I respect you.. I do have my own practice of faith as well..and no one can change it not even an award-winning author however, I appreciate his efforts.juliusotieno02 wrote: ↑26 Apr 2019, 02:54 I don't think questioning a faith for the sake of clearity can in any way hinder my faith. I do not claim to be very religious but i have my own version of faith. It was not affected by the author's views in any way.

Thats for sure;one only subscribe to a belief he strongly believe in. if a mere piece of literary work can affect your faith,then its no longer "your faith". Anyway the author did an examplary work here.IamShing wrote: ↑26 Apr 2019, 05:13I respect you..

You should give it a try..It doesnt force you to believe in something..your reaction really depends on you..pixiestyx wrote: ↑27 Apr 2019, 21:37 I can't say I'm a believer, but I do have my own beliefs and consider myself a spiritual person sometimes. Usually when asked, I say I'm Agnostic, as it's easier than explaining what I believe in and why. However, while I think keeping an open mind is always a good thing, I am wondering what sort of story this really is. I haven't read it, and I'm curious to know how others feel about it.

The key is education as you mentioned. I agree some will view it as a threat while others will encourage it. The problem is people view quotes and opinions in different ways. You never know when someone will take what you said out of context. Therefore if you educate yourself you will be better equipped to understand.Katherine Smith wrote: ↑10 Mar 2019, 14:43 I am not a believer, but I am spiritual in that I see the beauty and relevancy of religion in one's life. I think that for some people I book that hints at challenging their beliefs is seen as a threat. For others, it can be a way of looking at their beliefs in a different way in order to expand their mind. I also think that sometimes when quotes are taken out of context they can seem harsh, but educating yourself about the culture can help you to understand.
