Choking on Beliefs

An issue that came up in my head while doing the reading this week was the hypocrisy of, well, almost everyone.  Not necessarily every individual (though, there are very few people who are never hypocritical, myself included), but certainly members of every group or every side of every argument or conflict. Whatever it is you believe, you want others to believe it too.  On a very basic level, there isn't much wrong with that.  You think that you're right, and you want other people to be right, too.  But there is a very, very thin line between sharing your beliefs and shoving them down someone else's throat.  Sharing is fine.  Sharing is great.  We're taught that the moment we're capable of being taught anything.  But trying to force someone to believe what you believe isn't.  What's worse, is that you can try to make someone else believe what you believe, but then get angry when they try to make you believe what they believe.  That's another thing we're taught early on, the golden rule- treat others how you want to be treated.  If you don't want someone to tell you what to believe, then you can't tell them what to believe.  If people could, with in reason, believe what they wanted without forcing their beliefs onto others, the naturalism vs supernaturalism 'culture war' wouldn't be as much of an issue.
