Old Posts (3) - Religious flavors

When someone tells you they don't care what religion you believe in, than they're saying your religion is false. People treat religion like flavors of ice cream, you prefer vanilla, I prefer chocolate, we each have one that we like better. So whats the difference between preference in ice cream and preference in religion? Ice cream goes through the digestive system and in 24 hours its gone from your body, however the religion most people believe in claims to effect you eternally. People don't mind what flavor of ice cream you prefer, because they want you to be happy now, and know that it won't have any afterlife effects on you. Thus, people who say that it doesn't matter what religion you believe, its personal taste, are saying that your religious beliefs make you happy now but they wont effect you eternally.
