Why don't people on this board answer serious questions about religion?

Question

Whenever I post a question that is tongue in cheek, or just kidding around, I get tons of answers, or if make a statement that is controversial. But when I post sincere, theologic questions, I get blank stares and tumbleweeds?

Answer 1

I try to answer any question that fits this criteria:

1) Comprehendable

2) I may know the answer to or could expand on

3) Isnt asked when I am away from the computer

4) Doesn't have 13 question marks or misspelled cusses

5) Doesnt end in "what should I do?"

Answer 2

First of all it must be known who the God of heaven is, since upon that all the other things depend. Throughout all heaven no other than the Lord alone is
acknowledged as the God of heaven. There it is said, as He Himself taught,

That He is one with the Father; that the Father is in Him, and He in the Father; that he who sees Him sees the Father; and that everything that is holy goes forth from Him (John 10:30, 35; 14:9-11; 16:13-15).

I have often talked with angels on this subject, and they have invariably declared that in heaven they are unable to divide the Divine into three, because they know and perceive that the Divine is One and this One
is in the Lord. They also said that those of the church who come from this world having an idea of three Divine beings cannot be admitted into heaven,
since their thought wanders from one Divine being to another; and it is not allowable there to think three and say one.{1} Because in heaven everyone speaks from his thought, since speech there is the immediate product of the thought, or the thought speaking. Consequently, those in this world who have divided the Divine into three, and have adopted a different idea of each, and have not made that idea one and centered it in the Lord, cannot be received into heaven, because in heaven there is a sharing of all thoughts, and therefore if any one came thinking three and saying one, he would be at once found out and rejected. But let it be known that all those who have not separated what is true from what is good, or faith from love, accept in the other life, when they have been taught, the heavenly idea of the Lord, that He is the God of the universe. It is otherwise with those who have separated faith from life, that is, who have not lived according to the precepts of true faith (Heaven and Hell n.2).

Answer 3

I think it's because people don't really come to the religion/spirituality section to get real answers or to ask real questions.

They come here to either mock, or to attack another person's beliefs.

Just be serious, and hopefully others will start changing.

YOU have to take the first step to change something you don't like, only then will others follow your steps and do the same.

Peace.

Answer 4

May be the players find your tongue in cheek questions more entertaining.

Answer 5

They probably think you already know the answer so why answer you. It usually ends up in a fight anyways.

Answer 7

I've noticed that to.... Sorry I will pay more attention, but I think all humans are drawn to drama....

Answer 8

look up "yahoo" in a dictionary. this word had a meaning before 90-ies, and it answers your question.

Answer 9

There is a degree of difference between your seriousness and theirs. Your name is indicative of your inner feelings. That is the index of your character. Why should you blame others?

Answer 10

You should ask them a serious question like, "What countries should the Christians invade next?"
