I believe that there should be separate categories for religious discussions. Do you?

One for Atheist/Agnostics, one for Wicca/Witchcraft, one for Christian/Protestant, one for Catholic, one for Orthodox tradition, one for LDS, one for Judaism, one for Islam, one for Buddhist, one for all others, and one for No Holds Barred debate/discussion.

I'd happily agree to stay out of the Atheist forum, if they would agree to stay out of mine.

How about it Y!A? Can we get some feedback from the admins on this? Perhaps if we can make this one of the more popular questions they will notice.

    It appears to me that you are yet another theist who gets their knickers in a twist whenever any one dares to openly disagree with the hogwash you attempt to pass off as absolute truth.

    I understand where people answering questions that aren't intended for them are annoying. But this is an open forum. Users still going to go into threads they don't follow. For instance a Wiccan might answer questions about Judaism. A Christian might answer a question aimed at Muslims or rant about Pagans. Christians will still turn up in the LDS category and call them a cult. This is an open site, so you can't stop anyone from answering any questions they'd like to. It happens in other threads on this site as well. The attachment style parents rag on parents who don't follow their principles. If you go into homeschooling and express a preference for school, you'll get ragged on.

    What really needs to happen here is enforcement of YA's community guidelines. They're pretty much a joke. This whole thread could probably get closed down. And try politics. lol! There's hardly a real question or civilized answer there.

    No. Yahoo is and always has been an open forum. If you don't like it, go run along to a Christian website. There are plenty, you know.

    If you simply don't like being questioned or contradicted and just want someplace to pat other people of like thought on the back, you know what the little "x" in the right hand corner of your screen does, right?

    When Jesus was preaching the Kingdom, he did separate people...he spoke to ALL.

    From then on is was the decision of those he spoke to to make up their minds...to believe Jesus or not...they DID have free will to do so...

    (Luke 4:43) But he said to them: “Also to other cities I must declare the good news of the kingdom of God, because for this I was sent forth.”

    (Daniel 2:44) “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;

    A KINGDOM IS A GOVERNMENT SYSTEM...

    It is much more than just a good feeling inside us...

    Are we prepared to be obedient to it?

    That is what we are judged on...

    Revelation 20; 12,13

    Because any bad deeds we did have been PAID FOR, LIKE WAGES...by our death

    Romans 6.23

    Try looking them up. Any bible.

    possibly,there relatively could desire to seperate the spirituality from faith,yet they're mixed as a results of fact they clarify one yet another. in elementary terms people of severe spirituality become conscious of the actual meaning of religion.maximum use it as a fasade to justify their very own income. in the event that they have been seperated,there could be much less confusion yet greater complexity interior the form.interior the bible ,the full is metaforicly compressed.as properly, who could have the endurance to decode the full data,understanding the reality that the bible became into written for various generations. There could be much greater erors. I say do not seperate them for now.that is greater powerful this way.

    I think not. The idea is to exchange information. Unfortunately this forum is often used to bash each other, but separating people with not help with the original aim.

    How will we learn if we seclude ourselves?

    Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpens Iron. So one man sharpens another.

    No, I see no reason to complicate things. I just ignore answers and questions that I don't like. What's the problem?
