Why are 99.9% of the answerers in Religion/Spirituality trolls?
It seems like 1/100 of all the questions asked in R/S are actual questions about religion or spirituality, the rest are just trolls. Why is the section limited to Christianity when there are far more religions than just that one?
@Film Socialism, If you notice my question it says 99.9% of the People answering questions are trolls and 1 out of 100 questions are actual questions about religion and spirituality.

Let's keep this short, because I just came in from the cold and now I can't type very fast at all.
We have trolls here, and it's annoying, but this place would actually be pretty lame without a few of them. The insane trolls who just want stars, or the trolls who just insult everyone and spam questions, should definitely leave. However, there are some trolls here that everyone finds funny. If you have a sense of humor, which you probably don't, then you'll probably laugh at some of them when they come on here.

Because most of the internet is comprised of people from Countries of which are mostly populated with Christians and people who think all religion is stupid. The Christians are, most of the time, the naive internet surfers and the people who think religion is stupid are usually the trolls.

I second that. I don't mind arguing about the legitimacy of Christianity, but it's sad that if I ever had a question about any other spiritual system I wouldn't be able to ask it here without being told that either 'God isn't real' or 'You're asking about the wrong God.'

If 99.9% of everyone is a troll then only 1/1000 would be a real question, not 1/100, dope.

It's not limited to Christianity, feel free to ask questions about any other religion you'd like.

It's the easiest to pick lines from and the easiest to poke fun at. Every once in a while a different religion is pulled in.

Well, you've been around long enough to know, people here, use this forum as a "community board as much as a question/answer board.
Also, there are certain hours, when the age demographic plummets.

The entire history of religion is full of trolls - why would this sad little corner of it be any different?
