From reading back the answers that i get on my questions, i am now officially a muslim-christian-buddhist, a straight-gay guy-girl, who's smart, stupid, ignorant, sweet, nice, brilliant, bigotted, unevenly yolked, intelligent, dumb cow. I'm also 8 years old, and 6 years old at the same time.
is it ok with you that i still don't have an identity-crisis?

Funny, an interesting phenomenon. I once was chastised for not realizing that Christianity (it was assumed I was a Christian) is not the only religion, and told I was very ignorant and arrogant for not knowing this, after I wrote a question primarily addressed towards Christians about something I wanted to know about their faith. Incidentally I am an atheist, and wasn't assuming anything, I was just asking about Christianity.
People do this all the time "well, liberals like you..." or "Christians like you..." etc. They assume that any opinion they don't like comes from a group they don't like. They don't want to think that they disagree with anyone from THEIR group, because then how much part of the group would they be? Afraid of independent thought, I think.

Would you believe I've had people e-mail me and tell me I lead an unfulfilled life, that I'm shallow, that my heart is closed to love, that I'm obviously disrespectful to people, that I'm uneducated, and that I probably have a horrible life that consists of no belief system or anything that contains meaning - all because of answers I've given or questions I've asked! What is up with that? Like my entire personality and life are on display, open for judgment and interpretation just because I participate on Yahoo Answers?! If it was that easy to know someone and diagnose their problems, we would never need therapists!
Some people around here are so judgmental and self-righteous. But it doesn't really surprise me, since it seems like they are the balance of what's proliferated in society. We cool people need to stick together! =D

Our much stronger our country would be if EVERYONE took responsibility for their own feelings and sanity, stopped blaming others for calling them a name (you didn't, and I'm pleased you don't base your identity on such nonsense).
We would have more free speech with less name-calling, and what name-calling occured would not be illegal, but would be answered by everyone.
Keep speaking up. I must assume (illogically and in parody) that you must, since these people were trying to insult you by calling you things that you aren't, that you must be:
A Hindu-Atheist, bi-sexual, average intelligence, ...etc., and,...a...seven years old!
I'll be friends. I'm a lot of things, too. It's a singularly American thing to be.

Perhaps you should seek professional advice for your schizophrenia.
Actually, if I'm seriously interested in what a person believes, I'll read his other questions and answers.

Probably because you're asking stupid questions with bad grammar.

PEOPLE ASSUME THEY KNOW YOU BECAUSE ITS JUST WHAT THEY DO. AFTER EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE DESCRIBED I'M SURPRISED THAT 1- I FOLLOW EVERYTHING AND 2-THAT YOU DONT HAVE AN IDENTITY CRISIS. PEOPLE JUST LOVE TO JUDGE B/C ITS IN THEIR NATURE AND THEY THINK THAT THEY ARE GOD.

Well, you should probably watch what you ask. Be careful of the impression that people get.
