This category is full of insults against us and against our Lord. Most people here aren't looking for answers and there is so much blasphemey against our loving God.

But every full moon there is someone here who needs real answers and someone we can really help.
For me its worth taking the insults when after them someone asks a serious question and when someone I can help comes on.
Its like you have to have it rain on you if you want to see a rainbow

I am astounded that you find it so hard to cope with different viewpoints! What are you wanting from this category? Really, if you can't deal with people from other religions and none, or from people of a different variety of your own religion, you need to create a small community for yourself where you won't be challenged, and stop going on the internet which is bound to bring you into contact with people of all sorts.
And if you don't want insults, a little humility wouldn't go amiss. Christians who simply assert they are right and everyone else is wrong really do invite a put-down answer. "I believe", "I think", "my religion teaches" are all phrases that could come in handy, rather than statements suggesting that there is no other possible version of things. Remember the story about the blind people and the elephant? One had hold of the tail and said it was quite definitely a bell-rope; another was touching the leg and was convinced it was a tree trunk; yet another had the tip of the trunk and thought it was a snake. That's what it's like - so perhaps if you listened to others and explained your view to them as an offering, we could all (you included) learn something about the unknowable.

Those who have no God and do not believe the bible should abandon this category because it is useless to them in answering them on the right way. There are attitude and character shows no good things.

No, we shouldn't. Did Jesus run away from everyone who insulted him, or who lived a lifestyle that went against the old Israeli law? Absolutely not!
I love R&S, including my atheist friends here. Sure insults fly but you have to look beyond that. Respecting other people's beliefs is the best way to get them to respect your own.

If only one looks for a real answer then we must remain for him.
Believe that your words are effective and no matter the insults
see Matthew 5:11
"Blessed are you when people insult you presecute you and falsely say all kinds of of evil against you because of me"

u r right but i don't think that god would want us to do that because maby god sent the person who made this program to let us help people with there problems, and we as christians should help people not just in this catagory but in all the catagorys to become more like god himself even though we know we will never be perfect but we can get as close as we can get. So.... No to abandoning the catagory

For my own part, I may not be here looking for answers, but I am interested in what most have to say.
I'm an Atheist, and I try my best to not judge anyone for their beliefs. It's difficult not to react when others attack my belief system, but I generally try to discuss rather than lash out at anyone.
It would certainly be nice if we could all just agree to disagree, but I don't see that happening in my lifetime.
I think it would be a loss if anyone were to abandon this subject. It takes a bit of searching to find questions worth answering and discussions worth reading, but sometimes it's worth it.

As a Christian Preacher I feel this category is exactly where we, as Christians, belong.
It is a reflection of the world.
As Christians we sometimes spend to much of our time with those that think as we do, never sharing the Word of God with those that don't.

No. Christians have to endure all things to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Besides, it is fun watching anti-Christians prove how ignorant they are about science and religion.
