your question is answered to an extent by PUMA. \n\nthere are questions about hinduism too. Some of your answerers to this question have also been asking about it.\n\nOften they use quite insulting things or just ignorant like that seeker above. \n\nhinduism is a collection of various kind of philosophies. It is neither as well defined doctrine as christianity nor as politically determined as islam.tolerance is its fundamental quality. The result is that askers do not get much furl to go on.\n\n hinduism is around since the first harrapan civilization came up. its roots go even beyond it. Such an old tradition is more like a grandpa. let the children argue and fight. grandpa has got more matured for that.\n\nRegarding seeker's post:\n\nwell I usually try to use nice language but... the seeker above is an idiot.\n\nhindus are not only free to ask questions, they are free to choose doctrines or parts of it. open debates were encouraged even in vedic times. if i believe in god i am hindu. if i do not even them i am hindu. \n\nnobody is ever condemn to hell and hindus never percecuted anybody for theiur religious beliefs. buddhism, jainism , sikhism all are off shoots of himnduism. it is always ready to accept new theories which have logical proofs. it never challanged any scientific theory.\n\nAnd no cow is not a god.

There are a large number of people who have converted (or reverted as it's refered to by Islam), it is one of the fastest growing faiths presently.  Faith is something that is very personal, and specific to the individual.  If they feel that Christianity isn't the right mode to connect with their spirituality, then they most certainly should go forward and look for one that helps them connect better.  It's very easy to be disenchanted with Christianity right now, and Islam is presented as an alternative.  Do I think they are crazy, no.  It's not my place to call anyone crazy for their beliefs.  Everyone is entitled to do what gives them peace, regardless of my personal view of that thing.

Im one of Jehovah Witnesses and I know what you are talking about. I ask a question and people start telling me what my faith believes, and most of the time they are soooo far off. It just bugs me that people hear from other people and automatically believe its true instead of asking the person who would know the truth.

There are hundreds of religions, and most of them claim that all of the others are wrong.\n\nTake your pick.

Much of the christian world is in the dark about islam. Christianity is not a religion that accepts those who do not believe in the same religion. Too many people know too little about other religions, and than make ignorant statements about what they do not know.

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.

No.  I ask the questions to which I want to know the answer.  I ask them once.  My questions have nothing to do with my own faith/religion or lack thereof.  They mostly have to do with my ignorance of other religions.

We think your religion is wrong (and sometime absurd). As for the people themselves, we think many of you are nice people with the major exception of missionaries (especially j4j types) and those who teach antisemitism.\n\ncheerio

I respect every religion out there, because it is amazing to see humans believe in something so completely, be it Christianity, Islam (which by the way does not in any way say to torture people, that is not a command in the Qur'an, just like the Bible did not tell the Christians to torture and kill  as they so fervently did during the crusades.

8:42 in the morning here in Holland.  But I see your point.  There are a lot of repetative questions in the religious section.  They dont look it up in the search box yahoo left for us so we see alot of the same thing over and over again.

It's shame to see such level of immaturity in a section about Religion & Spirituality. We are here for having dialougues about the different beliefs of people round the globe, to understand each other so we accept each other. I'm not against logical debates, and have no problem when some one comes and say you Muslims, how comes you think Quran has not been changed for 1400 years, if he has a logical reasoning. I'll be glad to discuss & debate. But to come and see a child posting: Muslims are pigs, Muslims are moon worshipers, Muslims are blah blah!\n\nWhat can I say! I consider myself more mature than to deal with such childish acts.\n\nThanks for the topic, and I know majority don't agree with those few kids.

Just looked thru' some of your answers and saw the usual crop of religous nuts claiming their's was the only true path. After a lifetime study of comparative theology I have come to the conclusion that all the world's religions contain the same central core of truth:- Love God, and love your neighbour. Everything else is just window-dressing!

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.

Well, I'm Christian. There are a lot of Muslims who practice Islam. There's also Catholic, Jewish, Buddhism, Hinduism, and many more.

I Agree 100%!...Also I might add..folks should stop asking religious questions if they don't believe!!

This seems to be typical again. You are asking a question about a specific topic about the Christian believe but you want to shut up the very people involved in this believe to shed some light on this. That shows me that you are not really searching for the truth but just want people to tickle your itching ears to speak out against Christianity in order to quiet your conscience.\nIf Christians would ask a question and mention that non-Christians are not to be involved in the discussion, they immediately would be called names and bashed and perceived as biased, close minded and hateful, wanting to brain wash people and shut down free speech.\nYou can see this over and over in these question/answer situations, really eye opening!\nI am not attacking you with this, just in case some people start wondering again, just uncovering some truth and exercising free speech. Have a nice day ;) May the Holy Spirit bring you some enlightenment in this matter...

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?
