What would happen if Atheists and non-Christians stopped answering Christian questions?

Question

Would this section just turn into Yahoo! Testimonials?

I apologize for lumping Agnostics in with non-Christians and not Atheists. I should have just put non-Christians.

Forgive me.

Answer 1

You've obviously asked a 'nervy' question . . .
Awesome answers so far, and the right-wing christian population seems to not be answering as often, or as caustically as I observed them to, a couple of weeks ago. . .
Perhaps that particular 'energy' occurs in waves?
I prefer to peruse this site when all's calm on the religion front. . .
Crusaders, zealots, and wanna-bees - all resting peacefully. . . in watchful silence. . .

PS - comment on your 'details' . . .
Don't the C followers believe that they are not perfect?
Just forgiven? . . . and you ask for forgiveness? That's 'telling'

Just gotta luv Yahoo Answers 'interactive' feature. . . (edit/details)

Answer 2

Actually, I proposed something like that in one of my recent questions.

People would have REALLY interesting discussions about what the Bible has to say, and how to apply it. There'd be encouragement and support, and leads to good books on topics one might express an interest in....There's be conflict too, but hopefully it would be USEFUL informative respectful debate. (Or it could turn into a war over minor points of doctrine. I know human nature too well not to realize that is also a possibility.)

There's a place for respectful interaction between believers and unbelievers, too, and neither Christians or nonchristians would answer one anothers questions if they didn't WANT to have some sort of impact (for good or ill.) There should be both kinds of sections, open Spirituality questions, and then members-only sections for Jews only, Christians only, Shiite Muslims only, Sunni Muslims only, Pagans only, etc.

By the way, what sort of atmosphere would prevail in an Atheists only forum, I wonder.

Answer 3

The world would blow up? No, seriously, I think what would actually happen would be that Christians would just be picking fights with other Christians. Even if non-Christians stopped answering questions aimed at Christians altogether, there are still plenty of things that one brand of Christianity believes in but another disagrees with. There are still plenty of fights yet to be fought, even within Christianity. That is, after all, a rather wide umbella term, embracing very large and varied beliefs. Instead of Yahoo!Testimonials, I think we'd have the equivalent of a schismatic debate.

Answer 4

Perhaps. But many of the questions are from Christians who don't understand things about Christian beliefs, so I'm sure it would continue to be a productive forum. But I ask that you don't leave. I hope that reading and responding to enough of these questions will open your eyes, your mind & your heart and allow you to accept Christ as your savior.

Answer 5

Everyone would agree too much, so nothing interesting would happen. The other possibility is that Christians who don't agree would go at it all the time thus providing at least some amusement to everyone who stopped answering.

Answer 6

Not really,The questions would continue.It would turn from "showing the proof of how god is real" to "what is god showing us right now".It wouldnt be testimonials but serious conversations on the times were living in.

Answer 7

They'd have to change the section into the christian section rather than Religion and spiritual section, I guess...

Answer 8

Then the Xtians would win, and that would be a worldwide catastrophe. We must keep putting things in proper perspective to avoid that horrifying conclusion.

Answer 9

Probably. Rational people are the last line of defence between the constitution and a theocracy.

Answer 10

Each question would get 3 responsed from the same 3 people who would just say 'Yes! Amen!' over and over.
