Alot of times, in the Religion and Spirituality section, when I ask a question, I'll add in my details that I would appreciate it if people would be respectful of the ideas and beliefs of others. Why would anyone find this to be offensive?
Any ideas about this?
I have also added, at the bottom of some of my questions, that I will not consider "bashers" or trolls for "Best Answer".
Do you think this is impolite?
Why or why not?

I'm curious to know if the bible is indeed God's word, why you haven't read it completely, if you haven't. Thanks.

It seems to me from watching science programs that scientists are always trying find what's plausible about the Bible.
If you ever watch the Discovery Channel, Science Channel or the National Geographic, you will see many scientists trying to show that many of the "miraculous" things in the Bible can actually be explained through science.
And other things that seem to implausible are often considered exaggerations by scientists, not flatout lies.
Why then do so many Christians believe many scientists only try to discredit or undermine Biblical stories?

Why can't you accept God for who He is?

It sounds offensive and I'm sure it trivializes the question. I notice that it is only atheists that do it. I just think it's another minor annoyance on YA to contend with. Why be rude to honest questions ? It sounds sarcstic like "I'll drink to you because of your stupidity". I appreciate it when atheists do NOT continue this childish game.

why, when this realization of imaginary creatures went away, did your belief in god not go with it.

...does the Bible say, “For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” (Gal. 6:8)?

And wouldn't that cause us to be more tolerant of others and their respective religious beliefs instead of judging everyone?

Keep in mind there is a difference between 'description' and 'definition'.

Someone just made god up so why do we need to have a lack of evidence to say it doesn't exist.

The FSM doesn't exist.

There are mountains of evidence to say it does but it doesn't.

God has even less evidence than the FSM.

"Question with boldness even the existence of god; because if there be one, he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear."
~Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson was a lot smarter than i was and phrased it better than i could. but, if you believe in god, than you believe that god gave us logic and reason, right? so wouldn't he want us to use those tools? and if those tools tell us he doesn't exist...

I was an athiest for years, I don't recall having one Christian tell me I was going to hell, just those idiot televangelists on the TV.
For goodness sake! I lived IN Colorado Springs when Focus on the Family became big, and still never had anyone tell me that, of course, I didn't care enough to ask them what they thought either.
So I guess the question is this,
Are Christians just coming up and telling people, "You're going to burn." or is it because you asked them?

When you consider that we spend our lives growing up, to earn money so that we can buy luxuries that entertain us till we die. With the exclusion of love, do you think there is anything actually WORTH living for?

Interested in serious answers as I believe people place far to much faith in superficial belongings, myself included.

I mean, what would we do if the worlds technology collapsed tomorrow? We would be screwed as we have become reliant on it..

Thoughts please :)

For those Protestants:

Tradition is NOT more important than Scripture, it is COMPLEMENTARY to Scripture. The Bible didn't arrive by fax from God, and Jesus passed his teachings orally to His Apostles, who in turn passed it verbally on to their own students and disciples in Christ, LONG before any of it was written down. Paul's epistles were written 30-50 years after Jesus died, and the Gospels 50-100 years after He died.

Where was Scripture in that time? Oops, there wasn't any in the New Testament! Did Christianity disappear in between when Jesus died and the New Testament was written? Most Protestants think so, but if you are able to open your eyes and do a bit of research, you will see that TRADITION CAME DIRECTLY FROM JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, AND IS THE FIRST BASIS OF CHRISTIANITY AFTER HIS DEATH.

Guess what? The Catholics and Orthodox had it right all along.

Research, logic and questioning the accepted status quo isn't a sin, but ignorance, is!
