Only the last one, starjumper answered properly, I salute her.

Here's the thing about questions and answers, I don't really understand some things in Christianity, mainly because I was never a Christian. So, I ask these sort of questions to get some clarification.

Instead, they answer back full of hatred and "out of context" and "you don't understand". If it is out of context, why can't you just put it back in context? I know muslims have no problem doing this.

If I don't understand, that's the reason I asked in the first place. Why can't you give me a clear answer? Unless of course you yourself don't know the answer.

So guys, how do I stop myself from hitting the keyboard with my face due to frustration?

Answer 1

I think deep down, Christians know their religion is a total load of crap.

Or maybe they're just too dumb to think for themselves.

The jury's out.

Answer 2

Patience my friend. Patience.

Two things occur to me. Firstly, you are always going to get those who either feel a question is an attack on their beliefs (quite why they come here, I'm not sure) or who have no answer and so just quote 'read this'. You just have to sort the wheat from the chaff (which for the most part is not too hard).

Secondly, it seems to me you sure packed a lot into your last question. Now you may be able to distill your beliefs into a short space, but most people can't. Particularly when it comes to something like religion. So perhaps break up your questions a bit in future? That way you're more likely to get views on each and every aspect of what you have asked.

Maybe that'll help. I hope so. And if not, try breathing extra slowly! Good luck and thank you for your enquiring mind.

Answer 3

I've given answers over and over to people about the Christian faith. Generally the questions I see on here are attempts to mock or disprove Christianity. When asked in that context, what answer would you expect to get?

If you're intelligent, then you should have no problems reading the Scriptures. The main problem is that people do not read ALL the passages, but only portions of them. And when they read it that way, they take the entire meaning out of context. That is why you receive the answer, "You've taken it out of context".

I hear people say to me, "Your God is a genocidal killer because He ordered the Israelites to attack so and so..." But if they had read the entire story, then they would see WHY He ordered it. But they choose not to. It's easier to read a little of this and a little of that, and then come to some off the wall conclusion in order to whip up on Judeo-Christian beliefs.

The Bible is there for all to read. And you have to read it in a spiritual frame of mind. It's not a text book. That's what makes it so unique.

Pose your questions civily and respectfully, and most will give you an honest answer. If not, then you can continue to whip yourself with your keyboard, I'll just sit here and watch.

Answer 4

Most of them certainly did not answer "full of anger". You, however, decided to focus on the ones that were somewhat annoyed. Why didn't you ask your questions one at a time? And one of the responders was kind enough to answer all you asked. I'm surprised that anyone took the time to answer each and ever one. That is an awful lot to ask in one question. If you want a primer on Christianity, go out and buy one. Oh sure, you know that every Muslim would have no problem doing that. Baloney.

Answer 5

When U ask question, U should anticipate some of the answers are not enlightening your doubt. Not everybody will answer your question honestly and knowledgeably. Some nasty responder will ridicule, insult, embarrass, humiliate and even used four letter words in their answers. As such, do not get yourself carried away with such answers. Just ignore them and select the answers that benefit U and others.

Answer 6

I answered the prior question, and hoped that that would suffice. You cannot give a sensible explanation for something which is inherently nonsense, which is the case with the entire Christian theology. (Sort of like asking, how would you calculate the square root of an oak tree.)

Answer 7

Adia...

I Think you're Muslim.. and if this is right, you have no right to challenge christians, according to the Quran and Hadith, you are not supposed to Discuss their religions Unless "They come to you and ask"... Remmeber What Muhammed Said: "Whomsoever hurts a christian, hurts me!"

Remove your question and stop this please...

Answer 8

The answer is simple, if rather depressing. Those people feel you are questioning thier beliefs. In return they strike out at you for that. Obviously of course they can't be very strong beliefs or else someone else questioning them wouldn't anger them so, but there you have it. Had I seen your question sooner, perhaps I could have given you the answers you saught but who is to say. At least I can answer this one for you.

Answer 9

your asking about "how to stop hitting the keyboard my your face due to frustation??"

its easy man, stop asking anything regarding ANY RELIGION, why?? cause religion is the root of all conflict.

people even killed for defending their religion, so dont started the fire, if you dont want to feel the heat or get burn.

Answer 10

You are Muslim,why would you ask a atheists help.You asked for a Christian answer and you got that.

Answer 11

by thinking about how painful it would be. you can't help all the nutcases out there who simply give their speech, regardless of the question. you have to sigh, cry, laugh, and move on
