam it as “demonic” or whatever. What's the deal with that?
I've thought about it quite a bit. Maybe it's jealousy? Or maybe they just haven’t had any personal experience with what they're trash-talking? I guess I’m wondering if these comments come from a place of not knowing or understanding what's behind the beliefs.
My perspective has totally changed over time, based on stuff that happened to me personally. At first, I didn’t really subscribe to this whole thing either. But there were experiences that made me think, "Hey, there might be something to this."
So I get it—we're all on our own journeys. But when someone trashes others' beliefs without really knowing why, it just seems kind of pointless and negative. Is the aim just to criticize for criticism's sake? Or is there more going on?
I'd love to hear what you all think. Does anyone have ideas about why people behave this way? Let's discuss because I'm trying to understand where they're coming from.....
