I am just curious. My reason for coming here is actually many reasons. I am here hoping to brighten someones day, learn a few things, and yes to defend my faith against untruths and misconceptions. But my main aim is the same as my life, to alleviate anothers suffering and to brighten someones day.
Peace Be With You,
Debra

Well Debra, really I don't entirely disagree with your philosophy. There are plenty of strange people and questions/answers posted, but there are also plenty of witty, intelligent and interesting questions/answers. It might be about a philosophical debate or something totally light and humourous. The point is the same it makes me smile, it might make me think, but it also allows me to feel in some way I am touching someone else's life, as mine too is being touched. Take care.

Debra, you just singlehandedly restored my faith in humanity. I answer Q's to honestly help people. I try to ignore the juvinille, biggoted, ignorant, assanine questions some ask and oftentimes ask myself.."with all this nonsense, is it worth it?"
The answer is, of course, yes! As long as I can help one person, no matter how insignificant...I've done my deed. It's almost like a microcosm, this Yahoo answers in regard to the whole of the world.
There are those that are good and only want to help, then there are others who would otherwise spread hatred, not bother to learn to spell or read or simply be ignorant.
I'm glad to see someone else see's it my way sweetie!

To spread the Gospel to an unbelieving group. Plant a few seeds, and let the Holy Spirit work in someone. I have this hope that one day I'll be in Heaven, and some will come over to me and say "Ted, I've been waiting a long time to thank you. I'm here today because of something you wrote in Yahoo". If I can help lead one person to Christ, the time I spend here is well worth it.

Yes, Debra, well said young lady. This is also why I like to answer peoples' questions. As you can see, I don't ask many.
Love and joy to you.

I have been around a while now, have been through many real life situations. Have always wanted to assist when I can. So here I am, for those who seek advice. Hopefully I can help.

I'm mainly here because where I am I'm usually just preaching to the converted or to the deaf. I'd like to understand why people believe what they believe and maybe get a chance or three to discuss things.

I like to find people with genuine questions and give them the truth of God's Word.
