It's something that I generally laugh off, and i've only ever used the reporting system on a couple of occassions where the offense has been extreme and very personal. One was a very nasty attack on my 4 year old daughter (from a "christian").
I can't imagination atheists actually be small minded enough to report the christians every time they tell us we'll burn in hell, even though it's a blatant violation of guidelines.
Would there be many christians left here if we all reported them everytime they went against guidelines?

searcher..........my 4 year old wasn't on answers. I had made a reference to my love for her in an answer, then someone described what could happen to her. It was horrendous.

I don't care what/who you are, no one has the right to 'attack' anyone here or anywhere else. I am a Christian. I would NEVER tell someone they're going to burn in hell. I would/have let them know they can choose to accept or reject God, depending on where they want to spend eternity (heaven or hell), but no one has the right to say anyone else will end up in hell.
I do not understand how anyone can be an atheist, but I respect them just like I do anyone else. THAT'S what a Christian should be doing. If you see all Christians as people who tell you you're going to hell, telling you how bad you are, how good we are, etc....then those Christians are just giving the REST of us Christians a bad name and that's not fair.
I do not agree with your way of thinking, but I'd respect you enough to listen as to why you think what you do, etc and I'd hope you'd do the same for me. Jesus didn't treat different kinds of people like 'trash.' Those are the people he hung out with!! So why do ANY of the Christians here have the right to judge you??? We are not to be judging anybody!!!!!
PS. I really think I'd still be here if you started reporting Christians! :-)

I think we all notice people who are the most offensive to us. I tend to see questions like this that are targeted against Christians, while others tend to see the questions that are targeted against atheists.
By the way, I think it depends upon the context. If a person asks a direct question on this, then you have to expect that you will get an answer you don't like. But if it's a case where someone says in anger or in relation to another type of question, that people will burn in hell, then I have to agree with you.
My question to you is, why was your 4 year old allowed on Yahoo Answers and was she able to read the question and answers?
I can't imagine any Christian saying anything like that to a 4 year old.

As an Atheist you need to demonstrate a quality that very few Christians possess - tolerance.
I'm a Christian, but I don't believe you will burn in Hell. May the universe protect and keep you, my skeptical friend.

I don't report people becuase I'm nice and i hate getting violation notices. However if christians are being abusive hit the report abuse button. Have your friends do so also. They really need to stop with these relgious attacks and burning in hell thing

Probably not. Would there be many atheists left here if Christians all reported them every time they went against guidelines, which happens with equal frequency?

Yes, we should. We should also turn them in to Homeland Security for making terrroristic threats: using the threat of violence (eternal torment in Hell) to further a religious goal (total conversion of the masses.)
Hey searcher - it happened in public at a Walmart store. You new around these parts?

i do no longer discover it rude in any respect. i think of of it as a mandatory protection against an unacceptable bridging of church and state. A nativity scene on demonstrate in a public government construction?!??! i think of of the FFRF's sign as a state subsidized disclaimer, efficiently pointing out, "we are permitting this nativity scene to be displayed yet on no account do we approve of the thought that any religious theory is nearly valid than the different, or that religious recommendations are of fee to any yet people who carry them."

Whether you burn in hell or not, you won't find out until you die, so it isn't much use worrying about it. If you watch South Park, you find only the Mormons went to heaven anyway. LOLOL!!

If a person tells you, "Go to Hell," they are absolutely in violation. If a person tells that you will go to Hell if you don't aggree with them, that's sad, but not a violation. If a person tells you to go, and sin no more...that's Christian.

Should I report atheists every time they say that Christians are ignorant people who are not intelligent.
