agnostics, pagans etc?

Most of the "questions" would actually be tales of woe combined with a request for prayers.
Others would be spamming with requests for people to post "Amen" or "Hallelujah" or some other Christian praise.
Yet more spam with "questions" like : "What is your favorite Bible verse?", "Isn't God great?", "When will Jesus return to save us?", etc.
And there would be no one to counter stupid arguments like : "Fossils are the work of Satan ... there were no dinosaurs as it would preclude the literal interpretation of Genesis" and "Are we seeing the end of times".
The Muslims, Wiccans, and perhaps even the Catholics would be run off by the overwhelming majority of protestant denominations ganging up on their "cults".

It would look like many churches where the believers only want to talk to each other. They wouldn't sully themselves with or take the time to go out into the world and help the people who REALLY need it. In short it would be like the temples in the time of Jesus where the Scribes, Pharisees, and Saducees condemned and persecuted others who they thought of as "less Godly" than themselves. I get sick of churches who condemn people for going to places like bars or any other place where non-believers hang out because it "wouldn't be setting a good example." The truth is, so called Christians are setting a bad example by staying in the churches, associating only with Christians, and running around telling non Christians (and already saved Christians as well) that they are going to hell for this or that or the other thing. What would Christ do? Take a LOOK at what Christ and His apostles did. They hung out in bars and drank wine (not grape juice... look up the original Greek and discover the true meaning if you don't believe me), they hung around with prostitutes, the sick, the posessed (some would call them insane), the ungodly, the poor, the distressed, and anyone else who needed help. People like you who want to keep yourselves "set apart" from others are only adding to the growing problem.
Love, Hope, & Peace,

i dont like you people so i have been jumping in when i see something come by on the see everything page. i never paid much attention to the categories but from now on i will . so if it is under r& s i will leave it alone. never again will i come in and make my snide to horrific remarks and i think others should do the same or at least as much as they can. it would be good too if you could keep gods name out of most of the answers you give in other categories and instead use common sense or educated answers based on reality and not on a fairy tale book that holds no water. good luck and have a good day. i will be much happier without you and i know you will not miss me one bit. it will be good like that.

I am hoping that you are meaning "pagan" as someone who does not believe in any deities. I am devoutly religious and polytheist so refer to myself as pagan (or neo-pagan). The majority of people who refer to themselves as pagan today are religious--they simply do not believe in the religion of the Abrahamic god. Do you mean what would it be like if only those who believed in the Abrahamic god were the only ones on here? I think it would be like any non-denominational yahoo group of Christians (there are plenty of them).
If you are asking what would it be like if only those who have a belief in deity/ies were on here, I think it would be okay. But I like the perspective of atheists and they have challenged me to look deeper into my beliefs. I like being able to see views that I am unfamiliar with. I have only known one atheist in my life so their views are very foreign to me but interesting. I don't have anywhere else where I can learn why atheists feel the way they do. I don't feel threatened by them at all and their reasoning is usually very logical. I can't see myself ever agreeing with them but I respect their views and enjoy their food for thought.

In some ways it would be most enlightening. Believers could devote time to a discussion of the wonders of the Lord. On the other hand, how much do we deepen our faith and understanding of the Lord by sharing the gospel with unbelievers? Didn't Jesus ask us to go out and make disciples of all nations? I think Yahoo answers provides a great forum to share the Word of God. Are we converting everyone we speak with...I would refer you to the parable of the seeds...will some of what we share fall on hard ground? You bet, but I also know that every time we share our faith we can affect the world and change it for the better.

It would be nothing but people saying how much they like god... There would be no reason for this section... As it is, this section provides a place for the discussion, sharing, and debating of beliefs. If there were no other points of view, this section would be absolutely dull...

Apparently it would have no-one left who knew that pagans are believers.
