Why is it that when you put the word "God" in a question you have 20 answers in 10 seconds?

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.

It is how fast you can learn how to spell, before entering questions here.  That way people can figure out what the question really is.

When you are trying to ask a question the system is also looking at the same time if the question has been asked by someone else earlier. That helps in getting the asker instant access to the answers to the question already asked. Incase your question is different from the 19,000 stored than you would have your own set of answers. I dun think the guys at Yahoo are fool enough to keep their memory full for questions which would not used again. It has a reason and a very good one.

No, we also know that when you say that god is only a word, some people get really mad at you. Apparently for them god is something else.\n\nNow, more seriously, god is more than a word. It's a representation of an idea that is important for some people, but that has been used and ABused by different powers to manipulate and control humanity, by the fear of the unknown and the panic of "eternal damnation", a very powerful invention they've come up with.\n\nSo, god represents a lot to different people, but it's a relevant social concept for all of us, too. Even though we assign it very different importance, according to our life experiences.

these words mean to me that something is so immense that we as humans can not even comprehend what they actually mean. we only use a tiny portion of our brains. i think if you do believe in god he is so powerful,immense, infinite eternal whatever words you want to use, but words are never enough

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 think it's because people train themselves to pick the wrong answer.  It's a bad habit and can be broken.  Learn to recognize when you really know, and when you just think you know.  In the second case, don't be lazy and look for the answer.  \nAnother part of this is that in real life, most answers are not binary, they have many choices or shades of grey, so what may seem 50:50 may be 10:32.8:16:..., much more complex stats.  Don't be hard on yourself, just break this habit.

It depends on what time of day you post.  If you post in the morning or afternoon a lot of times you'll get better answers.  Also, some people try to get stuff in really fast to get points.  The more thought out answers take time to write so they end up after the quick ones.

God is capitalized. That sounds a little narrow  minded

Hummm.\n\nGreat question! I am betting you kept thousands of True Believers busy clicking onto your (sorry, stupid otherwise) question.\n\nBetter doing this clicking on YOUR question, than asking their silly, droll, meaningless religious questions .. cause while they are reading YOUR question, they do not have time to type THEIRS!\n\nMy hat is off to you! and, thanks for the points.

If a question is not at least 10 chracters long, it is not much of a question.\nYour single word "why" is not a good question.  Part of the rationale is in using the search engine at a later time to find a question already answered.  Less than 10 characters would lead to too many items in the list.

I agree - there seems to be a delay in the posting, but I'm sure you're right- I always think I'm the "first" to answer someone's "difficult" question and then all of a sudden there are 10 answers. I just answered one and it still isn't showing up as answered.

I think that some questions stir something inside of us.Some questions are controversial,while others are not.Some questions are easily answered while others are answered by text book explanations.Hmmmm I wonder how many answers this question will get?

Slow down, type out a logical question and I will try to answer it.  That question makes no sense.

And herein you hit upon one of the biggest problems with religion. The idea that god is all knowing, all powerful etc, but also it matters what humans do. Why does anyone need to pray if a god knows they will do it - surely the god can decide to perform whatever action the prayer would have solicited without the need to actually hear the prayer - as you say, the god knows it's coming.\n\nThe idea that "god exists out of time" is an answer so devoid of meaning that it beggars belief.\n\nAlthough an Atheist myself, I'm not sure if your subtitle to this message (about "stupid Christian") really helps, even if it is meant ironically - it's unlikely to tease out the most interesting responses.

Because they have too much spare time besides coming here to tell you "Oh my God, don't you have anything else better to do than come here and making this kinda comments about God?!?!"\n\n.. or tell you you will go to hell after you die, come on, I mean.. who cares?!?!
