Why do all these believers have their IM's and emails blocked?  Are they afraid to debate their god?

No, they r not afraid, they already answer questions here. Many of them are offended and insulted here so they just don't want to receive more hatred on their emails as well.

I think they are here to ask questions that will probably shake up someone weak in their faith, they want to break down, and poke holes into what we believe. They call it opening our eyes to what's Logical, I simply view it as fulfilling the prophecy in God's word. I don't know about you but they increase my faith every time they try and provoke doubt, condemn our faith, put us on trial for our beliefs, crack jokes about our faith, and most of all spread the message of disbelief in God. What I truly can not understand is if they really do not believe why do they even bother, I have said it once and I will say it again I DO NOT believe in Smurfs so there for I do not seek out people who do in order to try and change their minds. But to each his own live and let live, preach on Atheist preach on.....

They fear what they don't understand, and so must have a world to live in where they are able to explain everything.  The unknown frightens them.  God is something they don't understand, and so must make efforts to do away with God or the part God plays in our world so that they can feel comfortable.  Arrogance plays a big part in it, too.  How arrogant must someome be to think that they are capable of understanding everything in the universe to begin with.  Sometimes I wish folks from another part of the galaxy would come down here and show us all how little we truly know.

I ask these questions all the time. And my reason is this...\n\nThe questions are seen by a few hundred people at best, and then are bumped down the queue, not to be seen again until the are resolved, and pop up on the front page again.\n\nTherefore, I will continue to ask questions, to reach as many of these theists as I can.  My purpose is not to insult them, or argue with them.  I just want them to get the question stuck in their heads.\n\nBecause even though it will anger them when they read the question the first time... they have to THINK about it to formulate a response to it.  And if they think about it long enough, eventually, they'll begin to see why religion is so illogical... and false.\n\nAnd that's all I want them to do... THINK about it...\n\nNow, why do I care?  For me, it's about politics.  Religion is destroying this country, and affecting my life, in many different ways.  I want it gone, as soon as possible...

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.

This is the religious forum, it's called religion and spirituality. Why start another forum when this gets more hits than someone's unknown blog? How else would you use freedom of speech unless you are discussing words? Seriously, we like the word, the word is good. But what point are you trying to make here? That people ought to be inclosed and not speak to each other? Do you get it? Or are you just fed up from hearing about it? I already mentioned why this place is better than a blog. If it's tiring why are you here? As for the questions, most of the questions have nothing to do with spirituality, most of the questions have more to do with retards asking stupid questions than anything spiritual (just kidding whatshoudIdo, I actually find your gag funny:). I don't read the bible but am interested in what people have to say about it. Spiritual and religious questions have always been answered but always need an answer, kind of like, how can we make the world a better place. The second you stop asking is the second you stop being human.

Ok, while the first email was bad and rude, deliberately provoking someone is just as bad. S/he doesn't want to know your religion! S/he doesn't care! Don't keep a dialog opened with him/her. It is rude to answer because they don't want to hear about your religion. It's like if you told a Christian, "I don't want to hear about Christianity" and they sent you scripture as a response.

Answer to the question: someone's stuck on the subject.\n\nCaution, topher. Naming someone in Y!Answers can be considered a violation of Terms of Service and could draw an abuse email for chatting, harrassing, or some other category.\n\nI will say that I was able to look up the questions I think you are referring to. I read the headers only, but since all 27 have the word "Mormon" in them there appears to be an obsession.\n\nI don't know the content, not being that interested, but if you feel that there is something that violates community guidelines you can use the abuse process yourself. Just click on "abuse" in one of the questions.\n\nYou will have to choose a category of abuse and it will help if you put in the URLs or headers of all the questions and your reasons for believing they are abusive.\n\nIt's not automatic. A member of the Y!Answers staff will use your report to look the questions over and they may agree or disagree with your reasoning. There is currently a backlog of five days.\n\nHe may be looking for a reaction. That can be dialog or it can be trolling -- seeking to start a flame war. Don't bite. If you have a complaint make a report and move on. Avoid his bait. You're better than that and don't need to form an obsession yourself.\n\nA word to the wise.....

I've seen that as well.  I don't know what motivates people to do that.  I guess it's a sort of religious spam.

I am very open to having logical, intelligent conversations, and even debates, with people that respect MY belief as well.\n\nI respect people's right to believe what they want, and have no problems with it until they begin condemning, name-calling, or just being outright rude (the whole sit down and shut up comment from my brother/sister would get a good butt-kicking...).\n\nIt is sad and disturbing that SOME Christians find it easier to just hate everyone who is different from themselves then to actually LEARN something new.  Ask questions, discuss thoughts...etc.  It's not hard, but I think that they are intolerant of difference.\n\nOn top of that, I feel that they fear challenges.  They may not be secure enough in their faith to understand others, as well as defend theirs when the going gets tough.  Again, this is not all Christians, just the ones who feel we are attacking them by our very existance.\n\nI think it will be a cold day in their hell before they ALL respect us COMPLETELY.  All we can do is continue smiling and be the better person.  We are strong enough in our non-beliefs to continue on with our lives without hating people for their choices.  They are the ones that, according to them, have to live with their choices in the "afterlife".

I think it is horrible that people of any faith would post such nasty comments. I am a believer in God, but do not call myself a Christian. I have had bad experiences with them like yours. These people are not being very good Christians as they are going against a lot of what the bible teaches, ie tolerance and not judging others. You should ignore these people and keep asking questions. It is how we learn and understand.

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.

Some people just enjoy praying so politely say Amen!\n\n(You are so FUNNY!)

Some atheists like to pick on believers because they enjoy mocking anyone who thinks differently than they do. That is why they Troll the religion sections of most forums.Even if they had their own section they'd still harass people who believe in God or gods. I'm a Christian but I have no problem with a person being an atheist if thats the way they want to believe. The only problem I have is when certain Atheists go and ridicule and condscend to people who do have some sort of faith regardless of what that faith is outside of some form of cult. I ignore most of these Militant Atheists because most there arent a lot of them around they just like to make lots of noise and make most people intimidated by them. Why even give them attention I say. Keep the faith I say To Believers
