Pointless, I just got two points. \nTruth defeats lies.\nSome times God's Word says it better.\nIf you don't want to read truth, don't.\nInsult away, what's more insulting to me is people are Biblically illiterate. One percent of the questions are decent.\n\nWhy does your avatar have a mean look?

Hi, I have constantly asked the same question and have advised Christians on this forum to leave these questions alone, to not even click on them as they will only disturb their peace.\nin this way all those who post vile comments will finally be wasting their time as no reaction is unfulfilling to them.

Nice book. (If you’re a sadist)\n\n\n(edit)\nWhy would the old testament be in the book if this god decided to change his cruel, voilent and hatefull ways. Then you shouldn't present the old testament to me. If I tell you "Hey man, here is the word or GOD, the creator of all the universe! He is all-knowing, all-powerful and all-present!!!! ..But why then is there a part in his word that doesn't apply to our time?? I thought he is all-present which would mean his word will be timeless.

What a load of crap...to mock the father almighty by childish imitation. Have you ever even seen a bible?

Son,you know that to be not true\n\nSpare us your stupidity and refrain from making even more of a jackass out of yourself.\n\nThis insult is very lame because an eight year old can come up with something better than this to get attention.\n\n\nI mean,even the heaviest christian bashers on this forum would call this one weak compared to their onsluaght.

It is hardly surprising that jokes at the expense of Christians will occur when the more evangelical and fundamentalist of their kind are constantly using this site to make propaganda to argue against Darwinism and to promote uncritical belief in the Bible as being literally true, and do so, not just in the Religion and Spirituality category but in many other categories as well, such that it is hard to get away from them.\n\nUnsurprisingly, this annoys people who come here to debate ideas not get propaganda shoved down their throat. They feel harassed, and indeed, they are right. They are being harassed. Unsurprisingly, there is then a backlash,\n\nPerhaps the question could have been more precise as to which Christians were felt to be less than useful to other users of this site, and why, but the humour in the question is self-evident to all but the humourless.\n\nThis is not however preaching hate or intolerance agaunst a religious group, like the questioner recently who asked if Muslims should be killed at birth. That question was hastily removed by the Yahoo Answers team.\n\nThis is satire, sending people up not blowing people up, and it was to protect just this sort of material that Rowan Atkinson came out so strongly against the Race and Religious Hatred Bill and in favour of Artistic Freedom of Expression.

I read many regardless of length. However the ones that appear to be cut and paste I'll skip.  You will find this is the case in many bible related questions. The respondent will sometimes just paste a bunch of biblical verses in an effort to support their point.  It doesn't work. I don't waste time reading them.

I have found some answers to be shockingly intolerant -- particularly when it comes to the Muslim faith, you seem to get a lot of so-called believers spouting off hate-filled nonsense.\n\nBut if you're just talking about people expressing a belief that they sincerely have ... it starts to walk a finer line then, doesn't it? One of the things I find I differ the most with mainstream Christians on is that I don't believe that the Bible is a literal history book. I believe much of it is metaphorical, meant to be read in a way to discern the essence of and ways of God. It is not meant to be read as literally the history of the Earth. I suppose that makes my belief "intolerant" of those who believe in the literal Bible because I refuse to give up what I believe and turn to what they believe. But I am respectful of others' views; I don't tell them they're ignorant. I respectfully present my argument and move on. \n\nSo I think the problem is more a lack of respect than a lack of "tolerance." Tolerance by its very nature really implies giving up your personal views to conform to a whole, which is the antithesis of many people's faith. I also find many folks on here to be quite sanctimonious, which is quite funny to me. I'm no angel, and I can admit it, but I try to live the good life. I wouldn't dream of coming on here and preaching to others in cyberspace how much better I am than them, and I would never presume to know who will and won't be going to a warmer clime when they shuffle off this mortal coil. That's really not for me to decide or even speculate on, yet I see so many Christians "playing God" round here for lack of a better term.  sheesh.

Proof that our "friend" is a hypocrite and a mental case, see above.\n\nI ask myself every time I read the Bible, what does this mean FOR me.

Amen Christy! You've got a fire about you in this post, you sure you're not meant to be a preacher? Joking.\nI agree 100%. Forums like this always seem to bring out the bottom feeders. Then we end up with people screaming in frustration, "all you Christians are a bunch of jerks!" or "all you atheists are stupid!"\nThe BIG problem on this site is when a troll comes on here posting something controversial, people reward them by arguing back. Then you ask a serious question, and you get 5 or 6 answers. \nIf we really want the fighting to stop, both sides need to speak up and condemn those who are rude. Nonbelievers need to start speaking against rude atheists who call Christians names. Christians need to start rebuking uneducated Christians who give bad answers.\nAnd please, for the love of God, if you don't have an answer for an honest question, simply don't reply to it. Enough with the snide remarks that don't give the asker any help.

I didn't bother reading it because I feel fairly certain that you're reading those verses out of context and without any understanding of either the author's intent or the underlying theological framwework of the ancient Israelites.\n\nUpdate: I have now read it and am entirely certain that you're reading those verses out of context and without any understanding of either the author's intent or the underlying theological framwework of the ancient Israelites.

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...

Freedom of speech, dude.\n\nI feel where you're coming from - I'm Agnostic, and there are surely a bunch of bible-thrusting preachers in this site - but it's still their right. More power to 'em.\n\n♥

That is a very beautiful quote....\nIt is fine just the way you typed it, but, yes, the source should go first...not that it matters, it is the substance of the quote that is important.\nThank you for posting this great Bible quote...\nI really needed it this morning!

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 read it....plus when you ask Questions about Jesus or God, what do you expect? Christians not to quote the Bible? Do you expect people not to defend themselves?\nChristians beleive in the word of God. \nSo the will stand by that word.\n\nWhen I post a question, that is not even about Atheism, Atheists post their opinion anyway, and it dosent bother me, I still read their contrbution and often apreciate it, when it is constructive. Everybody is entitled to their opinion whatever it may be.

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?
