Can Yahoo! answers spirituality/religion forum cause spiritual and physical inertia?

Yes, and when it gets stagnant I just go to another category or take a break. It's a nice place to meet like-minded people who are a refreshing change from the local religious red-necks who dominate the area I live in.

Not all the categories are like that. I have asked many questions about science, law, history, etc and gotten lots of good information.\nBut, as the others pointed out, this is the religious forum. And for every religious zealot, there is another atheistic zealot ready to pounce on them. It goes back and forth.\nI come here for the few honest questions that get posed. And sometimes I'm able to give helpful answers or advice. But I have to admit, I do get sucked into answering the stupid questions along the way.\nIs there some kind of "Yahoo Answerer Anonymous"?

There is already a "Religons & Spirituality" subcategory under "Society & Culture".  Some people, unfortunately, do not post their questions in the right category.

Shouldn't this be under another topic? \n\nDo you want spiritual advice or something?

Spirituality transcends reasoning. Hence the term "leap of faith"? So don't bother with semantics. You should be flattered there are people praying for you here, jim. I know I would if I were in your shoes. lol.

You want a chat room.  Belief net has one.  I am neither flaky or teenage, but I am a Pagan.  I took the Mensa IQ test and it told me I had a 171.  So I don't think im stupid either.  I'd love to engage in debate.  have you tried Wondir.Com?  I've gotten onto debates there.,

My friend,First, please take no offense at this statement that first hit my mind as I read your question:::It sounds like your practicing some new upscale Voo-Doo ritual practiced by the Papa Doc of the 21st century! all kidding aside, The need for prayer is the way we commune to whatever Higher Power influences our Spiritual existence.In a bathroom, on a subway,standing in a line at McDonalds...it does'nt matter! First of all, its what YOU feel, NOT what is socially acceptable...you as a Human Being has the right to make that decision.If you are influenced by the status quo vote as to how 'you' should act because of some Harris Poll, than you'll never find internal peace of your Spirit and you'll find yourself praying all the time for the right answers and never getting them.Praying is a personal event and no one else has the right to say where ,how, or what should be said...so pray away !...but first...please put out the Cigar!

Shouldn't this be in the Religion/Spirituality section??

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.

You would think so but it doesn't seem to work like that on here.\n\nWhen i first started using this about 6 weeks ago i did get some reasonable answers to questions. All that seems to happen now though is abuse so i just answer questions. I suppose it depends on who"s on at the time.\n\nAlot of religious people just seem to want to condemn others though. Little wonder alot of people don't want anything to do with religion or its followers.

There's a spiritual answer and there's a scientific answer. Seeing your question is based on the former, though, I guess my feedback to you would be this. What do you think will happen to you when you die? I mean plain and simple that's the answer to your question. There's no need to blur the lines on this.

I certainly do! I've only been involved with Yahoo Answers about a week, but I've already received some very positive responses to answers I've proposed. I'm very happy and excited to know that we have a forum here that allows Christianity to be expressed as much as other forms of religion. The Christians, by and large, seem to be very sincere and helpful-most other participants do too, for that matter.\nAs others have said, God can use this forum as a way to communicate His thoughts, and especially His love to people.\nMay we as Christians be not only sincere, but well-versed in our beliefs and God's Word.\n\n"So shall my word be (like the rain that makes things grow) that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." Isaiah 55:10-11

I'm a Christian, and I agree with you. I think that if there is no judgement or condemnation in the answer, and if the answer is relevant to the question, there should be no problem. I have gotten rude comments from some of those who are non-religious, but only in the site. \n\nHowever, there is another side to the coin. The sad fact is that the only e-mails I have gotten that were rude and uncalled for were from other Christians, and I've also had other Christians behave rudely on the site. \n\nSeems that some people from all worldviews need to mind their manners now and then.

heck yes! read some of the reviews on them at yahoo merchants. I had gotten stuff from them and it really helped alot with issues I had long term problems with. Of course prayer from ANY faith helps too. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs/religion/practices. You have to decide for yourself what is right or wrong and not let others influence you. If you want to try something from that buisness that is your choice. I am wiccan (a positive earth based spirituality) and proud of it. I do cast spells as long as nobody-including yourself-is hurt/suffering. My life has gotten nothing but better since following this path. I even feel more spiritual. I think a spell to help with your career would work better than one to bring a lover back.

I think it just boils down to simple Psychology 101:   insecurity about themselves and the faith they are in and wanting validation that they are in the "right religion".\n\nThat is what I have observed...not just here at YA, but also from visiting other religious/spiritual forums and newsgroups in the past.  It comes with the territory of said forums.  Total package, iow.
