Why, when I ask a Question about Christianity, do I get loads of irelevent, evolution denial?

in a sense you have answered your question,  denial.  they intentionally deny the existence of something they know is real. their heart tells them that they are wrong so they feel the need to outwardly express their opinion to believers. it makes them feel better about their denial of the truth.

well..first of all its important to remember religion IS a VERY sensitive and personal matter to talk about and discuss. so i guess it only natural for people to be defensive about it. not only for christian, but for any religion and believes.\nthat's why i think we should be really careful and sensitive in posing Q and A in this topic. Especially if its not about yours. \nin critical matter...guess its just part of our curiosity towards the whole thing. sort of our way to understand and  find believe, by relating it to the facts an evidences .and i strongly believe no one have the right to be rude about it!

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.

Not all the categories are like that. I have asked many questions about science, law, history, etc and gotten lots of good information.\nBut, as the others pointed out, this is the religious forum. And for every religious zealot, there is another atheistic zealot ready to pounce on them. It goes back and forth.\nI come here for the few honest questions that get posed. And sometimes I'm able to give helpful answers or advice. But I have to admit, I do get sucked into answering the stupid questions along the way.\nIs there some kind of "Yahoo Answerer Anonymous"?

U appear confused about not only religion but also what you wish to ask. Please prioritize

Nothing. It's something you can't understand unless you believe. I can't understand how people believe but I have to accept that they do. Trying to control what christians believe and endeavouring to get them to change their minds about evolution is making yourself just as bad the people who preach that you're sinner and going to burn in hell and that you were made out of clay in the form of an intangible being.\nLet is fly. Freedom of thought, freedom of expression. If you're for it youcan't control it. xxx

Sweetie, i tell you, that upsets me too!!! It's upsetting, I put a question, where i put"Christians" only. People got offended, im not a mean person, it was just a question for followers of God. \n\nWhatever! LONG LIVE GOD!

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.

Ok, that is creepy.  I mean, it has absolutely nothing at all to do with the question.  For those of you having a hard time understanding why some of us are so fed up with the bible bashing types of Christians, this is a prime example.  For those Christians who answer questions in an honest, productive manner, I'm sorry that these people get lumped in with you.  This is a level of zealotry which scares me to no end.   And before our usual band of zealots jumps on that statement.  No, I'm not scared because I fear "the truth" or because I'm afriad you're right.  I'm scared because the mentally unsound are cutting it pretty close and I wonder what they're going to do next.\n\nTo answer your original question, give me a pint of Guiness, please!  Actually, I don't drink much, but I think I'll one when I get home.

It's very amusing how SO many of the answers you've gotten reflect the "You're right!  They're so closed-minded to the truth!  No one should question 'god!'"  Which highlights your point beautifully.  It's exactly those people who answered that way that ask these questions and don't want any answer other than affirmation of theit beliefs.  \n\nIt's usually pretty obvious who's genuinely asking a question, who's just preaching, and who's looking for a fight.  But sometimes you get taken by surprise.  It's very frustrating when you answer a question directed at people of your faith (Like 'why are there atheists on the R&S section?' or 'why does "x" religion believe that "x"?"), only to have the asker pick "Because those people are dumb" as an answer.  Then you wondered why you bothered taking the time to answer.  The asker obviously didn't want a real answer anyway.  \n\nAnyway, it can't be helped. *shrugs*  There will always be idiots out there.

I'm sure a lot of them are. But I also notice a lot of questions that are a thinly veiled attempt to promote christianity. I'd say there's probably a connection between the two things.

Well said Carina!\n\nI'd recommend you read a little more about Deism.\n\nUPDATE:\nIn fact the very mention of your questioning religion...and see the type of responses you got. You are a humanitarian, and have spoken your honest (peaceful) mind, but people lash out with murderous vengeance!

"Believers" are not seekers.  They don't ask questions.  They don't "inquire".  They just sit back in their comfy chairs and accept.  "Belief" is the lazy-boy of consciousness.\n\n"Comfort + Unconscious choices = Entropy"  Then, the moment you decide to ask a question, to get up from the lazy-boy, they hit you with a shot of "FAITH", which, like a tranquilizer, knocks you right back into the chair of belief.\n\nIf you believed your teachers more than your parents or church, would evolution be true?  No!  You'd just believe that it was!  And the same is true for religion.  Just because you "believe" that it's true doesn't make it so.  You could "believe" that you can sprout wings and fly like a bird.  The PROOF would be in your jumping off a mountain.  Let me spare you the splat:  you can't, so don't even think about it.\n\nGo live your life.  Have experiences.  Your church has you so focused on the "afterlife" that you may completely miss the life you're in right now!  Let your experience be your guide.  Live each moment fully.  \n\nI wish you Peace.

Because they are hoping against hope that if they keep asking the question enough times, the evolutionist's answer will magically change from the correct one that they don't like (ie common ancestor/separate chain) to the one they wished were true (oh my gosh, I guess we've all been wrong about evolution all along).\n\nEven hardcore ID sites have stated that the "why are monkeys still around" is NOT a valid counterargument to evolution, and have asked Christians to stop using it. \n\nBut for Christians who want to participate in the evolution debate without actually doing any research/study/thinking it fits the bill--it's short, catchy, easy to remember and as evolutionists get fed up with answering it 500 times a day and start ignoring it,  the creationists will pretend that it's because they have stumped the enemy, rather than the fact that no-one can be bothered to answer such piffle anymore.

This is why I am agnostic.  There were just too many unanswered questions for me.  And there was a lot of hypocracy, especially in my congregation.  What's the point of *saying* you believe something when you actually don't?

You are correct in your thinking Jim,  when you get to a certain level of understanding here it is no longer possible to exchange ideas.  Both sides understand each other and both sides understand that they are directly opposed to each other..  What is there to exchange?  One can start bashing or belittleing, but once you come to the understanding then the real talking is over..  Christians can interact with other christians or debate new people that come on the forum but the old timers have done that.  The same for the evolutionists, they know the old timers and only some new christian can be debated..  \nI would boil it down to  BIBLE IS TRUTH CAMP  & EVOLUTION IS TRUTH CAMP  \nNot much left to debate..\nI see others trying to promote a middle ground, but once your mind is made up (on either side) then no middle ground is possible.  So anyway you are correct.

I find it hard to comment on this, because it is clever, well scripted and I suspect the questioner at some point had a belief in the Christian faith. I would agree with all your assertions, taking hombrage with the claim that you created earth. God is in all of us and are all of us. Ambiguous messages from organised religion are the bane of humanity.
