Atheists and Christians. If you see a question that starts out, "Christians only" or "Atheists only", do you?

Do you automatically check it out if you are part of the other group?

Do atheists look for questions addressed to "christians only"?

And do christians look for questions addressed to " atheists only"?

If yes, do you do it in the hopes of ridiculing the asker or to see what kind of answers might be given?

    If the question interests me, I really don't care whether it states "athiest or christian only"...unless I'm just in a "mood".

    Nope, really don't care what others may have to say about it so I really don't bother to read other answers. However, I'm not above calling someone out when they've spammed the same stupid question daily for the past month.

    I go to both 'C' and 'A' questions. I don't care. Also, I don't just AUTOMATICALLY kiss my teams ***. I mean, occasionally I do ask questions that my team doesn't like as evidenced by the fact that those questions get deleted (but don't start thinking that my opposition never report questions. I've lost count of how many accounts I've had and I pretty much abandon them when they reach level 2 b/c I figure it's best to not rack up suspensions b/c eventually ya blocks based on your IP address.). And I don't automatically attack my 'opposition team' or at least my opposition team is mostly Muslims not Christians (about a 70/30 split). Occasionally I'll actually be nice to a Muslim but it's about one time in 20.

    Yes, it's like a sign on a door that says "Do Not Enter" it just makes me want to read the question-whether it says "Christians only," or "Atheists only." I do it both to see what the question is and how it was received by reading the answers. If it is a immature ridicule at another group I try to make a point to correct them and that it really isn't that difficult to be civil.

    I don't LOOK for question addressed only to Christians. If there's a question, however, that is addressed only to Christians, but interests me, or provokes a thought or opinion in me, I'll answer it regardless. This is the internet, who's going to be constrained to requests like that that single people out?

    Depends on the question. If it's a religious question that asks something about the bible or whatever, I move on as I do not know the answer. I never ridicule people, unless they deserve it (ie: purposefully misspelling words). A lot of the time I find the questions intriguing and am curious to what the answers are.

    I look at all of them to try and answer, and not to ridicule. I once posted a question with "Christians only" at the beginning to get all the Atheists in though.

    It worked.

    I'm a Christian, and I open question addressed to atheists because I'm curious as to what they have to say.

  • 1 decade ago

    I'll answer if I want to despite who its addressed to.

    If a person wants christian-specific or atheist-specific answers, find another forum. This is an open one and if people can't handle differing opinions than their own, they shouldn't be here.

    I stay away from questions that said "atheists only", even if it's directed to an area that I'm interested in. Because I believe that is respecting the person who is asking the question. He/she doesn't want to see bunch of posts not relevant to his/her question, and I want to respect that

    No, I as an atheist look for questions that have to do with science or are directed toward atheists. Or questions that interest me enough to look at them.
