It's not like I go around flagging all of thier answers that I don't agree with. I mean isn't there something about turning the other cheek in the bible? Don't be so petty. Most people in the world don't agree with you, you can believe I'm going to hell, it really doesn't bother me what you believe. I might believe in unicorns or gnomes, and that shouldn't bother you either. People's beliefs are thier own. So I ask, why force yours on me? (and please don't say "to save me" because I know you don't like me, and you should know I don't like you, so let's dispence with the formalities.)

You have already answered your own question. By openly displaying your intolerance for the views of people who dont think like you, you've clearly demonstrated how deep your intolerance runs.
You've also demonstrated that you openly judge other people. "I mean isn't there something about turning the other cheek in the bible?" You've taken something you claim not to believe in, and used it to judge the beliefs and actions of others.
So the real question here is, why are you trying to force your views on people who don't believe like you?
(and please don't say you're not intolerant, as your statements have already refuted that bogus claim).
So, like most of the liberal leftist extremists, you preach one thing yet practice another. Extremists such as yourself only practice "tolerance" of the views of others as long as you agree with it.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Are you sure it's religious people flagging you? Maybe there's a conspiracy to make believers look bad. Or maybe some people are just so thin-skinned. I don't know why people flag different opinions. Most atheist questions make me laugh or shake my head or simply move on. Muslims seem to flag a lot. Don't say anything about Muhammad. BTW, I know I can't save you and I don't care if you like me or not. I still love you and all people.
May God Bless you.

I don t know why they do that. I once stated a story, to make them think about there own judgements, and they always get angery when ever they read it, cause they see truth in it. im not into Any religion. I believe also, that unicorns once existed, and may still . I believe that we survive death. Anyhow here is the story that I usually put down in there response to conversion and judgement, when they try and tell another that one is going to hell. A Lord owned a large beautifull land, which had many people living on it whom He loved. One day, the Lord decides to take a journey away from his land. He leaves no body in charge , because every body on the land are his children, both daughters and sons. As time goes by, some of the people begin to lose faith and fear, so much in fact, that they begin to believe that if they do not do certain things, they will be punished when there Father, the Lord, returns.
They give themselves the title of Leader, and begin to preach to others in the land, there belief s, and warn everyone that if they do not do as the Leader says , then there Father, the Lord, shall punish them when He returns.
Some begin to follow the Leader, and others decide not to, for they know How much there Father, the Lord truely loves them.
Yet the Leader and his followers, decide to banish those whom do not follow him, and throw others out of the land.
One day, the Lord of the land, there Father, finally Returns. And when He does, He notices that many of his children were not there.
Asking around , He finds out what happened, and therefore, brings forth to Him, the leader and all the leaders followers.
And the Lord, there Father, asks them ," You sent forth some of my children from there Home here in my land . Why did you do this?"
The leader and his followers answered," We did this for You, showing our love to you we did so in your name too , to cleanse your land my lord father."
With this, the Lord, Father got Very angery, " You did NOTHING for ME ! You have sent forth MY CHILDREN into Darkness and what s worse is You did so In my NAME !! For this YOU shall recieve the SAME punishment you gave those you judged."
And with that said, He banished the leader and all his followers , and threw them out of his land into darkness

I think you can guard yourself very well even if anyone dare to force you to follow his faith. But how can anyone force you when we are all engaged in the Yahooanswer? Anyway, it is the responsibility for all Christians to share the faith and its benefits. It is God's responsibility to turn you in or out.
God is omniscience, none can deceive Him. He knows you through and through. He wants you to be clear and not be confused to believe in anything for the sake of belief. He wants you to be smart and intelligent to choose the right thing so that you don't go under by mistake.

The only answers I flag/report are porn and vulgarity. I have never told anybody they are going to hell and would/have never forced my beliefs on anybody. On the other hand, you say you don't like me, sounds illogical and immature basing it only on the fact that I believe differently than you, sounds like you're the judgemental bigot you're putting down.

I like your question and the answer you've gotten so far-this is true about them shoving it down your throat and when your gag reflex kicks in-they hold your mouth closed. And as I recall all americans have the freedom of SPEECH! so say what ever you so desire-tell how you really feel Besides most religious people I know are selective in their beliefs to fit their own lifestyle

People are weird and YA doesn't review flag requests.
Someone once asked people to describe themselves in 3 words.
I said: "No F***ing Absolutism." That was it, but I got flagged for making fun of someone (basically).
It made no sense, but whatever. Just gotta learn to let it go.

This abuse of power is not merely a Christian thing I am Christian and have receive violations that were clearly not violations many times...It is a problem with Yahoo answers that hopefully one day they will work out.

dont take it personally, judging by many of the actions/answers/questions on here, most are probably only 12-18yo. someday they'll grow up, just not yet.

If you do not want to be saved, then that is your business. You make your own decisions and are responsible for them. It is our responsibility to warn you and educate you according to the precepts of Christianity. Nobody can force you to do anything against your will, and I certainly will not hold a proverbial gun to your head and threaten you with the Bible. God bless you and go in peace knowing that Jesus loves you and he will accept you into his heart at anytime that you are willing to open up your heart to the Holy Spirit of God.
