Religion & Spirituality - 28 June 2007

Why are people so hooked up on seeing a 'rant' in a question and getting defensive, then personally attacking the asker or stereotyping their 'type of people'? Is it really too much to ask in a group who claim to be rational, intelligent, mostly logical people that people ignore 'rants' in answers and just answer what is being asked?
Can we please just answer the questions being asked or is that too much to ask?

In my recent series of questions, a Muslim with the term "JIHAADI" in his name and with a picture of a man dressed in terrorist garb openly admitted that he wanted Muslims to unite and conquer the world.

Amazingly, in my last question about this, a Muslim woman responded with:

Coolred38 “I do not believe that Salafi Jihaadi meant conquer as in kill or genocide...but as in to make sure Islam prevails as the only religion practiced by people” http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApdaRTp7jjkGDs4obUDq_urd7BR.?qid=20070628043603AAKLFwx

In my mind, there can be no doubt that she knows exactly what he meant. So why did she lie?

How common is this, do english speaking Muslims commonly lie about the true disposition of the Islamic community and the popularity of the Jihadist idealogy?

i'm pagan. many people in this forum think i'm atheist because of my questions and answers, and that's ok with me.

but i recently read some answers by what appears to be atheists, that are just disgusting. someone posted a question, thinking they were challenging atheistic scientific beliefs and most of you just insulted the asker, you didn't even attempt to answer!

this is the equivelant to the christians just dropping some bible quote that has no reference to the question, and calling it an answer.

i understand some of their questions are frustrating and make you want to bang your head off the wall, but isn't it better to give them an actual answer to help them see the light of science and logic, instead of reconfirming their stereotypical ideas about atheists, causing them to believe more deeply in their religion?

there is, technically speaking, no such thing as atheism because they accept that there is something to deny, therefore they accept that God is there and denies it.


do you agree with this?

this is what my teacher in theology is teaching us.....

i personally dont agree with this.....


what do you think?

Earlier tonight, I came across some questions posted by trolls. And suddenly, I remembered that fairy tale, the one about the Three Billy Goats Gruff who destroyed the troll...so thinking may be it would lighten things up, I posted "Where are the Three Billy Goats Gruff when you need them?" in answer to the troll's questions.
No one got it. Has everyone here forgotten that story, or is R & S filled with people who have no sense of humor?
