Why read Christian questions or comments if you are going to be ignorant and closed mined with your response?

I wasn't going to answer this, but then I thought, at least non christians tend to post their comments in the right place, which is in response to  a question, whether it's what you want to hear or not, at least it's where it can be read by anyone who chooses to see it.  Unlike the many so called christians who seem to take great delight in declaring their saved status and yet at the same time spam countless mail boxes with vitriolic e-mails full of spite and hatred and arrogance.\nObviously I accept not all christians are like this, but you have a minority on here who unfortunately are ensuring there will never be tolerance, acceptance and harmony between all parties,

Hey just read it and shut up okay....lot's of us don't believe in your God or your Savior and we don't care about what you think is right or wrong and nobody asked you for your opinion.

Well, it's not a bad idea, but do you really only want to elicit responses from people who think and believe exactly as you do?  I know the ignorant answers are annoying, but I actually enjoy reading different points of view from other cultures.  I like to learn from them.  Even when they are being vehement and fanatical I find that I can learn something about their culture and beliefs.  And what category would you put someone like me, who identifies with no specific religion.  I just follow my own spiritual path, made up of beliefs from several religions, new age spirituality and my own gut.

Because they want to scare you into believeing thier religon. That's why i don't like christans that try to "Spread the word" about christianity. It actually turns some people off because it gets annoying.

Unfortunately most Christians are extremely ignorant about things related to their own religious beliefs and because of this they have very misguided ideas about what it means to believe in god and what "faith" is.  I know this very well having been a Christian for many years. I attended Christian Theology school and one thing I quickly realized is how ignorant Christians are when it comes to the book they so dearly love--the Bible. (despite the fact that they claim to cherish the bible 99% of all christians have never even read the entire bible from start to finish)\n\nIn my opinion not only is it OK to question Gods existence and the validity of Christianity, I think it is NECESSARY and I think that the Christian God encourages this type of questioning. \n\nWhen you study the old testament there are countless examples of God performing miracles in order to PROVE that he was the true and only god.  Any person who has actually studied the bible would recognize this and therefore the idea that it is WRONG to question gods existence is foolish since the God of the bible himself thought it necessary to demonstrate evidence for his own existence and superiority over the pagan gods. \n\nAnother evidence for the fact that even the Christian God would encourage questioning their religion is the fact that Christians, when they are "witnessing" to non-christians demand of them to question their own belief systems and to consider all the arguments for the validity of Christianity.  \n\nChristians use prophecy to prove the authenticity and validity of the Bible over other books who lack such evidence. \n\nTherefore, it is completely ridiculous and hypocritical for Christians to try to give evidence for the validity of Christianity through "prophecy" etc one minute and then condemn a person who is demanding "evidence" for the validity of Christian beliefs. \n\nSo my conclusion regarding this point is that pretty much all Christians are extremely ignorant even about their own beliefs and they are hypocritical because they try to give "logical" reasons and proof for their belief system and expect people to be "honest with themselves and truly consider Christianity" but yet they would condemn you for "questioning" Christianity once you are in it.  Its ridiculously funny. \n\nHowever, I think it is important to make a distinction between Christians and the Christian religion and the question of whether there is a god and whether the bible has something to it.  They are two different things.  Just because Christians are ignorant does not mean that God doesnt exist or that the Bible doesnt have something to it. \n\nAs a student of Philosophy (something that wasnt encouraged by Christianity) I began to study all of the philosophical arguments for the Existence of God and I am 100% convinced that a god does exist.  These philosophical arguments have nothing to do with Christianity or the bible, they are simply deduced using logic.  there are many different arguments for the existence of god, all of them have limitations, however, when you consider all of them they provide a very strong argument in favor of the existence of god. \n\nhere i will share only one of them. \n\nThe Cosmological Argument: the cosmological argument consists of the following syllogism:\n\n1. the earth had a beginning\n\n2. everything that has a beginning has a cause\n\n3, therefore the earth had a cause\n\nit sounds extremely simple and it in fact is, but it is also extremely powerful.  i will elaborate only a little on this argument but trust me when i say that it provides an enormously powerful argument in favor of gods existence. \n\n1. we know from physics etc that the universe is expanding, therefore if we reversed time it obviously means that the universe would be compacting, this means that the universe was at one point at a level of complete and total compaction.\n\n2. there is no such thing as i

In the interest of fairness, I looked at the person's comments as well as your response. Just wanted to correct one tiny little detail... The second comment didn't say that your writings would condemn you to hell, but that you would answer for them, and that you would be condemned if you did not accept Jesus... exaxt quote was...\n\n"God will hold you accountable for every word you speak and write, and ultimately what will condem you to hell is if you do not accept the payment done on your behalf by God himself"\n\nNevertheless, this is a small detail, and one that scarcely matters in light of the judgement and condemnation in this person's arrogant and holier-than-thou comments. \n\nI personally think that the worst thing said in these two comments was "You are useless to mankind..." \n\nHow utterly and fundamentally mean-spirited. \n\nAs a Christian, I apologize for this behavior. If the person wanted to witness to you, he/she should have left a comment saying, "I'm a Christian, and I'd like to talk to you about Christ and hear what you think about it." They shoould have left their name and let you contact them if you wanted to. \n\nI hope that you choose not to let this person (or people - could have been 2 different people) color your opinions of Christians as a whole.

i'm not one of those people you described but i'm wondering why do you go to this site and ask people their opinion if you are not willing to listen to what they want to say? stay away or be respectful of the beliefs of others. go figure! peace, love & unity. cheers!

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.

You know, I get the impression that many of your questions in this catagory are simply meant to provoke others for your amusement in their answers. \nI'm not attacking your beliefs--and I say beliefs because I've seen that it takes as much faith to be an athiest as it does a Christian. \nIf you have a genuine purpose to asking these questions other than laughing at the people who take them seriously, I'd like to know... actually I'd be pretty interested.\nthanks,\nJB

I think there are a few things going on here.  Some of these people, indeed maybe all, deep down are haunted by the idea maybe there IS  a God they will be responsible to and are bitter about the whole thing and want to badger us.  Some of them want to expose the woeful lack of knowledge many Christians have to defend their faith (which is very logical and sensible and many extremely intelligent people embrace it)  We must remember, the cross is an offense to people.  Those of the world killed Christ and the world will always hate us.  These people will hate our uninformed anwers and they will hate our informed will reasoned answers.  They are a waste of time.  I believe this is what Jesus referred to when He said not to cast your pearls before swine.  Our time is too short.  Save time for the true seekers.  They are not too hard to find.  Also, study to show thyself approved so you can give a good defense for our faith, not just scripture but how it makes sense in our world and state of existence as a whole.

Relax? I don't think they can some of the nonbelievers don't answer with harsh words I've seen about two that simply give you their opinion like parrot, and I've Got A Ruler but some others seem to just be mean may be it's the ones who answer with mean words really don't know why they don't believe so that's why the answers are things like I don't believe because of the Christians, or God is stupid like you, or my favorite stop preaching to me, oooohhhhh but let those same ppl ask a question like Are all Christians stupid? Are you a bible Thumper? It's alrighty then....\n\n I liked the question..... after all it was simply a question.

My impression from the Christians on this site (myself included) is that we are trying to at least clear up the confusion about Christianity and the Bible, but whether or not anyone is interested I can't say. \n\n My personal feeling is that if you're going to reject something, say Christ, you should at least know about what you're rejecting.  Some people do understand and reject what the Bible says, but most don't understand at all and have all kinds of pre-conceived notions that they've learned from the culture at large.

Mostly I ask a question to find out something I don't know the answer to. \n I hate it when people insult God, they do that mostly out of ignorance. or to get a reaction out of someone.

Those words are not of God and not of Christ. A Christian who says those things is not acting as a Christian should. These are deceptions of the devil and are based on hatred.\n\nYou, I see from many of your posts, are grappling with these questions. But you post them as if they were insults or jokes. I see through that. You are partly consumed by a temptation to persecute Christians. You are partly ruled by this and have no control over it. And it bothers you. But your resolution is a false one, in that you believe Christians are at the root of this lack of inner control. It feeds the flames and you relinquish more self-mastery as time passes.\n\nThe proof is that at this moment you are probably saying this is stupid and you will try to ignore it. Ignorance is your tool to continue the persecution. As long as you refuse to understand what Christianity teaches then you can continue to mock it with half-sincere questions based out of your inner conflicts.\n\nIt is not Christians you have a problem with. It is yourself. But go ahead and scoff and continue on in the path of slavery to your emotions.

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.

amorgan4ou Why would you ask that question about someone elses religion? is this person blasting you for being christen no so instead of criticizing people for believing there own thing why dont you follow your own bible and not judge people. If i remember right it is not mans job to judge but god's. Jesus said let him who has not sinned throw the first stone, however there is no man or woman alive that has not partaken in sin. before you start bashing other relgions try to follow your own. love thy neighbor as ye would love yourself. \n\nAnd to you who asked the question i have no idea why people are not more accepting i am not a LDS but experience on a daily basis the harmful remarks of other people ignorance.

The problem might not be with you, but all non-believers have had quotes tossed at them and when I attempt to discus quotes with quotes, the discussion always boils down to me being told that I'm taking the Bible out of context and I'm wrong, of context my argument, some Christians will shut it down.  \n\nI don't know if you are one of these people or one of the Christians that honestly enters into a discussion.
