Why are all the reverends/ministers on here so ridiculous and narrow-minded?

Yes, that rev 6 1 gives the rest of us a bad n ame, doesn't he?\n\nI don't know why some ministers are so hateful and mean. Look at me.I'm kind-hearted,slow to offend, and full of Christian charity.\n\nThese nutcase revs get my dander up.\n\nWell, I guess I'm the second person to agree.I agree with Mickey that personal pastor right here sounds narrow-minded and ridiculous in his answer, snippity as well.\nPersonal Pastor is full of mean spirited pompousity.

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♥

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?

I noticed your question under the general heading. But yeah there are a lot of them that are just fundamentally airheads. \nLike old pops there who does not even realize what the heading he is posting under says before he posts a wrong answer. It is amazing. \nThere is another one from a "Canadian lady" telling you that you should be in the "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered" section.\n Once again, hilarious. \nYou should see them discussing the bible.\nOh well, nice visiting but I have some fundies to bash over in the Totally Screwed up on God section, catch ya later.

Some people just feel the need to be vulgar without any real reason for it.  I have found that there isn't really a lot of religious tolerance demonstrated on this forum.  I am a Christian, I believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, but I also try to respect the views and beliefs of the other religions of this forum.  Someone else on this site asked once, "why can't we just agree to disagree?"  The foul language isn't necessary.

This is one of those standard retorts that drives a stake through the hearts of bleedin' heart christians and their rabid war-mongering associates even.\nIt's a stumper for some, an opportunity for trotting out the prepared church answer for others.\nI am not one of either of these, thank the Dog!

Seems like a lot of them like to make ridiculous claims and then hide behind the anonymity of the yahoo answers forum doesn't it DOUBT.\n\nThese same people like to send me nonsense emails telling me that I'm going to go to hell for not believing in their tiny little God.\n\nAt least you can get a chance to email them back this way. 9 times out of ten you get no reply.\n\nPerhaps the email is unable to burrow deep enough into the sand to reach their heads.\n\nLove and blessings Don

What gives you the right to make such a broad generalization of people that don't go to church?  I think maybe you should brush up on what your religion tells you about judging people, before you ask questions like this.

Fanatics of any faith does not like liberal logical thinking.\nThey just want blinkered faith to fulfill their vested interest.

Are conservatives smug, non-thinkers who only do what their minister tells them to do?\n\nI don't believe that, but if you're going to do nothing but hurl insults, all I have to do is toss them right back at you.\n\nThen, you and other conservatives will say - "See, liberals can only mock conservatives", while you fail to see that you began this thread with a ridiculous insult.

It's because religious fanatics are trying to brainwash us. They are single-minded,  believing that they will "save" us if they push their beliefs onto us.  It is their mission to witness to us.  I grew up in a Baptist church, so, am very familiar with beliefs and ways.  Freaky!\n\nAlso,  there are many people such as myself,  who are so irritated with the Bible thumpers,  that we present off-the-wall religious questions to push their buttons.  It's amusing!

This is the religious forum, it's called religion and spirituality. Why start another forum when this gets more hits than someone's unknown blog? How else would you use freedom of speech unless you are discussing words? Seriously, we like the word, the word is good. But what point are you trying to make here? That people ought to be inclosed and not speak to each other? Do you get it? Or are you just fed up from hearing about it? I already mentioned why this place is better than a blog. If it's tiring why are you here? As for the questions, most of the questions have nothing to do with spirituality, most of the questions have more to do with retards asking stupid questions than anything spiritual (just kidding whatshoudIdo, I actually find your gag funny:). I don't read the bible but am interested in what people have to say about it. Spiritual and religious questions have always been answered but always need an answer, kind of like, how can we make the world a better place. The second you stop asking is the second you stop being human.

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...

Not all people assume that ALL Christians are like that.\n\nOnly a hand full, and a lot of them cruise this section...

Yes, this place is just crawling with God botherers. Many are Americans but, not all. \n\nWe should feel sympathy towards these people, not scorn. I mean, from their perspective, they're trying to help we godless heathens get our chance for eternal life. \n\nIt may be arrogant, it may be annoying, but some of these earnest but deluded people are really trying to make a difference. That's surely a good thing.

haha I asked the same question but about fundalmental christians.  For someone trying to figure out my own sprituality I find both sides rather annoying and superfical.  I think the reason both Atheists and Fundalmentals are on here so much is because their point of view is very simple to give a easy answer.  Beleive and don't question for the fundalmentals and don't beleive at all for the Atheists.  To answer many of the deep questions posted on here a lot of thought has to go into those answers.  Even with lots of thought, a good answer is hard to communicate.  Whole books have been written to answer some of these questions.  So it only appears to be narrow minded people in the population but in fact its just easier for them to give their narrow minded answers because to them everything is black and white

Josh, I can understand your reaction and plea. It's sort of like having a bunch of mosquitos buggin' you and you can't get away from them, and you don't have any "RAID". Religious arguments are useless. Many Christians are trying to do God's work for him, rather than just focusing on their own walk with God, and letting God do his own work. They get pushy in their zeal to get everybody "saved". Some of them mean well, but some are really not mentally or spiritually well, and they'll give RELIGIOUS answers to everthing, including NON RELIGIOUS questions. I know that you can delete your own answer to a question, but sometimes I think it would be a good idea if people asking a question could delete answers that offended them. That way the pushy ones (and other people who give offensive answers)would get their answers deleted quite often, and they would soon learn that what they were doing wasn't appreciated and wasn't doing any good. And it would filter the answers for other readers who want to read relevant answers and cast a vote etc. You might want to suggest that to Yahoo. By the way, I am a Christian too.
