For every faith, what question on your faith do you find difficult to answer?

Question

LOL mike G

Answer 1

Am I doing enough for the world?

Answer 2

My opinion is that the questions posed here on Y!A are the hardest because my experience is that the askers really don't care about the answers. For example, you have atheists who ask questions about the Bible and then say don't use the Bible in your answer. Well, then I have to answer out of my own expeirence and then they say that that isn't factual, sight your source, it's not scientific. I would say 9 times out of 10 you are responding to someone who already has an opinion and they are just looking for someone to play into that opinion. They aren't really looking for the information you have to offer.

How do I relate to these people that "God exists and the Bible is the truth" is something I just know deep in the very core fiber of my being?

Answer 3

I am a scientologist, and I can understand that the whole thing about Xenu flying around in a airplane through the universe 75 million years ago and I can understand the whole soul thing and collecting them in their soul catchers, but I have always had a problem figuring out how he put them into people and how it causes everything bad in the world. That is just the cost of having faith in my religion.

Answer 4

Perhaps the most difficult question for me as an atheist (it's not at all a faith, but whatever) to answer is this:

Does humanity have a chance of survival if religion continues to exist unchallenged?

I really lean towards the answer being "no" and think religion will inevitably wipe out human existence (especially muslims with 14th century beliefs/culture if they get high tech weapons or nukes), but it could really go either way.

Answer 5

How was it this morning that I found three cobs and they had no corn?

I ask myself and it is difficult to answer. A question of faith.

Answer 6

What happens after we die? So far, I've never seen an afterlife with my own eyes, and have never died. I believe it will be nonexistence, but I'm not sure. Religions all offer answers, but they sound like guesses to me. Too bad the dead have remained silent on the issue.

Answer 7

I don't understand the connection between being a Christian and being a Republican. They have nothing to do with each other. Jesus was not involved in politics, and neither was anyone in the early church, or any of the major revivals throughout history. Jesus said to "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar but give to God what belongs to God". But for some reason today, we feel that in order to be a Christian we must support the war in Iraq, pass judgement on gay people, and steel from the poor to give to the rich. I don't understand.

Answer 8

my faith is in mankind, because one day people will know religion for what it is. to keep the masses under control, but it is out of control. how can anyone, who believes in god, treat the whole thing like a football match., hoping their team will win final glory in heaven. daft if you ask me. MY question is! I being a christian, by birth , not practice,and we won the cup and went to heaven, would i shut all other faiths out for being in the opposite side, or would i welcome them to join us in the great big celebration. yes i would.. and i hope they would to. WELL?, would you?

Answer 9

How do you really know that what you profess to believe is really right?

Because if people are just believing the words of other men, no matter how cleverly disguised, then it's still just the blind leading the blind!

Answer 10

Death. I find it hard to rationalize or accept death in any context, or that death is part of any Divine Plan. And I think that that's the original purpose of religion- any religion tries to make itself the antidote to the fear of death, but in my case, religion only amplifies the fear of death.
