Why  do some people find the spritual sector of answers.yahoo  a place for mental discharge ?

I think its because religions are polemic.\nReligion is not like sports, were both gymnastics and weight-lifting could be right; or fashion, were both black shoes or pink ones would go with a pink dress and black jacket. (Even though it's barely acceptable to wear a dress and a jacket... (It's SO last season...))\nTo have one religion is to say all others are wrong. Even atheists feel attacked when someone believes a religion, because in doing so, they're implying the atheist is wrong.\nEven in Wicca religions, that supposedly embrace diversity (any Wiccan can be at the same time anything he/she wants), believers are implying that other religions are wrong since they don't let you have more than one religion.\n\nSo really, religion is like a stubborn king, because it refuses to cooperate with other kings and believes he is the only one who should be in the throne. Which cannot be proved wrong because the throne is so narrow...\n\nAnd again, some Wiccan is probably going to stand up offended and say "Any one could be Wiccan and Catholic--" or somehting-- "at the same time!"\n\nBut the truth is that every religion has a set of statements and saying they hold true is saying another religion's don't. I.E.- I've never seen and never expect to see a religion that says "Oh, this other religion is a true religion too, so you can switch between religions if you want. There's honestly no reason why you should choose one and not the other"\n\nSo by being into a religion--or rather, by not being into a certain religion, you offend everyone who is. That's why everybody has something polemic to say, because the nature of the religions is polemic. They don't just say a point is wrong, they say the person who made it is.\n\nHolding a stand is inevitably saying all other stands are wrong. Go ahead, say I'm wrong. Sooner or later you'll get it.

Death by shunning or cyber-stoning?\n\nTo some it is more importmant to appear to have all the answers than to let others know when they have looked up the answer.  Just because we cannot see them, they believe that most of us are as stupid and will not know even when we catch them doing this.\n\nI am afraid that this is the price the rest of us must pay to allow for anyone to use this site.  Perhaps if this is reported as abuse everytime they do this and someone catches them, Yahoo could kick them out?

LOL! I feel bad for laughing...I believe in God, heaven, the Bible, etc,i would call myself more spiritual than religious-Sometimes i think people maybe go a little too far trying to push their beliefs onto someone else...but i think for the most part, it's people who want to tell other people about God..I'm all for anyone who's intentions are to spread the word, tell how they found peace and happiness, or to educate- It's the condemning and persecuting done by the "believer" that disgusts & disappoints me, looking down on other people is not what it's all about..It's supposed to be "about" the exact opposite, anyhoo, i'll quit rambling now..Point is, apparently someone has taught them how to use a computer- maybe God himself did, haha

Probably because there are questions being asked.  A lot of people find religion interesting and have opinion on the whole idea.

why would i want to change anyone's mind? if i were a jehovah's witness, then it would be part of my spiritual job, wouldn't it? you sound like you're venting and maybe you're angry--perhaps you should check it out and see what's bothering you about this forum. Peace

Why are you trying to sow dissent here?  There are people on here trying to keep it less like a battlefield and more like a place for important questions on faith, and questions like this don't help.

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?!?!

Oh yes, most definitely.  I believe they use these forums to preach their propaganda.  Because lets face it, no one really knows who or where we are.   We just work on faith that others here are honest.  But if you notice how questions here are formulated and repetitively asked, I have no doubt this is used as a sounding board.

i think people find answers in worship and belief in something greater than themselves. a guidance to why we are here on this world and the reasons behind it.

Good point!  I'll check out who to ask about this.\n\nWhere is the "Tell us what you think"?\n\nI found it!  http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/answers/cgi_feedback\n\nI get the other points on here about how people will want further sub-categorization and the concern about general questions.  But there seems to be a lot I've read today wanting Christians out of here.  I'm willing to be moved to another location.  People are still going to be curious and peek over there.  And taunt us.  But they can't complain that we're ruining "their" spirituality section.

Muslim Man, I think it happens here all the time because people are so "anonymous" and they can post practically anything without censure. The 'Community Guidelines" are a joke. It's sad, too, because there are many people who come here for sincere dialog and curiousity, and end up being misled by those who are here just for mischief. I've been deeply disappointed in what I've seen here in this forum, and the unfortunate reality is, regardless of your beliefs, if you can't have an open and sincere dialog, then you really aren't doing your belief system any favors.

That's an excellent question. I won't be a hypocrite about it, though. I've been guilty of it myself from time to time, but there are some repeat offenders here. It seems that the Politics and the Religion & Spirituality sections draw more of this sort of behavior than any of the others. I guess it's because they are both such personal topics and it's easy to hit a nerve when you discuss them.

I enjoy reading about religion... it's always interesting and enlightening to explore differing perspectives and opinions, even when they differ from my own. I also think it's great that people can give homework help and so forth. I think it's a pretty neat forum.

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
