Family members that are insisting on pushing their beliefs on us

[EviesEarth]

In our home we are very diverse in our belief system. However, we have a few family members that are insisting on pushing their beliefs on us. We have not come out and told them that we believe differently than they do. As they are very set on their beliefs. It has really affected the relationships with these people. Any suggestions on how to handle this?
Thanks!

I don't think you should let this affect any of your relationships. A human being always has his/her beliefs. And sometimes people are so much into those beliefs that they don't realize its effects. Similarly your parents will be having something that they have believed all their lives. So you should have a good debate with your parents and let them know what you think. This should sort out your problem rather then letting it affect your relationship.

You many have differences, but as a family don't take it personal. Also don't go up to them and say plain up your wrong. Try to give them info on your beliefs and tell them why you believe that. Maybe that will help work it out!

It is absolutely essential that we keep very strong and rational beliefs of about how we have to live our lives. This is very important for leading a meaning full and fruitful life. But forcing your beliefs on others as parents do sometimes on their children is a strict no no according to me

the first thing you can do to pacify such a situation is just stop reacting to their beliefs, don't argue with them. if you try to respect their thinking there is a very bright chance that they will start respecting yours. some people are no doubts stubborn in their mindset but this doesn't mean that they are bad or you stop being nice to them. just keep on doing your own stuff and take them easy.
