All answers, opinions, values, thoughts, are ready-made. If you are Christian, you will answer one way, if you are Muslim another, and if you are atheist, yet another, all very predictable and very boring.

Smern was a general colour, I invented.  It doesn't exist but its not green, blue, red, white or black but its useful to talk to people about their reaction to what people wear.  Its use is to say; regardless of its colour what other attributes are important in assing a person's taste in clothing. eg:  I brought a sports car.  Q. What colour is it. A. Smern, what else would you like to know.\n\n'Smern' is my example of an original thought, and my point is that an original thought would not mean anything to anyone.  Original thoughts are beyond expression, they would just be a pause in a line of thoughts.  We have to relate our thoughs to what is already understood.  In this way ideas are developed and assimilated.  If smern catches on, it will not be original except when I first used it.\n\nIn regard to you detailed comment. I think there is a new quality to an opinion even if its been used before because its being used now, by this person, in this place.  The next moment is original so what ever happen in it is new.  Your question is an old one but it never had this response before did it!  \n\nYou have never been smerned before have you? and I have never smerned YA before but next week you might find smern in Google, that would be new.  Wow.

This website, unfortunately, is set up in such a way that it makes a very convenient soapbox.\n\nIf you're a person who is somewhat insecure in your religious convictions, or just, well...annoyingly zealous, then you'll flock to somewhere where you can easily dispense useless advice to a whole realm of people asking about something entirely different.\n\nI see it this way: you know the people handing out Chick Tracts on the street?  The evangelists accosting you in the mall?  The guy with the big sign telling you that the world is going to end?  They all have the Internet, and so do their buddies in every other city, state, and country - it adds up.  \n\nPlus, those who would love to proselytize in real life but don't have the social skills of courage to do so may be attracted to this site's anonymity.  \n\n(Note: This is in no way directed at people who answer questions about spirituality by talking about their own religions.  That's fine by me.  It's just to people like the girl who answered a man having headaches by telling him to find Jesus.)

I think it's wrong to generalize about an entire group.  However, I hear where you are coming from with people being too pushy when it comes to their religion, politics, whatever it may be.  Like any other religious group there are going to be fanatics and those individuals that try to push their views on you.  It's unfortunate that some people make others want to stay away.  I thought like you a while back, but then I came to realize that it's not Christians as a group, it is people that use religious texts to fit what they believe.  People that use their own interpretations and then attempt to preach them to everyone.  Again though, it's unfair to generalize.

I agree with you. I'm a christian,but I really don't care what others believe,and the whole argument of who's right,and who's wrong is just stupid. No one is going to change others beliefs when it is something that is such a strong argument as religion.

The quality of the questions & many answers do seem to be quite low quality, but a few folks are sincere, or at least they don't understand how the other side can think the way they do. I personally try to give them sincere logical answers, and a few people do respond with open minds, or at least a little appreciation for the mutual respect & reasonable debate. Id on't know if minds are changed, but ina few cases the anger is softened, and they get just as much chance to change my mind too.

Very well said.  I am already a Christian, but I just had to see what the Atheists would say (and disprove them).  Keep up the good work.

Pretty predictable. They are gonna squeeze every last penny outta you. Just another blatant ploy to win/or lose your vote. I believe in wolves in sheeps clothing. God Bless everyone.Muslims-Christians-and all faiths. (satan  worshipers optional).

In theory that would be good, but look at the answers here already and it is always the christians who come out with that stuff about there is only one god and one true religion blah blah blah. It's the christians who stand in the way of such unity.

Maybe both conversation and debate. Some people want to prove that Christians are wrong while others may be interested in what the religion has to say for itself. It's a confusing matter but people (even me) still participate in these topics.

its all over yahoo answers...the questions either amount to little more than a rant about something, or the person asking is fishing for the answer they would give.  i would like to the think that the best answer would actually be just that, the answer that though its not what one wants to hear is the most informative or interesting...but nope...heck even some of my best answers have not been the best of the ones posted for a question.\nthe religious section is filled with it as well, like when someone asks, "is there a god, what do we need god for?" they seem to just be looking for someone to say of course and post the bible passage that says so, when it could be an interesting discussion.\nmore people just think they are right and want it validated i guess rather than to feel challenged...

well said, baryoshaa..\nI commend your feeling.\nBut, i asked this not to justify any of religion or to hurt any religion including Islam.\n\nbut... all of your statements about "Would it be fair to blame all Christians for what Adolfe Hitler did to the jews, and all those who refused to join christianity?" and so on.\n\nisn't that what most "muslim" in yahoo answers did? -notice i put quotation- (as a sign of trying not to generalize)\nI've seen that actions all the time done by many of the yahoo answers participants who claimed to be muslims..\n\neverytime any q start to argue about validity of islam, many of them always resort to "Christian BAD BAD BAD..."\ninstead of just genuinely answer the q.\nwhy they assume the asker is Christian?\n\nLike what you did...just now.\nIsn't it possible that the people who question them are kids or some ignorants who could very well be muslim (who doesn't do his homework in reading the Quran).

I wasn't going to answer this, but then I thought, at least non christians tend to post their comments in the right place, which is in response to  a question, whether it's what you want to hear or not, at least it's where it can be read by anyone who chooses to see it.  Unlike the many so called christians who seem to take great delight in declaring their saved status and yet at the same time spam countless mail boxes with vitriolic e-mails full of spite and hatred and arrogance.\nObviously I accept not all christians are like this, but you have a minority on here who unfortunately are ensuring there will never be tolerance, acceptance and harmony between all parties,

Interesting website, but I'm a Hindu and this website is definately just a "Christianity is wrong" website. It's concept of God is limited in its perspective and it doesn't seem to bother to look further into the vast landscape of religious, philosophical, theological, and spiritual diversity that exists. The site seems to be aimed at trying to convince Christians that what they believe is wrong (which seems very similar to how many Christians try to convert people by trying to convince them what what they believe is right). So, for me, the website wasn't of any real interest.\n\nI do have a complaint about the website. It loads its pages too slow (and I'm on DSL!). Not sure why it was moving so slow, but it took me a while to even read through the website. Whoever maintains the website should look into this or contact their host. \n\nOther than that I am sure that the website is of interest to those who would already agree with it. Otherwise I seriously doubt many Christians would take it very seriously and the website isn't speaking to people of other religions (it seems not to even acknowledge the larger more diverse concepts of God, religion, etc). \n\nThanks for sharing the website.\n\nPeace be with you.

The problem with that is most people will think "Just another religious freak!" if you answer ONLY in scripture.  You have to make it personal if you want to get a point across.

Yeah I agree with this totally,\n\nI think this whole nonsense about conform to my religious believes or you go to hell is utter nonsense.\n\nGod is real, lets suppose,  he makes his prescense known to everyone and everyone has a different interpretation, even within Judism Christianity and Islam.\n\nWhat if Judism Christianity and Islam are just many facets of the same God.\n\nWe can't ask God for anything more then help in growing us in our faith, but in order for that to happen we must first have that faith.

I think it's a matter of choice.  We Christians choose to turn any question and give an answer that will somehow reflect our belief in Christ.  Your choice is to read the answers and decide whether or not you like the answer.  What you choose will not offend us; but we believe that every action that every single person in this world makes, is written in a big book in Heaven.  And we want to make every opportunity count by telling people about God in one way/shape/form or another.  If you want to be preached at, go to church.  We are simply giving our God and Bible based opinions.
