for any of you who ask stupid questions like this to try and disprove our faith as Christains, let me say this to you/ask you...\nThis question is basically a trap... no matter what you say.  it's like asking Can God lie?  come one people... how about this...Can you make a rock at all?  how do you like that for a stupid question.  and i'm tired of people putting Christians in thier little boxes.  if you see a christian who lies/cheats/steals/commits adultry, etc... then that person is not a true christian.  it's okay, don't be afraid to point them out and tell them that they're ruining the christian name.  that's perfectly fine.  but not all christians are like that.  some of us don't just do it for a name, we actually care and abide by what Christ says.  tell me what you think...

Actually, this question is easily answered by bible doctrine. NO, God cannot. There are many things God can't do. Who ever said God can do anything? God can't hate, at least not literally. God can only "hate" in the sense of an anthropopathic analogy, such as when He was said to "hate" Esau. God can't lie, break a promise, die, hurt, be sad, allow a saved person to enter Hell, allow an unsaved person to enter heaven, or fail to provide logistical grace support to a believer. God can't be unjust, wrong, weak,  stupid, not present, and He cannot change. He cannot fall in love( because He is love 24/7). \n\nBasically God cannot do anything that would violate His essence. His essence is Sovereignty, Righteousness, Justice, Eternal Life, Love, Omniscience, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Immutability, And Truth. These 10 characteristics describe perfectly the 3 members of the Trinity, and no one else. I'm glad God is bound by who He is.\n\nYou don't need to defend yourself against Christian bashers. God is not worried about them or threatened by them, why should you be? Keep the Faith, Bro!

What is ridiculously funny on Yahoo Q & A is any type of abuse from Christians.Not only do they never have there facts right but make such idiots of themselves in the process:)

Yes Anxius, you are right about Christian faith : it is essentially blind.  The lady above me who teaches bible to kids, in the process teaches them how to bluff themselves.  There's usually a way round hard questions which is made to sound righteous but which is really dishonest.  If even such a way cannot be found, Christians are told that it's a "Christian mystery" : that one is impossible to beat, and if you try, and continue to ask irreverent and blasphemous(!) questions, you will not be welcome in the class.\nIt's even more restrictive in the mosque.\nIs it different in the synagogue?\nDon't get me wrong folks - I am a little black, but still one of the sheep.

I think it is horrible that people of any faith would post such nasty comments. I am a believer in God, but do not call myself a Christian. I have had bad experiences with them like yours. These people are not being very good Christians as they are going against a lot of what the bible teaches, ie tolerance and not judging others. You should ignore these people and keep asking questions. It is how we learn and understand.

great post, ranger.\n\nanother thing, too.  christians have difficulty admitting they are a cult.  they are a cult, that's true.\n\nand you are right.  this country was not based on christianity, or the Framers would have declared that in all of those instruments you described.  at least one of them!  \n\nit's amazing where chrisitians "claim" to see christianity, even where it doesn't exist!!\n\nthe idiot, above, who said "you have a self-esteem issue yourself" simply because you posed this question -- he just proved part of your point for you.  these people never cease to amaze me.  i can hardly wait to see how many call you "angry" just for posting these facts.  they'll try to make you look bad, so they can look better, in their own eyes.\n\nsome idiots will come back and try to say "this country is over 2/3 christian" blah blah blah...\n\nwell, guess what?  this country is mostly WHITE.  so, is the US a "White Country"??  get real, you morons!!!\n\nanother thing -- before you clueless cows come on here yakking about "IGWT" on our currency (and "under god" in the pledge of allegiance), let's rememebr it never showed up on our currency until the McCarthy-paranoia of the 1950's.  The comment in the pledge was also added in the 1950's.  Also, IGWT was only placed on a very few US coins right after the Civil War, almost 100 years after the country's founding.  So, that's also an invalid argument.  These things came later!\n\nI already predict that people will lie and claim that most of the Framers were xians.  And then, they'll use "quotes" from madison and jefferson and many others -- quotes that these Framers NEVER QUOTED and that you will not find anywhere in the Smithsonian.  These are all quotes that have been re-edited by Falwell and Co. to make things "look christian".  Been there, done that.  Keep trying, folks.  Like Ranger, I feel sorry for you for needing to go to such lengths to make your religion look better.  It's too bad that you must lie like that!

Good point!  I'll check out who to ask about this.\n\nWhere is the "Tell us what you think"?\n\nI found it!  http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/answers/cgi_feedback\n\nI get the other points on here about how people will want further sub-categorization and the concern about general questions.  But there seems to be a lot I've read today wanting Christians out of here.  I'm willing to be moved to another location.  People are still going to be curious and peek over there.  And taunt us.  But they can't complain that we're ruining "their" spirituality section.

I didn't see your other questions, but they do tend to be full of hostility.  Perhaps you should switch over to decaf...\n\nI have though seen a lot of questions that have been rather... well questionable... some reported multiple times that have not been deleted, so I think there are so many reports of abuse thay may not catch all of them.  You were just lucky enough to be chosen.\n\nAnd calling Christians followers is an insult... thats also a Yahoo no-no.  Maybe you need to read the rules so they won't kill any more of your questions.

I must tell you that it saddens me to hear that your experiences with Christianity have left you disenchanted with the whole thing. As a "christian" I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to you for any thing that anyone who calls themselves a christian has done to hurt or anger you.\n  I would like to say that i agree with one of the other posts in the fact that not everyone who calls themselves christian truly knows Jesus Christ.  You see "Christianity" has become just another religion where we humans try to reach God on our own terms.  That's where all the "bible thumping" comes from.  Jesus is Gods attempt to reach us humans through His love, unfortunately most Christians never fully experience His love and therefore can never love themselves.  They think that by being super zealous for the laws that God has set for us, and "taking a stand" for what they believe that they will some how please god more.  The bible teaches that we can do nothing to please God, outside of having a relationship with His son Jesus Christ.\n\nI would be honored to share with you how you can truly experience Gods love if you want.\n\n\np.s.  I didn't get the stamp of approval from my church or minister but that's OK cause I AM one of the ministers!:)\n\ncrazy that one of us guys would read something that challenged Christianity huh?  Hope i am up to the challenge

This website is not serious. At least not in the way you think. This is an elaborate parody or satire about Christianity. The person(s) responsible for the site must have strong feelings against Christianity in specific or religion in general to put out this kind of effort to ridicule people of faith. The humor is subtle on the pages I looked at and I would assume that it is throughout. Their intention is to make people believe that they really ARE Christians and to stir up anti-Christian sentiment. Yes, there are some Christians who DO believe in a lot of what is said on this site, but this site is not legitimate. Many Christians are ignorant, hateful, and frankly, stupid, but not all or even most of them. This is not the first site I have seen like this. I can say all this confidently because I have been a Christian for 23 years and I can tell the difference between a wacko Christian and a well constructed mockery.\n\nOkay, I looked at the site some more and some of the satire is not subtle at all! This is a joke people. Whoever did this site is not a Christian.

Interesting how so many people quote a different part of the bible without dealing with the fact that there is a clear contradictino here.\n\nTHis guy posted a verse that says basically, ask and you shall receive. Not "I'll think about it", but you shall receive.  And you all quote verses saying "not so fast".  Well, which is it? Can we move mountains with faith? Only if it's for a good cause? What?

I think that a good portion of the Christians who ask and answer questions on this site seem to have bias. Which is fine, if they're asking a question that pertains to their religion. It stops making sense once they ask the 'non-believers' if we'll 'enjoy going to hell' and other such non-questions. But, I'll have to agree with you. Most of the Christan asked questions about the non-believers usually claim a close minded answer the 'best'. Which leads me to believe that they're just looking to justify their own opinions among their heard and are not actually looking to learn about how other people view the world. Thus leading me to the conclusion that people like that shouldn't bother wasting their question points on things like that. :)

I'm a Christian and all but, that's just plain...idiotic I would never play something like that. What's the point? \n\nAnd no, it makes absolutely no sense. These people are simply stupid and hypocritical. God, or any other religion for that matter shouldn't promote killing in the name of God--in the name of anything. \n\nSheesh, these are the type of people that make Christians look bad. They aren't true Christians. They are deluded morons who are so stuck in their saintly appearances to the point of figuring out ways of entertaining fellow Christians through crazy games. I don't know. Maybe it's just me. But, you're right. It's stupid. And sort of spoof like. I would imagine South Park doing something like that.\n\nLol. If you think that's bad check this guy out:\nhttp://www.truechristian.com/ \n\nHe's clearly lost his marbles.

I couldn't agree more.  I'm getting tired of all of the sermons ans scriptures made to look like questions.  It's completely ridiculous.  There are some good Christian people here who don't do those things.  They're usually the first ones to speak up when the bible pushers start too.  These people give the entire faith a bad name.\n\nOh, and don't even get me started on the ones who post scripture and sermons in all caps.  \n\nOne more of my pet peeves, those who answer questions about other religions with "Find Jesus", "I'll pray for you" or "You worship Satan."  Give me a freaking break already!   Do they honestly think they're helping their faith by acting like this?

It's sad you cannot post a question without being attacked by Christians that claim  to adhere to the words of the Bible, particularly "Judge ye that not be Judged" and "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." These so-called Christians should be ashamed for not allowing you to express your different Point of view in an open forum.  I think an even better point to make for these individuals who are willing to attack you in such a juvenile way is to quote my Kindergarten teacher “If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all." May whichever god you choose, even if it’s none, bless you all.

I know the point you're trying to get across to people but I don't think the right way to show people a loving God is to call them dumb. As Christians we're not here to judge others, we're here to love others. So pray for those who don't believe in God and guide them to the Lord through your example.

good point you make...i agree...keep questioning God...don't let these so called christians tell you that you will "go to hell" for asking...  God wants us to find him however we can...don't be a follower but a leader and ask ask away....

Why is is so easy to pick on Christians for their beliefs and not others for their non belief?  There are hypocrites everywhere, not just in religion.  I am sorry that you had a bad experience with one Christian, but as one myself, I get really tired of everyone grouping people into one category based on one experience.  I suppose I could go around and make ignorant judgements on every type of people because of one instance, but why not just accept that there are people that really do take the word to heart and practice the living proofs of the Bible?!  I can't make everyone else do it, but I know that I live my life according to Christ's teachings.
