Why do people who do not believe the way I do Suck?
I mean, this is what it has come to. I feel there are a lot of children on here who answer questions (and ask) that are not experienced enough to answer. I see real questions about Christianity and other forms of religion and they get bashed by people of the other religions. Out of the religions I am most familar with, Christians, Muslims, Hindu and others, I cannot think of anywhere in any one of those where it is ok to bash and criticize other people. Most religions I know of teach love and understanding.
You will not convert anyone here. It is ok to respond to someones question using the experience of your religion. Yahoo answers will never be a pulpit.

Absolutely correct. A lot of people find it easier to simply argue when they're not actually debating face to face.
I mean, God forbid (hahaha) they should have to debate intellectually on the merits of a God-figure instead of simply insulting each other.

In case you have not realized, and I'm sure it's been said, this is not the end all and be all of learning. Most come here for Entertainment, to be Entertained. I don't expect anyone to convert anyone. There are those that Bash for Entertainment. On the serious stuff, like R and S, best to go elsewhere. Talk face to face with people. Go visit different Churches, etc. People are hiding behind computers, it's easy to insult another person that way.

I believe most religions do teach love and understanding by society and the way we humans react with and to each other is all about being better than such rather that untiting to survive equally.
A lot of people are just trying to prove something, but what it is I doubt theythemselves understand. I don't mean to bash on people because their beliefs are different, but I would like to know why it is that they believe that. Sometimes it's very interesting to find that some people don't even know why they believe something, they just do. And that makes me wonder why it's a belief rather than an idea.

Any one believing in any thing or any God is Ok . It is only when people crticize otere religions and beliefs tha problems arise . and it is always seen tha people who criticize othere religions have no knowledge about he religion or philosophy haey criticize. The chritian evangeliss can beseen condemning the idol worship of the Hindus openly from the street corners of India .It is this beheaviour hat leads to trouble , for chritians in India . Any one who criticizes any religions should be able to quote chapter and verse in support of thier criicism. One who criticizes any religions should do so after reading the scriptures of tha religion or else should keep quite and speak about his own religions only and shall uter not even a single word about any religons tha he does no at all know anything about .
In fact it is only he chritians who are keen on convderting others . The musloms have not been doing anythikng in this direction now. m though they have been using force to convert people to Islam during the medieval periods.The Hindus and ohere religions do unerfere with others like the christians . Just because a christian likes to eat flesh , he can not force it down the throat of others. pestering people by persuaion and inducements and threas of punishment in hell are all indecent practices adopted to swell the cofferes of he churches through the thithes. If a lage number of people are converted to any freligons tha religons can exert a grea influence with the state . in act speading religion is adopted as a tactics for gaining influence over the state . Religion , really is the oldest form of a political party.

I settle for that truth, i'm by no potential 100% confident that any that is ordinary to have all the solutions see all recognize all except God Almighty. And the purely way i'd be confident of it really is in holding with faith on my own. perhaps because we are able to not face the shown truth that all of it ends with a lengthy vacation in a hearst and six feet lower than you recognize. do not you imagine after the pains and tribulations maximum individuals face that there must be yet another existence after this one. that is comforting to maximum individuals to trust that someone will continually love unconditionally no count number what. As mum and dad love their newborn babes unconditionally.

By saying that these people suck, you are doing exactly what they are doing, bashing.
Ignore the questions you don't want to answer. ignore the answers if you don't like them. they have a right to say what they feel but you do realize most of them say what they do because they think its funny and they like to annoy people.
I'm catholic and I'm sure not going to let this website piss me off because someone says something derogatory about catholics.

Preach on!!! lol just joking but i do agree with you that people of religion don't always act or represent their religion properly sad to say some people like to be, what is considered to be, RUDE. but i do me and let others do them give my respect and hope for some back

Nor is it to be a soapbox...I would imagine some of the children you are discussing would probably appreciate the verbage used to ask this question. However, I find it beneath me to even argue the point. That said...have a great, and angel touched day.

i agree with you!! it is not our job to tell everyone else what is wrong with them. we are to love. i so appreciate this site for helping me to understand what other people think, even if it is contrary to my own beliefs. all answers should be bathed in love. i do think though, that some people do come to yahoo answers seeking truth. coming from a christian perspective, God could use this sight to reach people for Him.
