Well if you mean me by someone then i'd like to stress that i don't believe I'm "broken".
But if you mean others, then I'd like to ask, why not?
I agree not everyone can be fixed but there's still hope for some, why give up on them?

I completely agree with you on this one. The same religion thing happens with me all the time, especially being from a religious country like India, people seem to hate(lack of a better word) people who don't believe in religion. I've had so many people preach me and make me in "god" but my faith stands strong with science.
Ps - Not afraid to state my views in this message as you suggested
Let the haters hate, potatoes will still potate.
Here is the thing.. a belief is a belief is a belief. At one time, "science" said the earth was flat, then "science" got more information and said no, the earth is round. Then science declared the sun and planets revolved around the earth, then science got even more information and said no, the solar system does not revolve around the earth, but rather, the planet's revolve around the sun..
We can go on and on, at one time science said smoking was good for your then with more information it said no it's bad for you. Same with food or how to treat fever, what is good or bad for you changes near daily.
Science can only explain so much, and only within the breadth of its own knowledge.
Now, I'm not knocking science, but belief in anything is simply that, a belief based on what is known to the individual doing the believing.
Your parents have a religious belief. It's just that, a belief. It's also something they believe, and you can, and should, respect THEIR choice to have and hold that belief.
If whatever someone believes is not harmful, then it's about respect of persons.. is your parents beliefs harmful to others? Most likely not... do they harm others? Most likely not.. therefore as their child, it's your job to respect them for the individuals they are.
You can disagree all day long.. but sit and argue and try to convince them their beliefs are wrong? Honestly that's just stupid.. and very very pointless..
Trying to pry someone away from something they believe is near impossible, and generally speaking only empirical knowledge will pry someone away from their truly held belief, and that is NOT something you can give them, ever.
So it's a matter of respecting them as people..the people who love you and want the best for you.
You can raise your own children as you see fit.. but you should respect your parents for doing their best.
There is hope for some for sure, let's leave it at that cos least we are in agreement
I didn't bring it up, PLEASE LOOK AT THE MESSAGES PROPERLY.
I don't see how I'm twisting anything?
Don't get me wrong, you don't wind me up in the slightest but many on here may differViews will vary on a discussion forum.
That's how a discussion works.

I'm not singling him out, there's not just one person I've fell out with. You can't be friends with everyone all the time and I speak my mind if I don't like something.It's not polite to single members out
Doesn't mean I hate them! I might dislike a particular mannerism, even some of my best friends can irritate me.
Everyone has floors, me included
Agreed.It's not polite to single members out
Guys let's not have a fight?
I'm completely for having a good argument about something with both the parties stating their point of view but this seems to be going somewhere else.

Don't stress over it.
Doesn't bother me a bit.
It's the internet.
Sorry, if I abraised you that much.
I am older and I am not Politically Correct.
But I am a straight shooter, no BS type.
It does rub some the wrong way. I don't really care..lol. Never have.
Such is life.
I am glad it doesn't cos I don't have a problem with you at all, but I've seen you in a few arguments and don't want you to get kicked off. You should go on .................., you can have a laugh & swear all you want without getting rule reminders. People get offended too easily. H
Hahaha I seem to annoy everyone! I'm past caring

Oh my gosh as if they wouldn't let me mention another forum, that's pathetic!
I'm only 26 and I agree with what you said. Also I want to point out that parents can only do so much for their kids. Not always is it that the way they turn out the parent's fault. I'm an example of good parenting to no avail. As a teen up until a number of years ago I would do everything my parents said I shouldn't do and was, I say was a bad example. Throughout the all that time my parents did everything that a good parent would do. Today I do everything I can to make it up to them because I've changed. People shouldn't keep being so critical on the parents all the time.I'm only 26 but I've lived a very long, hard life an every day is a learning curve however or whoever we are. Wisdom doesn't come from age, it comes from knowledge & power

I was really hard on my parents too & went down a bad path that actually caused them to disown me for a bit.
I totally agree with all you've said too!
As a child and a parent, we all make mistakes, the best we can do, is to try and not make the same mistakes twice
No you just make other mistakes and have to learn from them too, it goes on and on but you shouldn't regret them as they make us who we are.As a child and a parent, we all make mistakes, the best we can do, is to try and not make the same mistakes twice
