On Festivus, December 23, should we have "an airing of grievances" against religious nuts on Yahoo Answers?

That's true. But remember, we have to be PC now --- it's Xmas, not Christmas. God forbid we say the word "Christ". Someone might be offended. Poor, poor non-Christians. They might even get saved!

If it helps, I am a liberal and do not think Christmas should be about anything other than God and Jesus (well, maybe Mary).  Let's respect religious holidays for the distinct and beautiful experiences that they are, whether we observe them or not.

I didn't report him, but I have found myself at the center of one of his childish temper tantrums.  I answered one of his questions with an answer that didn't agree with his opinion.  I found that he then went to my questions that were open and bashed all of them....  I did some clicking and found that he did this to anyone that didn't share his narrow opinion. After that day, I would goto his Q&A just to read it.  A source of entertainment!  I hope he gets to read this, just for him to know that I see him as a comical source of entertainment... and the fact that he has been suspended... He is just another angry stupid man hiding behind a bible.

Dear Rose, I am sure you mean well, but here, no amount of preaching or "screaming" will change anything. This site has fallen into the realm of IM, but more clumsy. The religious bunch preach here all day to whom??? The gay bunch (myself included) puts up with one silly basher who passes itself off as many, and we all put up with the sermons from the religious bunch who tell us daily that we are going to hell. Where they get that idea, I don't have a clue. \ngood luck.

What is ridiculously funny on Yahoo Q & A is any type of abuse from Christians.Not only do they never have there facts right but make such idiots of themselves in the process:)

Thanks, I thought I was the only person here who thinks that the thumbs up and down nonsense on such questions is childish.\n\nI don't know if it's hypocritical in all cases - not every religion says that their followers should not judge others - but it's certainly jejune.

Well put. I often get trapped into snide comments.\n\nI need to defend the faith, but in a loving way. Thank you.

Lol, "A Festivus for the Rest of Us!"  \nIt was kind of like the "Anti-Christmas", what with the aluminum pole instead of the tree, and the feats of strength and airing of grievances instead of giving gifts.  Comic genius!

As a full fledged member of CBOA (cry babies of america) I have to say I take offense at your offending, you offending offender you!  LOL.  \nI think people have taken the pc thing a bit to far.  Do we all remember our mother's lesson of "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me".????\nThis is a general religeon and spirituality forum, come in here expecting to have folks disagree with ya.  \nI'm with you...First Amendment provides freedom of religeon, it doesn't offer freedom from it.

UH OH...THERE YOU GO EXPRESSING YOUR MIND AGAIN! BEWARE! YOUR "OPEN" OPINION MAY INCITE WRATH FROM THE "INQUISITORS"! I AM A MARTYR OF THE CAUSE, AND I SUPPORT YOUR RIGHT TO SPEAK OUT IF YOU WISH....JUST BE CAREFUL! SAD, ISN'T IT???

My rant today is:  My family and my husbands family are each being stubborn about Thanksgiving and they have me in the middle of their fight.  I'm so sick of OJ; how can that SOB get away with continuing to throw his sickness in our faces.  Have you noticed the price of gas is going up again, the elections are over, next week is a holiday and OPEC and the US Oil companies have us by the balls. The Southern Baptist Convention consists of nothing but belligerent, elitist, bigoted, hypocrites.  \n\nThere, I'm feeling better, thank you for that.  :)

So then why are all of these Christians on the board answering questions in this forum if they feel that secular entertainment should be avoided?  hmmmm?  Isn't the use of the internet just for this purpose secular entertainment?\n\nY'all are a bunch of hypocrites.

I agree that it's very tiresome when people ask a reasonable, civilised question and get a rant in reponse (e.g. Noor's response to this question).\n\nBut on the other hand some people do ask questions that seem designed to wind up people of other faiths, and it's not surprising when people get wound up as a result.\n\nI think people's idea of what constitutes a challenging question and what constitutes a deliberate insult often differ.\n\nBut I think we should all try to get over this - after all this forum could be a really good place to build some real understanding among people of different faiths and no faith at all.

its too bad people are not behaving.  Some Christians are not reporting silly stuff ya know,  and I have been hasseled by non-christians types.  Some think that freedom of speech is a reason to be rude (report button is kinda free speech and rude I think though there are times when it has a purpose)  and some think if they are not rude others will dismiss what they have to say without understanding,  as if being rude is an exclaimation point.  I just write off people who are rude crude and socially unacceptable as cowards in this dark closet and since they have no ability to articulate I assume they are not much good at thinking and when I see their avatar i just skip it.
