Since coming to Yahoo Answers and the Religion and Spirituality section what have you learned?

Answer 1

To think before answering. To not answer at all if I am irritated. That it takes about a thousand questions to get a woodcutting skill cape. That people fall back on nitpicking spelling or throwing insults when they don't have an answer. Confirmation that "I do not know" is usually the most accurate opinion.

Answer 2

I have learned there really are stupid questions. lol

Seriously though,

Actually I learned that there are a lot of misinformed people, even fellow ministers who have been a bit confused at times.

I have discovered that regardless of our faiths we each hold steadfast to it.

I have found that people of different faiths can actually help and inspire those of other faiths and how unfortunate that each religion talks of peace and love and yet has a difficult time getting along.

But over all I think everyone on here, Stupid questions included, are building something together that touches us all spiritually. Even those who reject spirituality, through offering points of view we may not get in a church where everyone might think alike.

Despite the very, very few problems, there is great benefit to be had here.

Answer 3

All things are wearisome; man is unable to speak. The eye is not satisfied by seeing or the ear filled with hearing.

What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.

Can one say about anything, “Look, this is new”? It has already existed in the ages before us.

Ecclesiastes 1:8-10

Answer 4

I have learned about different religions and think that there is a common thread in them that binds us together and in that common ground we can find a note of harmony and learn from each other. Perhaps with dialogue there can be found peaceful and rational solutions to enable us to fight the war against ignorance and hatred which blinds us into having a true fellowship with one another . In looking at a lot of different religions , the one part that comes out to me are 2 general themes and there are probably others which is emphasized. It is love your neighbor as yourself and do unto others as you would have them do unto you.I think that is a start and you have to start from somewhere.

Answer 5

That most people that claim to be Christians, haven't the slightest knowledge about what the Bible says. They haven't really picked up the book, that they are so devoted to. Most only know what they've been told as children. And, they are blindly following the words of an older person who told them sweet fairy tales. if I grew up believing in the "boogey man", I'd do whatever they say, too.

Answer 6

I've learned that a lot of people who ask and answer questions on here are VERY young, and often, unfortunately, don't have much in the way of thinking skills yet. I'm SOOOOOO glad that we can block people now. Sooner or later, the trolls and idiots will be blocked by enough people that they simply won't have any questions to answer.

Answer 7

I have learned that as an atheist I am immoral, not actually a disbeliever in god, a minion of Satan, a Christian basher, rude, mean, a degenerate, illogical, not a chosen member, I only have faith and not knowledge in science, and that I am intolerant.

The was of course all news to me.

Answer 8

I have learned that the harvest is way bigger then my first
thoughts and fewer true workers for the harvest . Plus , there
are a whole lot of people who call themselves Christian's that
really have no idea who Jesus is and are just as lost as the
ones that they think they are answering to . It is very sad for
this fact which is fully talked about in the Bible .....

Answer 9

there are so many closeminded people that are afraid to step outside the boundries they have grew up with. so many people that take beliefs as they are with no reason or questioning. most religius persons on here really sound stupid when they try to make a point with mainly hipocrisy and still dont see where they are wrong.

Answer 10

I have learned that while there are some people in R&S who are actually seeking new information, and want to change their lives based on that new info, most are seeking to solidify their position, no matter what group it is:

"Don't confuse this issue with the facts. My mind is made up."
