I see repeated posting from people insulting Christians and their beliefs very often on here and they are allowed to post at will. When non offensive answers are posted to these it seems that the abuse crew find this to be offensive.

A Mormom asked what others opinion was of the LDS church. I stated the in my opinion it was a cult (can provide studies to prove it) and that there was recovery groups for those that had left the LDS. Now it seems after 4 months (was posted in August) Yahoo has deemed that to be in violation of the guidelines.

It is not the points that are the issue. It is the glaring fact the christian bashers can post without any problem and at will but say anything against any other religious group and YA abuse crew will violate you.

P.S. Don't bother to click the link in the violation notice. You can defend yourself but all you get from YA is a cut and paste reply and they never give a real reponse.

The dead sea scrolls were discovered in the early 1950s which verified Isaiah, and other books. Seeing Revelation was written in the first century, should'nt original copy still be kept some where?

Would you "wire" £200 to a Yahoo "friend", that you have never actually met, if they emailed you to say thay had been mugged and lost all thier money, passports, etc, and were stuck in Geneva trying to get back to Spain.

He has eerything he needs...but I want to get him some fun stuff. He also likes the OC, his dog and chicken parmesean. Just thought I'd throw the last one in for the Hell of it.

Were you or have you ever known anyone who was shy? If so what did you/they do to overcome it and become a more sociable person?

Whether you are religious or not, if you were the only God, what would you on Earth? Would there be a conscious existence after life (if life would end)? and if so, what would the afterlife be like?

Do you think other religions are silly/stupid/unbelievable? Do you find them hard to swallow?

I'm not trying to bait anyone here. I just want to know what you think

I know its a cliche. I don't celebrate Christmas in the Christian sense, I celebrate it in the old school yule sense i.e. bringing light into winter,celebrating family time, gift giving etc. I got back from a shopping trip in London yesterday and I'm starting to seethe with the commercialism of it all. Whats your favourite bit of the whole festive season?

The Eastern Orthodox faith don't practice Christmas every December 25. They have something about Feast of the Nativity -- probably closest to the Christian Christmas. So I'm just wondering if I were to greet someone of the East Orthodox faith a Merry Christmas, what is the equivalent greeting? Thank you!

I ask because, even though I am not religious, I know that historically and geographically the Bible is accurate and I also know that through out the world there are myths of a great flood in many cultures and religious beliefs and stories of a great flood that have been passed down generation to generation……But is there any Geological or scientific evidence?

Last year at my fathers company xmas party there was around 150 people, mainly older people including a couple in their late 50's who i will call Geoff and Jean. (hoping they're not reading this)

It was around 11pm and everyone was well oiled and fed so all in a good mood, a few daft games, a few speaches and jokes so on with the dancing.

The DJ started to play some Country music at the request of my father who promptly announced on the mike that Jean must come to the dance floor to show everyone how to Line Dance.

She had been going to Line Dancing for over two years and my father thought it would be a bit of fun but she had to be dragged onto the floor and it quickly came apparent she had no idea how to Line Dance at all.

Her husband then started screaming at her in front of everyone because he then knew the truth, she'd been having an affair for all that time and had been having sex with her lover on tuesday nights!

Why do You Hang on to the so called "Prophecies" of the coming of Jesus, yet you completely disregard the Verses stating that homos should be killed in the SAME TESTAMENT!!!

Either take it all, or leave it all, you can't Choose what you like, because it's ALL from God as you claim.

Your thoughts on this?

The treaty of Tripoli, from 1796, states:

:As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,-and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, . . ."
