Do you come to R&S to seek/give wisdom or do you come here to simply to antagonize people?

Answer 1

I come here to answer legitimate questions as well as to get a feel for the beliefs of others.

Answer 2

You struck a chord with this question!

I realize that my mere presense on a religion and spirituality site antagonizes some. But a point in being here is not to antagonize, but instead to demonstrate that gay people are Christians, too. I refuse to cede Christianity to radical, right-wing extremists.

I like to share my wisdom, if I have some to share on a particular question. I also come here to learn, because I don't know everything. I have learned much already and I enjoy learning new things. There are many knowledgeable people here.

Answer 3

I come here to learn a few things, help where I can and maybe impart a little wisdom to those that can find it and use it. I try NOT to antagonize folks, life's too short to make enemies. I've found that having ONE enemy is having TOO many but there's no such thing as having too many friends.

Answer 4

Well, seek/give wisdom, which is often interpreted as being antagonistic.

Of course, when people call Christians names and claim we are all haters, well, my wisdom doesn't carry much weight with them, because their mind is made up. Funny, though, how so many on here keep pushing their anti-Christian views and stereotypes and can't seem to understand that they only reinforce my views.

Answer 5

as a human with infinite faculties, bereft of inhibitions, strong in the tradition that all men are born equal, knowing equal care and love for all living beings and in the benevelence of the Tao, I antagonise the hell out of all, but seriously ...

often you get a lucky streak, add several contacts, involve yourself in a valid search for the actual truth, with likeminded individuals who treat your opinion with the open-minded possibility it may supercede theirs, and you reciprocate this way acknowledging your own possibility of learning something of quality. Nothing but good comes of this and I go about after logging off with a smile on my face.

often you get screaming kid after screamng kid not knowing how many years those gallingly poor opinions have had to mature, compunded with stupid moron after stupid moron indistinguishable form the children spouting bigoted detritus, then a christomuslim war flares up and for a super bigotry finale everyone takes a bite of Jew pIe- and i lose my normally centred head that I am wasting my passion and wisdom on this - creating such a negative streak that the irony sword gets wielded at all banality and the anti-religion bright axe gets embedded in the opinions of some poor unfortunate

then i remember that everything gets better and that universal truth sheathes the weapons and calm returns

Answer 6

I first came here thinking that I could ask and answer well thought out questions. I was hoping to discover new ideas and such. Let's just say that is hard to come by. I do get a few here and there, but that is about it. I want serious questions and serious answers. After all, I thougth that was the point of this section.

Answer 7

I'm addicted!! So help me...I'm addicted!!!!!

I love reading the Q's and A's. I love trying to help people where and when I can. Sometimes it is very entertaining and I laugh at some of the stuff posted on here. Other times I get very annoyed at some of the blatant statements thinly veiled as questions. I guess you could say it is like a virtual roller-coaster ride for me.

Answer 8

When I come here, it is simply to give my view point. If you don't believe it, well, then, you can burn in my own personal hell, locked in a tiny room with only anchovies, warm, stale root beer, and a tv that only has the Martha Stewart all nude show. Oh yeah, and green jello. I don't know why, but green jello seems evil.

Answer 9

I come here to give wisdom to the best of my ability.

Mark 16:15 And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.

Sadly a lot of people come here to do the antagonizing.

Answer 10

At first I came seeking alternative information to Christianity and Catholicism, but then found out it was just a brawl between Christians and Atheists.

I believe what is going on in this section is very counter-productive to furthering the knowledge of both religions.

Answer 11

I come to marvel at the differing opinions, beliefs, and levels of ability to articulate those.

One of the great things about the Internet is that it gives everyone a voice that can be heard around the world.
