I am personally attempting t oget over my prejudice of various religous groups. I know its an incorect though process to hate a group in general so... just trying to come to a place of acceptance.
Why are you here?

I'm at this particular question because I liked the picture. I don't get along with religious groups because I have questions about the bible, and the invisible pixie guy, and all I get are a bunch of people who have their fingers in their ears going "na na na na la la la la".
so i gave up.

If you're trying to learn to not hate other religious groups, this is the wrong place. The anonymity of the Internet allows us all to be as obnoxious, stubborn, and condescending as we want with absolute impunity, and enough people around here of all walks take full advantage of that.
I am here to challenge myself. Every so often a question pops up about my faith that I don't have a good answer to. I look for that answer, so I will be prepared if I see that question again in the future--either on Y!A or in real life.

I'm here to do the same thing as everyone else here does. I state the truth as I see it. Some people stating the truth as they see it are smart, some are morons, some are hateful, and some are full of love.
This is where it gets sticky, you see, a person of ____ faith has taboos and you mean them no harm but that you exist challenges them. They decide to love you and hate what you believe so they speak their truth in love and offend you....
You get my drift. I don't give a tinkers damn what you think of me. I like facts. I state facts. You can be gay, pray to Satan, Jesus, Fred Flintstone, or nothing at all for all I care.
I like the aforementioned believer from the ___ faith speak truth as I see it. When this believer speaks his words of hate against the taboo he believes to damn us it is, for now, my truth to kick him in his spiritual groin.
I'm certain the people I'd be concerned with wouldn't read my post except to thumb me down but I still offer an alternative perspective that many of you require so you can clearly choose your own course.

1) Entertainment
2) And because like everybody else here, I think I have good answers to certain questions related to R&S topics. Honestly though, I do think I can answer some questions much more unbiasedly than many others seem to.

If I don't have Truth to gives - I will be deceiving myself and others too; and that's a very wicked thing to do
I believes God's shares His Truth in our heart is meant to be a river to flow out from our heart to others who may be hungry and yearning for the right answers to their heart's cries.
Don't you think it's worth the while?
Never mind what they says or provokes and tempt you to resent them - just remember, God's principle, "Forgive them for they know not what they're doing" Don't resent back.

I come here for insight, to expand my horizons, to learn about others and to better understand how others think. Some days I am completely appalled at what I see here, and other days I truly do learn a few things.

I find I cannot really debate and dialogue about religion in person (esp. with preachers) because they become defensive and argumentative. Here, everyone can say what they think and I can understand other viewpoints without their judging me(at least they don't really know me, just that I am 'Fruitcake'.

To share Jesus the son of God with others..but to try and do it in a non offensive way and to show others that not all that claim to be Christians are ...and that we are not all hypocritical bigots...and that we aren't brain washed either.

To share knowledge. To get inside other people's brains and see how they tick. To invite people into the workings of my mind.

I do not have anything better to do. This keeps me out of trouble and trouble is what I have gotten into my whole life.
