Any connection between intelligence and religion?
Can we all agree that God exists but He is a fictional character?
It is true that Jesus failed miserably and actually died at the end of his career?
Who is the most powerful: The Father, The Son or The Holly Cow?
Is true that Jesus was conceived by spontaneous combustion?
Reason of Violation:Incites Violence or Hatred
So, do you feel incited to violence and hatred by my questions?

Your questions do not seem to be that bad. I've certainly seen much worse. I would not have reported them. I'm assuming that they were probably reported by fundamentalists with little or no sense of humor. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. Anyone can push the abuse button. I'm sure that yahoo is aware of that and won't do anything to you. Good luck.

I have seen worse questions than that and they never get kicked off. Everyone has a different opinion on every subject. I see no violence or hatred in these questions. Just someone who needs answers to clear a confusing mind.
My answers:
1. Yes, there is a connection between intelligence and religion. But, I haven't researched this because I am interested in other things.
2. The existence is in the Bible. I haven't read this yet so I have no comment.
3. Jesus died at the end of his career, but I wasn't there so I don't know how he felt.
4. The Father is the most powerful. At least my dad was, I don't know if other's dads are or not.
5. Jesus had to be made somehow. Still, again I wasn't there to witness this.

"LIMITED FREEDOM OF SPEECH" dude, i personally am not feeling incited to act out some hatred or be violent, nor can i really see how it could affect the emotions of those rational, intelligent human beings out there either. and i am speaking from the christian mind set. i am secure in my faith. i think what we have today, are too many people that fear a ponderance of one's thoughts as you seem to be doing, which until about 6 yrs ago wouldn't have raised nary an eyebrow, but now has become politically incorrect, dare you should incite violence or hate. In today's world post 9/11 we are no longer allowed to make these statements you see. It seems that if we bring up religion today in the manner in which you have it could in fact cause complete chaos, just as speaking ethnity, culture, politics, and sometimes the weather. I think you understand what I mean, when I say everyone is more sensitive these days, more easily offended. Nerves are raw, tensions are high. What used to be easy to let roll, is something that sets someone off now. It may not be the intent of the individual speaking of course, but the person interpreting what is said just responds. It's sad that is how it is now, but all this terrorism, war, and everything has brought us to this kind of living, where the things that you used to just be able to ponder about your spirituality or lack there of, are now having to be done a little more discreetly. Limited freedom of speech buddy. That is the way of the day these days. Just to keep peace, which is what we all want, to get along.

Okay now that I kind of take personally, U see I think everybody has a right to make what ever decisions they want and believe whatever they want to believe, but for those of us who do believe in Jesus, or god, regardless of how u think or feel, wonder do u have to try so hard to ruin someone else's optomism, I'm not saying ur a horrible person for not believing in god or jesus, but I am saying that it's wrong to be vindictive and cruel, and to try to make people believe ur philosophies,
Now I'm not judging u, I'm sure ur a good person whose just tired and frustrated with christians and catholics damning u to hell for what u believe in, but I promise u those aren't real followers of Jesus because they are vindictive and cruel, real followers belive in forgiveness, repentence and tolorence,
God/ Jesus would never force u to belive in him whether he's real or not, is not the question, it's about what u can learn through the messages of christianity as well as most other religions about being virtuous and having Good morals and being a good person, and I felt incited by frustration not hatred, but people have the right to believe what they want to believe, and by making fun of and insulting and trying to disprove others beliefs and traditions u r becoming the type of person u despise!!!

No, I do not feel violent nor do I feel any hatred! I get the same notice of violations. I have found out that you do NOT have (total) free speech in America! Now days nut cases will kill you if you say the wrong things, so let this be a warning to you to tone it down when asking any questions! Think about your question first, such as: Will it offend anyone? Will it make anyone angry? Will it lead to you being reported? And so on, and so on.
Good luck in asking questions! Personally I liked your questions, but I am just one person, I can't speak for the majority!

I guess I feel a tiny bit offended, but not much more than I do from every other atheist on this site who desperately tries to dispell christians's faith.
I do feel more sorry for you, and pray that you will be able to find the answers to your ever so amusing questions yourself, without the need to try and annoy or offend others.
I worry how you will fair when it comes to your judgement day, and I pray that you will find it within you and that you are big enough to ask for forgiveness. Don't worry, you can ask those questions all day long, it dosn't matter really as no one will really care and will only pity you.
Good luck, and God bless

The questions as you list them here do not incite violence or hatred in my opinion. They are merely in poor taste and incite anger in some people. However, I withhold judgement because I do not know if you had additional information posted with the original questions.

The more intellectual your are the more you interrelate to God existence.
If God is fictional character, you won't be asking this question.
If you really believe what you are saying in your question is true, then you are not worthy to be given an answer. What facts do you have to logically ask these contemptible questions.
Go become Muslim, it exactly suits you.

These questions are obviously intended to be silly. No rational person could perceive them as inciting violence or hatred.
