Naay uban nga maski mo too ka or dili, it's not going to affect on how you decide. However, those beliefs that states something about how you live your life or states something about morality, that's where you really see the effect. My example about the "Ablularyo" shows a person will suffer for having a decisions based on what you believe in. You and I can both agree that we don't want to see any person suffer, especially when we could have prevented it from happening. I get what you mean na dili tanan taw parehas og pagtoo, but we all know what's good or bad, wrong and right decisions. We all have brains to think about what could be the effect of our decisions. You say na whatever your beliefs are, walay labot sa imong pag progress? I'm going to give you an example: Christianity has been advising people around the world to not use a condom or contraceptive pills. Now in Africa, there are many people died because of AIDS which we could have prevented it if they use condoms. Contraceptive Pills has a different case. There will be some point in time that the human civilization will suffer because the demand for food exceeded the supply. Population Crisis is serious and we should act soon, but since Christians and other sects are campaigning against it, people who BELIEVED will be blinded on what's the effect of having our population out of control. Now you tell me if it is progress. I have respect to all people around me, and I care for our future. If we keep on doing the wrong decisions, how else humanity will progress? I know, we made mistakes, hell even I did have beliefs that made me make a wrong decisions. But I learned from what happened and I know I have to assess things that are being said or taught to me. We keep on complaining the bad things happening around us what we don't realize is that we actually have the ability to correct it. I didn't tell you to believe in something what I believed in. I never do that if wala ko giapngutana. If you read my post, wala nako gipalayo ang issue, concern lang ko sa unsa imong gi post ba, and somehow I was urged to reply since alarming man gud if magpataka lang kag too. You don't even know kung unsa akong gi toohan kay wala ko mag sulti diri. Don't act as if I didn't respect you or anything, but yeah in someway I just challenged your opinion about having a belief. The best thing to do is to defend it. Kung ako? I would love someone to somehow talk to me and challenge mine as well. So that I will know whether I'm doing the right or the wrong thing. Just because someone challenge your opinion doesn't mean that wala na dayon mo respeto. This one of the excuses sa mga taw para dili ma exploit ang ilang belief. Dili jud mahuman ang issue until dili ma resolved. As I have said, dili sa ingon nga wala ko nag respeto nimo, og dili sa ingon nga wa koy lingaw or ganahan lang jud ko manghilabot.
