Is it true that on R&S, there are no right or wrong answers, only "best" answers?
Well, I think that sucks. We need a "Wost Answer" option.
For example:

I had to give this moron 1 star to chew him out, but it says "Best Answer - Chosen by Asker". That's so irritating. It wasn't the best answer at all. It was the exact opposite of the best answer. It cheapens the whole experience.

7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoAtheists and Christians, humor me for a moment. Can we pretend homosexuality is a choice?
Much about the opinions people hold about homosexuality seems to hinge on one key factor; whether you think they're born that way or if it's a lifestyle choice. If you're pro-gay, you almost certainly think it's largely innate. If you're anti-gay or religious and your religion is anti-gay, it's almost a guarantee you think it's a choice. Neither side seems willing to concede no matter what evidence is presented.
But for the sake of argument, let's say it's a choice. Hypothetically, the debate is over, and the evidence is overwhelming and undeniable. Denying homosexuals choose their behavior is like denying gravity.
Now, for both anti and pro sides, the logical train of thought seems to be this:
If homosexuality is not prenatal or genetic, then it is a choice, therefore homosexuality is morally wrong.
Or, in other words: If A > then B > therefore Purple Dragons.
I'm having trouble following this train of thought. Can anyone please elaborate?
I'm confused as to how [Choice = Bad] automatically. Please explain.

It's a beautiful day outside. Get off the computer and go get some fresh air and exercise.
I wasn't going to say anything, but you're starting to put on a little weight...
23 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoWhat does it mean when an atheist keeps getting reported by other atheists?
Is this a sign that I should convert?
Or does it just mean the people in this section are a bunch of little girls with sand in their vaginas?
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoWhy is God so gosh darned sexy?

7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoSpiritually speaking: Is Yahoo! intimidated by how awesome I am?
They refuse to let my question through:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuGXR...
Clearly this is the work of Atheists who are conspiring to keep my awesomeness hidden from the world in order to conceal the existence of God. You Atheists are not awesome at all. You're lame >:(
4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoHey Atheists, if God doesn't exist then why am I so awesome?
Check and mate.
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoHelp! An Atheist bit me! What should I do?
I was just minding my own business after leaving church when a rabid Atheist charged out of the bushes and mauled me! I heard that when an Atheist bites you, you become an Atheist under the light of the full moon. I already doused the wound in Holy Water (burned like a mutherfocker!), but are there any other precautionary steps I should take?
I'm scared! I don't want to turn into an Atheissst!!! :O

6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoATHIEST! Can you refute this fool-proof logical argument for the existence of God?
Science doesn't know everything, and weird stuff happens that we can't explain.
Ergo, my specific God created the universe.

13 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoAtheists, wouldn't you like your own personal Jesus?
Someone to hear your prayers, someone who cares? When you're all alone by the telephone, lift up the receiver; I'll make you a believer.
Reach out and touch faith.
12 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoIf EVILution is true, then why can't a chihuahua have sex with a guitar and give birth to a bicycle?
CHECKMATE ATHEISTS!!!
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoWhy are atheists so intolerant and always making disrespectful jokes about "zombies"?
They prefer to be called Undead Americans. "Zombie" is a vile ethnic slur.
You atheists are nothing but a bunch of racists. Shame on you >:(

3 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoA question for Christians who believe in evolution: Why did Jesus need to die if evolution is true?
*******DISCLAIMER*******
This is not meant to be confrontational, nor is it a challenge to your faith, nor is it even necessarily a criticism. It is a genuine question that I would like some genuine answers to. I have no problem with you being Christian and also believing in evolution. In fact, I much prefer you guys to creationists. This disclaimer is necessary due to the hostile nature of this forum, and the tendency for people here to jump to conclusions and become defensive.
*****END DISCLAIMER*****
Now that that's out of the way...
If you believe in in evolution, that means there was no literal Adam and Eve, correct? And if there was no Adam and Eve, there was no temptation in the Garden of Eden. They never ate the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, and never committed the Original Sin.
If there is no Original Sin, then why was Jesus' sacrifice necessary? It seems to me that he would have died for no reason, as Original Sin is the reason most Christian theology claims man is born sinful by nature. If the incident in the Garden of Eden is just an allegory, then this cannot be true.
How do you reconcile this? And has this issue ever been addressed before? I've never actually seen this issue addressed, and I've heard many Christian apologetic arguments.
Why do we need to be saved from a sin that never happened?
