In the interview with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah's Next Chapter she asked the question, "What is it that you believe that allowed you to be who you are right now? What is that belief?" and he responded saying "I think its um, a belief in myself, and the belief that Jesus died for my sins and that he gave me these gifts. And you know I feel like I have a responsibility with these gifts... And I don't want to misuse what he's given me". Now this caught me by shock, cause I didn't know what he believed or whatever. Justin Bieber was also reported to have a new tattoo of Jesus on his leg. Has Bieber ever shared his believes? Do you get offended when celebrities share they're beliefs/ i never do, the only thing is is that i may get tired if they talk about them all the time. Like Chelsea Handler talked about voting for Obama almost every episode. Which got tiring.

i'm confused that leviticus verse was about not shaving the hair on your side or whatever.

It's only offensive for the people who don't agree or if they try to convert others to their beliefs, religion or not.
They're allowed to share their beliefs. It's what they believe in, just like you sharing that you find them shaving their beliefs offensive, that's one of your beliefs in a way. I don't know how to elaborate.
Sure, I get offended by people's beliefs, a couple of times from Justin Bieber, oh ho ho, don't get my started on Romey, but I find their belief offensive, not them actually sharing it offensive. If that makes sense.

I dont think its offensive when stars share their beliefs. Everyone has their own beliefs, and their own opinion. It's normal for people to have different beliefs. It isnt offensive, its more of sharing their own opinion.

No. They're as allowed to share their opinion as us normal folk. If religious people can wake me up at 8 on Saturday to "save my soul" then brad pitt and whomever else can say what they believe. Hearing about it should affect somone as much as a squirrel sitting in a tree does. Though I can see a few people getting up in arms. Probably some do get themselves to feel offense, but as for me, no.

No, I don't ever get offended. Everyone has their beliefs, and that's fine.
I think it only gets annoying when someone preaches their beliefs at you, and tell you to live your life their way.
So I don't have a problem with people having their own beliefs, but personally , i'm not religious at all, so it becomes really fucking annoying when someone preaches their beliefs and shit to me.
It's Ok to have your own belief/religion, but at times you should keep it to yourself, because nobody wants to be preached at, or told how to live their life.

Seriously, who gives a damn?IMO it's unimportant.I mean, if it annoys you, or w/e, just change a frakking channel.Their life, their opinions, and they can say w/e they want, and so can you.So what's the problem with that?
I really can't understand what here can be "offensive".

No.
It only is when they shove their religion or beliefs on you like any other person.

I don't really care what celebrities do or believe. They don't affect my life at all. They should have the same rights as any other person, which means they should be able to share their beliefs if they want to.

Not unless they're trying to preach or convert people. People - celebrities or otherwise - should be able to share their opinions and beliefs without fear of criticism.

I really dont mind hearing about celebrities different beleifs. I dont like Tom Cruise or Kirstie Alley any less because they are Scientologists. I may find that religion strange but a matter like that shouldnt effect their professional status! Freedom of Religon

Well, isn't that in the Book? Book of law? The supreme book?
If you call yourself a Christian or any other kind of a religious group, then try at least act like one by abiding the laws prescribed by the religion you are following. That's why it is called a religion. Bold for emphasize.
I don't give a fuck about what a rapper thinks, lol. Yeah. He sounds pretty strong by being a hypocrite.
Read Romans 16:18

LOL! Isn't God Omniscient, The All Knowing? I am pretty sure he knew this day and age would come, don't you think?

I don't see anything wrong with it as long as they are not pushing you to join it. If you don't agree than don't listen.
