Have you ever been criticised or looked down upon because of your religion? How did you deal with it?

Christianity is a common religion but the way I practice or interpret or behave as a result of my religion has offended people in the past. One example is that I do not care what people look like because I'm obsessively religious and a lot of people think I'm lying or jealous when I say I don't care how pretty or handsome good looking people are. I've been accused of being mentally ill for liking guys who were neither handsome nor rich because people thought I was desperate and did not understand I liked them because they were equal to me in their dedication to faith.

Constantly, I largely ignore it or debate them. But largely their opinions and misconceptions are not my problem so I don't much care

If you stick to the traditions, isn't it even forbidden to share knowledge with strangers?

[Agape93]

Depends. We don't share our secrets, but not everything is a secret. That's what hermeticism is about.

Personally, directly, and specifically? Yes. In most cases, I roll my eyes and move on. Every now and then, I might at least try to debate someone.

[PraviteliNahuiValite]

I take another look at everything to see where I can learn. If one doesn't offer any truth, it's like their opinion doesn't exist for me.

Sure have. It used to affect me earlier but I later grew immune to it, took some effort to get there ngl. Now, it doesn't affect me in anyway now and the ones who have a problem with me in that regard are irrelevant to me.
