why is it that every religous question has all these answers from people who just dont believe? if you truly did not believe then the subject wouldnt even matter to you, your participation only shows your underlying interest in something you know to be true but are refusing to accept. so please stop being hatefull in a category that is about love and kindness.

Firstly, I recon atheists don't want to face up to the fact that they can't make it without a Savior. Secondly, they prefer the idea that in the end they will not be held accountable for their actions. Thirdly, atheists practice a religion - by faith they believe in no God - a convenient way to give irresponsibility the thumbs-up.\n\nHere's a reality check for atheists: You will only be set free by the truth. You need to accept Jesus as you Savior, ask His forgiveness and repent. Then you'll know freedom! Guaranteed!

Okay, there are really a lot of smarties out there. This isn't a 'Christian' site, but I knew what you meant. We are in the Religion section and you are asking a religious question, so why do these atheist morons have to get in and disrupt and adult conversation??? Psa 14:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Come on lymber1,I know it can get frustrating sometimes as a Christian trying to tell the truth of GOD.........But you know that calling people who don't believe,ignorant,is not the way to spread the truth of GOD,doing that will only drive them further away from GOD\n\nI know how you feel,but we must approach them from another angle the way JESUS did\n\nCraig,before you judge other peoples grammar,look at your own...."realize"not"realise\n\nhttp://www.gotquestions.org

If I am not mistaken, I don't think this was a generalization made that all non-beilievers are mean spirited and cruel.  (At least I hope not)  I think that each religion gets misunderstood at one time by those not of that religion, and some people just don't know how to address what they don't understand. There are those that do.  They respect the fact that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.  I am a Christian, I believe, but i do not force my beliefs on anyone. i may share something about God, but I cannot judge anyone if they do not believe--and I don't think we should judge and ridicule each other.

Amen. I couldn't have said it better myself, Christian here.  I believe why not let the other person believe, think what they want, I never push Religion on anyone.  If they act interested or curious, I let them lead me into the discussion.  And I try my hardest to be polite, but I do have my days, I think every one does now and then.

Faith is belief without proof. I can't speak for all Christians, but I don't think I'm any better than anybody else. For that matter, I don't KNOW that I picked the right religion, I just believe I did. Can't prove it, can't disprove it, I just believe it. I do agree with some of the "idiots" that CONSTANTLY question religion, though. Some of the pseudo-christians on here are more conceited than saved.

I don't understand why people answer Question on subjects that don't interest them and bash the person for asking.I'm not a fan of the religious Q's. So I just don't answer them.Please don't let these small minded people change your thinking. Where would we be if Jesus gave up because of persecution.

People get enthusiastic about talking about their faith, or talking about an issue that seems to involve their set of beliefs. It just so happens God is a hot topic, espeically on these boards. Part of the problem may be (and i have to admit i dont know what your questions were) no feels they know enough to answer your questions. Much like most people on here id imagine, i try and answer questions that i think i can have some benefit to the asker. If your questions were either too specific or about an area no one felt comfortable answering (other than the wiki paste) then that might be why.

They are looking for affirmation.  If someone who is a non-believer posts something that they can poke holes threw it gives them self-justification in their own beliefs.  Of course, you already knew that ;)

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 agree. Many times on this site, I'll see a good question, and then some well intentioned Christian say, "you just have to have faith," or "faith isn't about logic."  It's quite irritating.  I know I have so much to learn and am ignorant myself, but it seems like some people check their brains at the door when it comes to faith. God wants us to love him with all our minds as well.  \n\nRejecting worldy wisdom doesn't mean we're supposed to be ignorant.

Have to love christians - follow god or you will suffer for eternity. Please, give us a break with all of your religious crap. Nothing like trying to scare people into believeing something.

I don't get why atheists come to the religion category either! What do they care if we believe? I think ppl who do not have the comfort of a religious life r envious of those who do. In their bitterness, they attack.

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.

Don't give up, I have found that your questions are very good and not one-sided. They make us think. I am a Christian and you give me things to think about. It actually helps me to be more open minded which I sometimes struggle with because I do see so much hate on here. I don't think it is the religion on its own. What society sees is only the bad side of religion and harps on that constantly. It doesn't show the good side at all.

Man, loaded but great question.\n\nThere is not enough truth to convince people of anything they don't want to believe when it comes to God.  Its a faith based system, by his design.  Ever asked yourself why faith?\n\nBecause to truely put our faith in God, seeing him from a lost perspective, requires that we set aside our "me" mentality.  We have to put our faith in this thing we don;t understand based on information that seems less than convincing (from a lost perspective.)  But this all important step is all that is asked of us.\n\nBetter to pray the spirit call to a person's heart and start working on them to ask questions, than to seek truth to convince those who have already decided they want nothing to do with God.  We are truely powerless over others is swaying their beliefs.  All we can hope for is to plant seeds and allow the spirit to go to work.\n\nread through some of the posts on here.  Its CRAZy.  People are daring you to "make them believe" in God.  Its not possible.  It wasn;t meant to be possible.  Its a faith based thing.  Free Will + Faith = Individual Decision.\n\nI know I didn't answer your question directly, but trying to accumulate enough knowledge to "win souls" will be a really frustrating endeavor that will ultimately bring you back to realizing The Holy Spirit does ALL the work in a salvation experience.

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.
