Why is it, if someone does not discuss their beliefs that they are somehow ashamed of them?

That is QUITE a stretch, just because you do not believe your beliefs are personal, and that EVERYONE should believe like you do, then of course EVERYONE else MUST feel the same way?

I do not choose to share my beliefs because they are MINE, no one elses, and I would not even think that someone would believe exactly like I do.

TO think that EVERYONE must believe like you do is arrogance in the extreme, and to actually care whether someone believes as you do is silly as far as I am concerned.

Why should I share my belief? unless of course I expect you to understand and believe like I do, but I don't CARE if you beleive like I do, so I have NO need to share my beliefs.

I am very happy with my beliefs, I just don't believe that they are right for anyone else, and therefore CHOOSE, not to share them.

How do you know? Maybe we could learn a thing or three.

Does your god do anything in particular?

WoW!!! Did you invent your own faith which is only self-evident to YOU and no one else can know about it?

You didn't find out that you are the One, did you?
