This requires a little reading but i think that it illustrates a very interesting point about how christians answer questions.

I find that very often, if you leave the slightest loophole in your question, christians will cling to it like white on rice.
and then when you rectify that loophole in a restated question, other christians give intriguingly different answers.

Now take this question i asked:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=At94kcNjcZWHKHhcKVWDqCDsy6IX?qid=20070726223906AAkeJ4O

the christian answerers basically accepted that my sociological premises were fairly true, but they felt that it "all made sense in the end" because "some people can't get over themselves" and thusly "failed the test".

But when i re-asked the question (link below) and pointed out that it was not theologically sound to say that "sociologically better" were failing some sort of "spiritual test," they then attacked my sociological premise and tryed to say that it was not true. some tried to give examples of people in their church community that fit the bill.

Yes I do. It's like taking an employment aptitude test where they ask you the same question 5 times in different ways and if you're not careful you wind up answering with contradictory answers. I think christians believe deeply out of indoctrination regardless of looks or economic status. Just as atheists can come from all walks of life, christians can too. It is unfortunate that they can't answer the same question twice with consistent answers on their own. I am glad I'm an atheist with my own mind. It feels good to be free.

possibly i'm in basic terms extra travelled around the planet than you're, yet I come upon 2 issues including your test. first you're interpreting externally, what you will discover, hear and attempting to appreciate it in context to the hide of a e book. 2nd project, once you adjust the text fabric of a query, you apart from mght adjust the solutions that somebody could supply. words propose something and you will possibly desire to save that throughout the time of suggestions. interpreting the 1st of your test, you don't be conscious of what struggles a guy or woman is going by using in the back of those eyes you're watching. fascinating human beings or much less stellar all have insecurities and people who're in Christ seek for him. that suggested, it does no longer propose you will discover what is going on externally. understand the artwork of the Holy Spirit in the existence of that guy or woman and those around them you're assuming that each and every little thing exterior is because evidently and it is not any longer. the 2nd concern, you talk removing the loop hollow in the question and don't see that the solutions are simililar yet are written to mirror the way you have re-published the question. Christians who walk in the Spirit and not after the flesh might have solidarity in the solutions they supply. you won't understand this, yet you're coming head to head with the residing God. He lives in his human beings and that they are conversing with you, do no longer discover fault when you consider which you do no longer in basic terms like the respond or understand the intensity of the artwork of the LORD. i wish you have a good day, and that i enjoyed your submit, will seem forward to seeing extra

Im a Christian, and honestly I dont have the stamina to read entirely through both questions, I have two toddlers! Anyhow, I digress. Perhaps good looking people, in general are offered much more in our world in terms of friends, jobs, attention in general. And at this age (youth group age) is a time where those very things in alot of ways trump the God card.

Look at the nerds in school (they were generally smart because being unpopular allowed them time to study and knit.) Not sure if this is what youre looking for, but thats my take.

Oh ho it took me a few minutes to understand what you were getting at. You make a very interesting point there after I actually understood what you where saying and read the other questions and answers through a few times.

And you lied to me that was far more then a "little reading".

The problem with this situation is the fact that you are looking at it logically, when religion is anything but logical. If religion were logical it would be called science, or history. Nothing about religion can be proven, it is all speculation, thus everyones opinion matters. The bad side of this is that for the Christians your opinion does not correspond with theirs, so they feel they must either validate their opinion, or prove yours wrong.

Hi Hello462,

I just want to point out that there is a difference between a real question and a fake one.

If you are asking a question in order to bait Christians into giving you a foolish answer that you can mock, that is a fake question.

If, at some point, you have a real question... then that is a different matter.

The point is, who is Yeshua? (Jesus)?

Did He rise from the dead?

If He didn't, we believers in Him are deceived and wasting our time, as Paul says in 1st Corinthians.

But if He did....

It makes me glad that as an atheist I answer every question every time in exactly the same way.
