I consider myself Agnostic and respect the rights of all people to worship how the choose so long as they 1) don't kill others in the process 2) don't hurt others in the process 3) don't take from others in the process 4) don't pressure others to convert to their religion or change core beliefs.
Been following ISIS. Hearing stories of "convert to Islam or be killed" and people, in most cases, choose being killed.
Me, not being any religion, if I was told that my family and/or I must convert or die, I'd convert. I'd fake it. Go through the motions. Walk the walk, talk the talk. Then escape when opportunity arose. Don't Muslims have to visit certain holy places at some point? Why not say I'm going there and then GTFO. Run.
What compels these people to die for their religion? And on the other side of the coin, what compels people like ISIS to kill for it? I just don't get it. Religion is suppose to be a positive thing, isn't it?
What am I missing here?
