there is no questions about religion ask? ( one of those rule of thumb)

My question is why do people ask questions in the Religion section that do not pertain to religion and in general why do peple seem to ignore the categories that their question ought to be in to start with?  Guess this should have been a question, not an answer!  It would be a courtesy to have questions ask in the appropriate places, that is why their is the Report Abuse area for Yahoo Answers.

"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything"? \n\nSee now that should be a religion.

You mean like you and all your "questions" regarding religion.  You repeat and repeat the same stuff.  Most people aren't closed minded and stubborn ...I think they are just tired of hearing the same old stuff from you.

I don't think anyone ever said that you can't talk about religion.  You are not supposed to make laws based on religious beliefs.  If we did that, very little would have changed in our country's history.  I agree with you on the Ten Commandments thing.  I think you may be preaching to the choir, so to speak.  But as they say, "The sqeaky wheel gets the grease."  That doesn't make it right, though.  I don't see a question here, so don't be surprised if you get reported for ranting, because you aren't really supposed to do that here.

"Forgive them Father for they know not what they do." is a really great thesis ......... but can someobody tell me how the hell am i going to learn if i don't ask? Only fools don't ask.\n\nI believe in God, but still there are so many issues i don't understand, not just about my religion - others too (i respect each and everyone's religious choices and i want to learn about them ..... if for nothing else, then at least for the sake of debate).\n\nOne more thing, in islam we are always ordered to inquire and search for answers, we are encouraged to seek knowledge and no one will stop me but God Himself.\n\nNow, you have a nice day - great question indeed :)

If you want to ask a question, ask a question.  This is not the place for your preaching.

It depends on how the question is worded and what its about. If I know the answer, and I see that the person asking the question hasn't received the answer, then I might answer it. Because for me this thing is an open form, plus I don't have anything against any "group" so if my answer is honest and factual, hey, its OK to post it. On the other hand, there are questions that are either loaded or matters of the heart based on a particular faith. Those I mostly leave alone, especially the loaded ones, figuring that they don't really want an honest answer or that they honestly need a heart answer from someone like-minded. But, that's just me. ~ Peace & Blessings ~

I believe it is because so many questions come from USA where most people are religious, go to church and are puzzled by what information they receive there.  Clearly their concerns are not answered by their priest etc.  In Australia only 1% of the population attends church regularly so there is not the concern about religious matters, and therefore not the steady flow of questions of this type

just keep remaining quiet,  usually if people know you have a view point on something especially religion they will debate you on it...thats why i stay away from those types of subjects......

You really shouldn't have to ask this question.

If a person believes a religion without questioning it, they will be easily deceived. Questioning your religion is a good thing! That is how you discover the truth.\nI'm not the kind of person who does something just because someone tells me to do it. I need to know why.

No, these questions would go where they fit, in the mythology and folklore section. There's only a separate section for religion because people would get offended if there weren't. Personally I would be back answering computer and internet questions without this section, most likely. That's where the first five hundered or so of my answers are. Did quite well there. In fact I'll likely go back there at some point anyway, stay there for a while, then come back here, rinse, repeat. They both interest me.

Q:  What do you call a dead atheist? ...\n\nA:   Nothing

I guess it is quite fine. I mean if someone asked my religion I would not be offended. However, it is important not to insult people because of their religion or not having a religion.

You are just going to have to ask, as this is a very personal thing most people do not talk about their religious beliefs

Several of us will pop up when we see the word Jewish, Judaism, Torah, etc. in the question.  I for example just found your question by putting the word "Jewish" in the search for open questions.  I used to scroll through all the questions but that has become too tedious lately and I don't answer on Christian or general Bible matters because I have no need to impose my beliefs on anyone else. \n\nPersonally I think it's time there were subcategories under R&S, so that we can all have a forum to discuss things without constantly being interrupted by people who are not respectful.  To me that's like someone going into a section on mathematics and saying "i hate math".  If you don't like the topic, just stay away.  For example when someone asks a question about Jesus, I don't think it's necessary for someone atheist to comment, "he's a figment of your imagination" and by the same token I as a Jew, would NOT comment "he's not the messiah" even if that's what I believe.  I don't feel it's my place and it is not relevant to the question being asked. Everyone has a right to their beliefs and I don't need to chime in with my opinion every two seconds.  In fact the ones who do this are probably insecure with their belief systems and feel a need to be loud about it.   \n\nAnd for questions asked about Judaism I only answer the ones asked respectfully.  You can tell when someone really wants to know or they just want to spout their own prejudices and are not open to answers. If you scroll through my answers you can see I have answered many questions on Judaism that were asked in a thoughtful and respectful manner.\n\nWell, I hope that answers your question somewhat... :)

No, because some questions go directly to beliefs.  Why should someone have to leave their beliefs at the door.  It immpossible
