or is it just mindless drivel to those that refuse to think for themselves????

The Bible is for those who refuse to think for themselves. Those that rely on the Bible will never know the truth, because the Bible is full of contradictions and outright nonsense.  It tells of a time when men ruled women,  and kept them pure because pure women had more value to them.\n"Seek the truth, and the Truth will set you free".  If you seek the truth,  you will have less and less in common with people who follow religions blindly,  but at least you will be free.

Yes but I don't think its consciously done by most who are involved. Its memes - ideas which can hook in to people brains and pass on, do survive and pass on. Most people involved in the church have probably been hooked themselves. Even more insidious if you think about it.\n\nOh and don't forget the big one - the absolute glorification of blind faith in what they are told.

In all honesty I belive it to be because there are to many people with uniformed opions.  If you have an uninformed opion then you do not have all the facts you need to speak on a subject, especcially matters of sprituality.  I think to many people do not know how to disuss something with out name calling or acting like children because no matter what you say you are a reflection of your actions and if you do not act "enlightined" then you are not.  I think that in an "eniglightned" world we would not all agree on everything but we would understand that you can dissagree with someone without acting like you are a monkey escaped from a bad monkey insaine assylum (sorry).  I really belive it to be a matter of \nFirst listing to someone\nSecond respond to what they said\nThird DO NOT STEREOTYPE ANYONE.\nthats my little thought on the subject.

I agree, it's human nature.  \n\nBut there is a good side... personally, I can't be bothered with people who are so closed minded that once an idea gets in their head, thats the way it's going to stay.\n\n(Smart) people actually continue to learn their entire lives, and the only way to do that is to get past the initial image.  I would much rather talk to someone who knows that things aren't always what they seem, and that the world and the people and things in it, are constantly changing. \n\n (This would automatically disqualify all republicans, LOL) j/k, (ok well not really)\n    :)

it's kinda backwards to me. Sure they are tring to get a good point across. But no one really believes them or pays attention because they act like CRAZY people.

Mistaken? Deluded? Mentally ill?

I think this is because some people are just EXTREMLY ARROGANT , IGNORANT,STUBBORN, AND NARROWMINDED.\nI had a simmilar experience, I just ignored them, becuase their words mean nothing to me. DONT LET THOSE STUPID KIDS TRY TO KEEP YOU DOWN, THEY JUST WANT TO SINK YOU GARBAGE DOWN.

Makes exactly the same amount of sense, doesn't it?\n\nThere is a certain kind of "logic" that is so off-base that you can't argue with it other than to throw up your hands and give up. That kind of  logic, which includes "how can 2 billion people be wrong" (which obviously doesn't include the Chinese) also asks irrefutable questions of the nature of "If 'BURD' doesn't spell bird, what does it spell?", and so forth.\n\nWhen you give up in disgust, they believe they have won an argument.\n\nWhat I also don't understand is that if the Creator wants me to believe certain things, why have perverts, idiots and outright criminals been appointed to the task of teaching me?

It means that they may have to question their own beliefs and why would they want to do that?  I mean, think for themselves?

Sorry you are experiancing this. Someone must not be comfortable with you or your views. I'm not really suprised though, it seems some people will do anything to  prevent a person from speaking for themself and presenting a reasonable point of view. If they want to ask silly questions (which can be fun) let them do it for themself.

Who defines Worthless? What seems worthless to one may be golden to another. If I read a question that doesn't interest me or I don't think that I have a good answer for~I pass it by and go on to the next. And since this is open to the public, you need to take that into consideration. Everyone is entitled to their opinion just because you or I don't agree doesn't make it wrong (or right). \nYou ask why people ask easy questions that they could find the answers for them selves by searching the net. Now this is just my opinion~but I think that they don't just want the answer but also others input about the answer.\nAnd yes it does get a little frustrating, nerve racking sometimes reading some of the BS on here!  But as I said earlier pass it on by and go to the next one!!\nI don't know if my answer helps or makes you feel any better but I sincerely hope it does! And I also hope that you have a Great Day!!!

No one wants 100%, undiluted truth.  No one.  Just think of all the seriously crude/wicked/insulting/etc random thoughts that wander through our heads...even I don't like knowing I think such things about other people.\n\nI live by the adage 'If you don't want to know, don't ask'.

Only if they are ignorant!

no they just cant handle the fact that they ARENT right...they have this bubbling fire in them when they ask their on-sided question..but when they get the answers they dont like...they freak and ignore the truth...theyre dumb..dont even worry about it =0)

Apparently, it is!\n\nI think apathy has a lot to do with it, too.\n\nYou know, if someone can't help being stupid....I can look over them.  But, these losers who just are too lazy to even try to learn the correct ways to communicate .......just get on my nerves.\n\nAnd, ugh!  The slang terms they are coming up with!

are there people who think like this? yes\n\ndo they know what they are doing?   no\n\nif they are fooling with any kind of "dead" thing, it is probably a demonic spirit taking them for a ride.
