I think it's stupid. I also hate that if you tick someone off with an answer they don't like, they can report you for no reason at all. This forum should be FUN, and some people ruin it for others.\nI think if someone is offended by a question or answer, he should just AVOID it!!

Not really. If you are blunt and honest with people that can be a great quality to possess. People will know that you do not sugar coat things and that you tell them exactly how you feel. Some people are overly sensitive and cant handle critism.  if they dont want to hear your honest opinion then they should nt ask. In that respect maybe people are conditioned to think that by asking someone their opinion they are going to lie to them to make them feel better. Good for you in breaking the stereotypical view of what should and how something should be said.

The problem is not with you, it is with those who interpret your question in a wrong way. Some answer positively and some do not. So, why do you think this is so? It just simply shows that people have different interpretation on how questions are being raised. But I think you have made your point but don't expect that it will change everything because there will always be a different understanding and different opinions.

This is because some people just don't think.\n\nPersonally if there is an offencive question i don't answer, and report it, but only if it has some thing to do with harming people, anything else isn't my problem.\n\nIf there's is a question that offends me, i just don't answer it. Simple.\n\nSome people need an ego boost, and if they need the Internet to do it there pretty dumb!

Unfortunately, the majority of people in this forum who question the Christian faith design their "questions" to be extremely inflammatory - they're looking for the reaction, to offend; not for a reasonable dialogue. Not everyone excells at letting such things roll off their back.\n\naddition: see some of the above responses to your question to see what I mean

Just like the first answer said. "They are offended by people shoving religion down their throat."\nNow that's funny. If you don't want to hear about religion, why are you in the R&S category?

Man you are coming with some good questions!! People that keep their minds in little small boxes are scared to see the big truth. They are comfortable in their little box, full of narrow mindness and ignoarance. You are absolutely right my freind, when you tell people something that goes against what they have learned or even better, things that they don't know, they get so offended and take it personal!! How can people love to be in denial!??! Doesn't it remind you of the narrowed minded people that were told that the Earth was round and the public killed them!?!?

I get these comments too (on issues outside of religion mostly).  Some things are just a matter of opinion and no one has the right to insult people on the basis of their opinions.  I just brush them aside as pathetic people with nothing better to do than bash on people that they disagree with.

Your observation is correct.  Religion is such a hot issue or topic that strikes a raw nerve in many.  Perhaps, it is because people fear of what they don't know.\n\nIt depends on your perspective and also on the perspective of those who post and answer questions on this thread of Religion and Spirituality.  \n\nThis may both test us and them.  As for me, I learn from the questions and answers that others post.  There are many who really don't understand the Bible and a lot more who don't even visit any church.  They ask people they don't know at Yahoo Answer because it is a forum of ideas, where you usually can't even get in any church.  Don't mind those picking a fight.  Don't be angry, since you don't know them anyway.  Let it be a learning experience for you regarding what makes others tick, why some think so and others believe another.\n\nI do find that the others post plain questions that have been bothering them.  So I may answer a question or two based on what I've learned so far; but I don't shove it on their throat.  Just an exchange of ideas.  No "I-know-it-all" or "I'm-right-you're-wrong" attitude.\n\nJust remember to treat everyone with respect, even when a little bite is necessary.

Because some people just like to answer a question for the sack of answering and have fun. They are not interested at the details but just their own opinion...

Why is this question in the Love and Romance section?  Don't they have a nosy section?\nThere are 2 main reasons people answer those questions.\n1.  They want to ridicule, or make fun of, the person asking the question.\n2.  They really care about other people, and hope they can give another viewpoint, or some insight into the problem.

I'm the type of person who truly believes in people respecting the privacy of others, and in minding their own business.\n\nI, too, have read negative comments on various cultures and religions, and some of them are very cruel.  I would  prefer to learn about the activities of others, rather than go with negative thoughts about things which I have no knowledge.\n\nWhat's making it hard for people on this site, is that they are made to feel that they have to "defend themselves" from all the negative, and bigoted questions and answers.

I agree with you... the questions they ask and their responses it really makes me upset. Some people actually need mature ANSWERS.

People like answers, not questions.  Answers make sense of something unstable and bring order to that instability.  If you question something, you are doing so for your own sake, but at the same time you are necessarily (though probably not intentionally) challenging someone else's sense of stability/security (since that other person would see no reason for his/her belief system to be questioned).  You're not meaning to hurt anybody else, but it's just that too many people cannot easily face a disturbance to their beliefs; they view the one who asks the question as the problem.

I've been told I was upset.  For me it's not being upset, it's having questions.  Since Christians are the majority here it makes no sense for one to ask many questions about other religions as they would just get scrolled over.  Even questions about Christianity that require actual knowledge or thought get scrolled over, so most questions end up being either funny or blatant attacks.  It seems that is the only way to get heard.
