My own confusion is why people can't detect the people pretending to be Christian trolls. Everytime I point them out I get called an insensitive know-it-all. Which I am, but that's not the point! ;)
Edit: Also, no one detect hypotheticals. Someone asked if it was a sin to steal food if you were hungry and something like 12 people said "How can you be hungry when you have Internet?" Idiots give me a headache....

The world is not flat. There are photos of the earth taken from space, and they clearly show that the earth is globe shaped. Also, if the earth were flat, then wouldn't we notice that it took longer to sail around the south pole than it does to sail around the north pole? I know that photos can be faked, but wouldn't someone have spilled the beans on this conspiracy by now?
And yes, I have noticed that sarcasm generally remains undetected on Yahoo Answers.

The historic previous of how Christianity began may well be the genetic fallacy. no remember if the international is greater without or with faith is undesirable for countless reasons: a million) we don't comprehend precisely what it would be like without faith (until you have chose to apply Stalin's Russia as an occasion), so we won't be able to truthfully evaluate without excessive conjecture, and a pair of) It has no bearing on the certainty claims of religion itself. One won't be able to choose a philosophy with the aid of the strikes of its adherents. This, too, might probable lead to a logical fallacy if argued the two way. 3) As one answerer stated, examine the variety of folk who faith has killed. yet this could be a a million/2-certainty and an fool's errand. what share did Stalin, Polpot, and Mao kill interior the call of Godlessness? back, you may not choose a philosophy with the aid of its adherents. Her argument quantities to a thinly veiled advert hominem and has no weight in an clever communicate. i might sidestep the two a sort of subjects and concentration on the classical arguments of God's existence and the arguments against. The argument from morality. The teleological argument for God's existence. The ontological argument (a techniques bender there). The kalam cosmological argument. each of those has had volumes written approximately them with the aid of Christians and atheists alike, and those are the long-status arguments precisely because of the fact they are nicely thought out, and collectively as not conclusive, are actually not riddled with fallacies, that would desire to be the purpose of a debate.

OH THEY CAN DETECT IT...there just to kind, considerate and mature to be rude and obnoxious like others.
Not everyone debates with unkind words, only those who are immature.
It should be debated with mature people, not name callers and people that just don't care about the feelings of others.
Both believers and nonbelievers should be treated with mutual respect. And if someone cant do that, then they have no business discussing it with those of us who can.
Have a great new year !

Although I caught on to your question and didn't answer it, a lot of these tongue in cheek questions are heard to detect. since I cannot tell the tone of your voice over text I cannot always detect sarcasm, and trust me there are people on this site that are dumb enough to believe every word of the bible, so it's hard to tell who is serious and who isn't.

Religion is a sensitive subject, no room for sarcasm. Want to goof around don't do it in religion debates.

A lot of religious people take this site seriously for some reason. That's what makes serious answers to stupid questions so amusing.

I don't think it's sarcastic, I think you decided to change your intent only after most answers gave you reasons for your silly question - reason you did not consider before submitting the question.
Now you're pretending you did not mean it.
