Why do so many people seek answers to their religious questions online?

Question

Shouldn't you be going to church/temple or reading religious texts? How many of you actually know the basic tenets of your religion to begin with?

Clearly gangstadad never learned basic grammar. Looks like a question to me.

Answer 1

The plain reason as to why people are looking for answers online, is because they are lazy......
If there weren't lazy the would to go church or temple and consult written texts

Answer 2

If you dont' go to the temple, church, or read the religious texts, how do you find out what you want to know? Online. Should be from the bible but if you go online you can even get the bible in whatever translation you want and even the original texts if you can read it. A lot of people have no religion but putting others down but as for me, I know all the tenets of what I believe and can show anyone in any bible everything that I believe to the letter.

Answer 3

The reason that so many people seek out answers is because... They aren't reading thier Bible Or allowing The Holy Spirit to lead and guide them.They may just want to know how other's view Heaven & Hell.Also, to reach out and minister to people that are deceiving themselves. I know that since I asked the question about Did people believe that hell really existed. I had an unbelieveable response. In which has lead me to pray for those that don't believe In the Biblical account of hell and the terrors that It holds for unbelievers.Doing good deeds and going to church will not get you into heaven.The bible says they're Is not one righteous,not one.JESUS IS COMMING VERY VERY SOON...For all who reads this...Repent Of your Sins..Today Is the day Of salvation.Tomorrow may not come.

Answer 4

i think people who seek such answers are just plain lazy and don't want to work to get the answers.. I did all kinds of reading before I even thought of changing religions.. But I also think some people are confused by what they read and need help, but they should be careful because this can confuse them even more if they don't keep an open mind...

So it really depends on the mind of the person seeking answers

Answer 5

I think it's just easier for most people. I don't really ask questions here, but try to answer a lot, because I want to make sure that the right answers are getting out there about Christianity. There is such a false understanding of who Christ is, if I can help a small bit then I will.

Answer 6

When i was growing up as a child i loved church. Then when i was 15 i quit going, started back in my early 20's i had cameras all in my face, plants everywhere, so it distracted me from worshipping God the way i'd remebered as a child so therefore i choose to worship him alone in in my house. Since that i have lost touch with the word that drives me to look for answers elsewhere since im not getting it in church. I think its good to have preachings on television for some people that can't get out of their house but everybody doesnt want to be on tv or even have cameras in their face. So take the cameras out, all the fake plants that distract me, the lights, .......and i'll go back. Alot of churches don't even do alter calls anymore.

Answer 7

Because most people have no where and/or no one they can ask their religious questions. And that is where the wonders of the internet come in, because the internet joins people all over the world together and some where out there people know someone is able to answer their question.

Answer 8

A lot of people do not understand a preacher/ rabbi / priest becasue they speak from a seminary level. I, for one, like to hear how other people put things because it helps me to understand a different context of a particular passage.
I answer questions for the same reason. I have taught sunday school for several years and there is never a wrong answer- only a different understanding. Any time you seek GOD he will answer you- sometimes it comes from people just like us- sometimes from a nudge you feel in your conscience and sometimes it comes straight from the pulpit on sunday morning. But when GOD speaks to you - you know it.

Answer 9

Perhaps the church or religious group they belong to is not answering their questions in a way that they can comprehend and / or apply it to their everyday life. Most people want an easy way in everything they do including their religious beliefs......I am agnostic but I respect every ones right to think the way they do.

Answer 10

There are always people "searching" to find the truth.

We are able to reach a lot of people online, as well as in person...

We answer questions and if they are still searching, we direct them to go to church and find some one who can help them. Not that we wouldnt normally send them in that direction anyways, but, we can help them a bit, before, and bolster them, and uplift them in thier search for the TRUTH.

I wish you well..
