Society & Culture - 13 July 2006

It seems most (not all) Christians on Yahoo Answers actually believe it is their mission to belittle all "non-believers" in an attempt to convert them.

Do they not understand how truly obnoxious and idiotic their behavior is? Do they not understand that the world doesn't revolve around them? Do they not understand that Christianity is only 1 out of thousands of religions that mankind has and does subscribe to? The arrogance is astounding. What happened to the meek inheriting the Earth?

Save the Bible quotes please. For every one you can give that you think proves you're destined to witness, I can give you 2 more that'll say you're not.

Open your minds people? I understand there are some good, non-judgmental Christian folks amongst us. I'm not coming down on you. But please understand, the pious Hellfire Christians are giving you an awful name.

And yeah, it's more of a statement than a question. Consider it a public service announcement

Are they?
Because they don't think theres going to be a reward for doing good, they just do it for all man-kind.

It doesn't matter who posts in this section, but every single question it seems is completely attacked by people from the other side. If a Christian posts a question, there are atheists all over it with reasons why there is no god. If an athiest posts a question, then Chritstians do exactly the same thing with reasons why there is a god. Why? If a question doesn't concern you, why can't people just leave it be? Do you really think that berating someone for their beliefs will accomplish anything? No wonder the world is messed up.

If you practice Islam as a religion, what would you tell people is your belief in regard to what is going on the world today? What do you say to the sectarian violence in Iraq? And the majority of the Middle East?

I was wondering if anyone would happen to have scripture that would support or not, the belief of attending one church, and becoming a member of one church. I have been in church for awhile and love the Lord dearly. But, I am not sure that I agree with the way so much is put into having to belong to one "church building", doesn't that almost take away from the Body of Christ as a whole? And, begin to put the focus on man instead of God....I think that is way there is so much division in the church today b/c instead of being faithful to the work of God, we are being faithful to the work of men. Allowing the focus to be the number in the pews, instead of the number in Heaven....So, if you know of any scriptures that tell us we have to be a member of one church, and be faithful to that one church please send it to me....Thanks Starr

Okay this guy:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkHL2R8CumtjI.htm3bVxZDsy6IX?qid=20060713185039AApqMAE

If this guy is your example of Christian Charity then you can keep it!
Has this guy ever heard of:
Charity?
Loving thy neighbor?
Turning the other cheek?
TURNING THE ALL CAPS BUTTON OFF?
He seems hateful and spiteful and it seems like the only reason he set up an account was to dog Mr. Jim.
Christianity huh?
What say you about this jerk?

Ok so you're sitting down eating and enjoying your food when your man comes home from work earlier than usual. You offer him some food but expect him to get it himself when he asks you to get it. Is it rude of him to ask you to stop eating to fix his food while your food sits out and gets cold. Or should you have gotten up anyway like a good little suzy homemaker and fix his food and go back and rewarm yours?

Does the bible not tell "christians" not to judge others regardless of who that person is? Why do Christians believe their religion is better than anyone elses? Why is it that if you don't believe in what they believe in do they automatically tell you that you're wrong without giving you a chance to explain your reasoning?

Just curious what people seems. It seems that I can ask a stupid question (maybe like this one), answer a meaningless question or notice a question like "What should I name my dog?" and they all get tons of replies. I ask a question on religion, politics, etc. ask the replies are few and far between. Should this worry or upset me? Does this say anything about society or am I just paranoid?

My pastor has insisted on having counseling meetings with my wife every Tuesday evening for the past two years. So, every Tuesday night I have stayed home and made dinner for myself and the kids while she was with him. She won't tell me what they talk about but she says that they spend most of their time on their knees just praying to God. I can't imagine what she's done that requires all these sessions with the pastor. Shouldn't she be forgiven by now? Should I be worried that my wife has committed some sins like overeating or blasphemy or even worse that she has become a religious fanatic or something? Please help me.

Also (and last) do you EVER look?????

Famous last words or deeds before you go. I am not morbid or dying, I am healthy but I just went to a grave of a close friend and all he had was his name and a date. He deserved more than that, I would have added great friend but the family already had it made.
