A lot of people seem to come here for different reasons.

1) actually discuss matters of religion & culture
2) just have a good time even if it's not serious
3) have your own preconceived notions reinforced
4) preach to other people about how your religion is the only true one
5) troll for attention
6) game for points



I personally am here for 1 & 2, and tend to respect most those people.

Those who are here for 3 & 4 annoy me, but yeah, they have a right to be here.

I wish those here for 5 & 6 would just go away.





That being said, why are you here?
What brings you to this site?
What kinds of people annoy you most?
.... and does that have to do with their beliefs, or the way they conduct themselves?

Must be for everyone to waste their time on religion. Even if God is real, man only loves God because man loves so much (and does not know what to love). I see it as a weakness to not love things that are real like art, history, science.

Recently I asked a question about how people deal with violence in the Bible and a Christian wrote me this:

"War was necessary to take the lands God had given to the Jewish nation. The people groups living in what was and is, Jewish land, had to be removed. God could not allow these people to mix with His holy nation. Have you investigated those people who lived there? Check into the Canaanites, they weren't exactly peace loving people."

I don't have anything against Jews, I accept Israel in the borders of 1948 and also think they have a right to defend themselves (by defence I mean defence, not aggression) , but my question is, are there Christians who apply the very violent Bible verses about war on today, and think that Israel had a right to do everything there? Do you think that Palestinians should be "removed" from that land (including West Bank)? Do you think Israelis had a Biblic right to kill Arab civilians? Would you approve if Israel used more violence than it does?

Evangelism is the practice of trying to convert others to one's own faith. Pedophilia is the practice of sexually seducing underage children. Both occur when the practitioner holds the delusion that they are offering "love" when in fact they are manipulating and dominating their victims. Each also targets the vulnerable and leads to the victim later to victimize others.

{This idea was proposed by the Australian Anglican priest Rev. Christopher Heath in his interview on the "shrink rap podcast" 13-Sept-2006.)

Is it because they are white and in inner heart they nourish the feeling of racism??

Or because most them are among them who ruled the world and they still have this confusion that they are the best, and any religion they follow is the best ??

Had the rulers been the Muslim, they would have the same superiority complex

I heard the other day that 1 out of 2 marriages now end in divorce. It gets worse for subsequent marriages after a divorce. I'm sure it isn't any one reason. I like to blame everything on the Feminists; but in this case, I believe they have influenced women in the Western world to the point where women can barely tolerate men unless of course a man has some oustanding redeeming quality (tall, good looks, rich, etc).

Every Sunday without fail they are there! I don't like being rude but I do need a way to stop them coming. I have tried saying I am a Druid but that only makes me some sort of challenge. They show me terrible art work that is meant to be the kingdom of heaven. There is always a panda in the picture which I don't really get.
I hide behind the door or duck down out of view. This is ridiculous but I almost feel like I am being stalked. I am of course talking about Jehovah's Witnesses.

I need a way to get rid of them on a permanent basis so any ideas would help?
