your religion (extremely) when you don't really understand it for yourself, how is that going to make you feel? And do you think that it would give an affect on your adult life?
PS Any religion!!

Opinion and freedom to view an opinion is our most important freedom. Why I sympathise with you at 12 maybe you are not mature enough to understand we are all different and have varying opinions. Religion is always a hot topic and as you grow up you will learn that you never discuss religion at work or in general discussion as you will always offend someone.
Maybe you parents should put a net nanny on this site until you understand that freedom of speech means you are not always going to hear nice things.

I haven't been 12 for a long time.
I was, in fact, 13, when I made up my own mind what path I was to follow. I chose to follow the Occult, because that felt, to me, to be the most spiritual and "in tune" of all the choices available. I spent the next four years questioning the establishment religion my folks brought me up under; but I let it all drop for a few years afterwards, because I had more pressing matters to deal with.
I didn't turn fully towards the Occult until I was 23. But I remember the days of my 12th year, when I began thinking these thoughts.
In all honesty, I don't think anyone could have insulted my religion back then. I was already making the process of changing it. The only thing someone could have done, way back then, would have been to have turned me away from /their/ religion, because there would have been no way I would have wanted to join any religion which encouraged that, or any other sort, of bigotry.

MM< that makes me wonder how did the conversation on the internet go? And who are the people that got involved in? Twelve years old, I would not go to websites that I feel would insult me. First, also I would not give out personal information regards me as an individual. Especially when you're twelve years old. Ask your parents to put child safe filters onto your computer. They can ask an computer expert on this. Frankly, I don't think that this will affect you in your adult life. Cause you will be constantly exposed in your school or likely in your environment about situations like that. The overal point that I can give you is this: Learn about your Religion, ask your parents for clearification and also your Religious leaders for assistance. With twelve years old we are trying to understand our world from our point of view. I hope this helps you. Good luck!!!!

First off, my 12 year old would not be browsing the web or Yahoo Answer unsupervised. That is bad parenting.
Secondly, do you think for a second that the answers you read here are all based on truth? They are mostly other's opnions based on their own experiences or their own stupidity.
I would take everything I read on here based on religion with a grain of salt. Religion is man-made. God didn't make religions. Religions were invented because no-one could agree on this or that when "interpreting" the bible. The bible is the definitive source of knowledge for everlasting life IN MY OPINION. Not some yahoo answers....

If you are 12 and even HAVE a religion it is because someone else, probably a parent, has brainwashed it into you. I think seeing that there are other points of view, even when they are harsh, can do nothing but help a person later in life. The real question should be why do we allow adults to brainwash their child in such a manner BEFORE the age of twelve. Humans should be raised to question and look for choices, not blindly believe in something and then be sheltered from anything that doesn't agree with it.

12 year olds should not be on this site and I would be extremely worried about a parent letting their child on it. Their are literally thousands of safe sites for children, don't make adults feel guilty for having their say on a site meant for their entertainment including having an opinion on something not meant for childrens eyes!

I personally don't think Yahoo Answers is appropriate for 12 year old children.

I'm not sure how insulted you can be if you dont truely understand it yourself.
And most comments I see on the religion section should open doors to other possibilities and beliefs, not what has been instilled upon you since birth.

the parents should be there when that happens
to help the young people understand whats going on,
and if the young people is raised in a good home and the teachings are the best that the mom's and dad's can do
the child can still live life in the manner they should.

well its about time that you understand this world. Everyone has there own personal opinions, and eventually when you grow up you will learn to understand that it doesn't matter what other people think and that it shouldn't bother you. Words are just words they can be forgotten in 5 minutes. Everyone is different and you are you and that person is that person. You wil not be able to change other peoples opinions.
