Why is it that Christian answers get thumbs down ratings?
825798
Those who hate God, will always hate those who follow God.

They don't.  They harm the cause of Christ by making people equate Christianity with hate.  I'm certain that one way or another those people are going to have to answer for their hatred.\n\nAs a Christian I apologize for the existence of sites and attitudes like that.

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.

bad idea\nit often confuses the questioner when seeking for honest answers\nif people who knew an answer to be true gave a thumbs up to help the asker find what they need ... then that would be great\nif people who dont know the answer just left their little button alone .. it would help emensly

To Answer Your Question...The Problem Is Either Lack Of Knowledge In God's Word Or Fear!..  (Cowards)....90% Of This Website Is Made Up Of God Hating Heathen's & Atheist!...It's True, We As Christians Who Walk In Love ..But Also, We Are To Stand Up For What's Right As Jesus Did In (John 8:44)....It's Not A Double Standard!....Heathen's & Atheists Log Into This Website To Preach To Religious/Spiritual Folks With Their Fantasies & Man Man Theories To Stir Up "Strife" Judge, & Condemn And It Is Not Fair To The Religious/Spiritual People Who Wants To Share & Receive Blessings From Each Other!...All Of Jesus Prophesies Has Come True. Jesus said That Those Who Serve Him Would Be "HATED" Of All Men For His Name Sake, But He That Endureth To The End  Shall Be Save".(Matt. 10:22)....Christian's Need To Understand That They Are Not "Pushovers" And To Stand Up & Speak Up For The God That They Serve And Not Allow "satan" To Defeat Them Or Intimidate Them As They Walk In Love!

I didn't see the special but this is the only way I could find to contact you and ask you a question. In your question to "unbelievers about the rapture" do you think it is proper to select as a best answer one by a believer? After all the way you Phrased the question you were searching for negative results. I do not mean this hatefully only as "constructive " criticism, if there is such a thing. You can contact me , if you wish , on my 360 page.

If someone asks a biblically based question and will not accept a biblical answer, then they were not trying to ask you anything at all. They are looking for a contradiction to discount anything biblical in the first place as to excuse their unbelief!

I think it's a matter of choice.  We Christians choose to turn any question and give an answer that will somehow reflect our belief in Christ.  Your choice is to read the answers and decide whether or not you like the answer.  What you choose will not offend us; but we believe that every action that every single person in this world makes, is written in a big book in Heaven.  And we want to make every opportunity count by telling people about God in one way/shape/form or another.  If you want to be preached at, go to church.  We are simply giving our God and Bible based opinions.

Why is is so easy to pick on Christians for their beliefs and not others for their non belief?  There are hypocrites everywhere, not just in religion.  I am sorry that you had a bad experience with one Christian, but as one myself, I get really tired of everyone grouping people into one category based on one experience.  I suppose I could go around and make ignorant judgements on every type of people because of one instance, but why not just accept that there are people that really do take the word to heart and practice the living proofs of the Bible?!  I can't make everyone else do it, but I know that I live my life according to Christ's teachings.

I really hope you are asking this because of genuine desire to know the answer. Here is my opinion.\nI am a Christian. I love God, Jesus, etc. I pray all day and try to be a compassionate and caring person. However, I do not, condemn people for disagreeing with my belief.\nI embrace my imperfection knowing I, like every other person on the planet, make mistakes. Plenty of them.When someone asks me a question or advice, I offer heartfelt council and advice HUMAN TO HUMAN.\n\n  What I have noticed in life and on this Yahoo thing is that there are a lot of self-ritous (sp?). Read a few of the posts above. Some ignoramous wrote that Christians are not self-ritous, they just know right from wrong. That statement is the definition of self-ritous. (sorry for the spelling) Over and over I see these so-called Christians Judging people so harshly. I dont remember our savior behaving like that.\nOver and over, I see these quotes from the bible.\nQuotes about the wrath of God against these people asking simple questions. That is not only  Not Christian behavior, it is just plain rude.\n My mom says "it's not what you say, it's how you saw it."\nIf you don't agree with someone, maybe you could say something compassionate and from the heart rather than tell the person how vile and disgusting you and the Lord think they are. Maybe telling a berson they will burn with the devil isn't very Christian.\n  To be Christian is supposed to mean "Christ-like" from what I was lead to believe. I don't remember the parts of the Bible where Jesus insulted people and told them they are going to burn. Even if he did, I'm sure he did it in a kind and caring way. Not mean and judgemental.\n\nWhen Muslim's act like that and pull the "you are wrong, our God is the right God" thing, we call them Terrorists.\nWe  Christians need to remember that.\n\n I am interested in many religions because we all have a lot to learn from eachother. And respect that others believe differently than we do. They are not wrong or stupid or have less faith than a Christian. Just be a little nicer.

It's sad you cannot post a question without being attacked by Christians that claim  to adhere to the words of the Bible, particularly "Judge ye that not be Judged" and "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." These so-called Christians should be ashamed for not allowing you to express your different Point of view in an open forum.  I think an even better point to make for these individuals who are willing to attack you in such a juvenile way is to quote my Kindergarten teacher “If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all." May whichever god you choose, even if it’s none, bless you all.

they just probly want you not to follow Jesus but to follow what they believe. I as well am a Christian and i get attacked as well but instead i fight back if they're gonna attack. if not then i dont bother to attack at them.   I agree wit you on lettin everyone believe what they want cause its their life.  Its not their job to change our lives and make us believe in what they believe in.

Linda, Sweetie, one of the very FIRST things you need to learn as a Christian in Yahoo, is patience. You're gonna run into alot of these abusive comments, some people think they are being witty.  If they manage to get a rise out of you, they think they have somehow "proved" some sort of point.  I think they figure that Christians aren't supposed to get angry, or have hurt feelings, and when we react to such vicious comments, they can congratulate themselves that they have provoked us, and therefore, our God must not be real.\nWhen you really stop and think about it, they need our love and our pity much more than we need their approval.  Pray for them, but, don't let them push your buttons.\nGod bless you.

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?
