Attention religious debaters:?

I often find myself wondering the same thing. \n\nI guess a lot of people take themselves too seriously.

You obviously don't know much about anything, do you?  Every religious books talks about a diversity of topics.  That doesn't mean they advocate something in particular.  You are just making up trash to discredit something you do not have the intellect to comment about intelligently.\n\nHave fun trying to paint within the lines.

Even though I admire your efforts, the way you have asked the question, will only make the christians feel insulted and become defensive. Only a very openminded one would read your post and seriously think about what you are saying. Good points, though.

What does this question have to do with religion????

Very well said.  I am already a Christian, but I just had to see what the Atheists would say (and disprove them).  Keep up the good work.

Why would the asker lie about his religion? I also noticed a few  people couldn't answer the question referring him to scholars and yet others were offended because he asked.On the day of judgement I suppose the scholars would answer for you.

I agree with all those above.   How about adding "Can god create a rock so heavy that even he can't lift it?"  or "can he create a burrito so hot he can't eat it?".  I'm an atheist and totally sick of those.  \n\nI'm also pretty sick of a lot of the Muslim bashing questions here.  They seemed to have finally slackened somewhat... so maybe that one is passing.

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.

Make sure you are prepared before you get into a discussion with an atheist.\n\ndba_gregg,Here is something for you\nhttp://www.godandscience.org

Thank You! And Christians need to quit reporting Atheist for their opinions. As long as it is not cursing, or filthy. All people need to try and just get along. Hardly any one on here has the same opinion, but that does not mean that we can't have a decent comment or reply. Again, THANKS.

mudcat, you seem to be pissed with Christians. This is the only topic you have been discussing for the past 5 days. \nWhat happened?

I think there are people who do, people get into religious debates & stuff. Some people do geuinely want to know the answers to sensible questions & it's a really useful site i think.

Probably because it was offensive. I agree that we should be able to discuss different views. I have been deleted for things I  shouldn't have been.What I am saying is you don't have to start a discussion by attacking or being rude to others.I am Christian and I have an Atheist friend.We have no problems with each others non belief in each others beliefs. We respect each others opinion, I think that question was reported cuz of its tone. I have seen it too many times.

Your observation is correct.  Religion is such a hot issue or topic that strikes a raw nerve in many.  Perhaps, it is because people fear of what they don't know.\n\nIt depends on your perspective and also on the perspective of those who post and answer questions on this thread of Religion and Spirituality.  \n\nThis may both test us and them.  As for me, I learn from the questions and answers that others post.  There are many who really don't understand the Bible and a lot more who don't even visit any church.  They ask people they don't know at Yahoo Answer because it is a forum of ideas, where you usually can't even get in any church.  Don't mind those picking a fight.  Don't be angry, since you don't know them anyway.  Let it be a learning experience for you regarding what makes others tick, why some think so and others believe another.\n\nI do find that the others post plain questions that have been bothering them.  So I may answer a question or two based on what I've learned so far; but I don't shove it on their throat.  Just an exchange of ideas.  No "I-know-it-all" or "I'm-right-you're-wrong" attitude.\n\nJust remember to treat everyone with respect, even when a little bite is necessary.

I completely agree with you people of different faiths debating is what we are doing on this section.We may not agree but it's the different personality's that you come to know and have a fondness for.The reportings are getting out of hand and are being done for no valid reason.

siamsalem007: are you serious or are just that dumb? it is by leaps and bound easier to follow the herd so you don't have to formulate original thoughts or have an individual opinion.  i don't mean to bash or berate, but come on! jeewhiz! <---hehe that rhymes with jesus. HA!\n\nand for all of you christians supposedly being supportive and caring, you sure are a bunch of ravenous close-minded religion-mongers. what makes you think you deserve eternal paradise? because some book written by the hands and fingers of men tells you so? at the very LEAST, practice what you freaking preach! so few of you do.
