Why has yahoo answers come into existence and listed this topic?

Question

Of religion & spirituality

For our questioning? Or for your answering?

If you are considering an answer for what purpose do you give it?

When you create a question, why do you ask it?

I am after the very root of it… the place of its origin that exists with you. Or does it exist without you?

Answer 1

I care not for what the outer appearance may be, it is here solely for the other parts of me to remind me of that which I already know, but need awakening to fact that I do know. The awakening can come in either form, my answering a question & there by bringing into to clairity what was conscious but unspoken, or by asking & there by recieving an answer to bring forth what was unconscious. Wow, even I am having difficulty tracking with that answer, did you? Blessings.

Answer 2

My own purpose is to follow the questions to the multitude of answers (and answerers), which leads once more to further questions and then to more answers, in an unending progression that pushes me to "opening" and "expanding." Others' process inspires my own, and I trust that mine touches some. I give answers out of a heart-moment that struggles to be born, to manifest. I have "resonated" to a question and follow the urge within that pushes to be expressed. I ask questions for much the same reason--an urgency happens within me. In both instances, I am compelled. I do not question the existence of these urges, but honor them, allowing them to come forth. Inasmuch as the urge is so strong, I surmise, even though I refer to "within" as the root, that I am flooded from beyond the senses, filled from "without" by an in-breathing of something I cannot name, other than "inspiration," which falls short. I am Sirius

Answer 3

James,
Yahoo answers came into existence as a
sort of Q&A forum with various topics.
The reason they decided to put in Religion
is because of it's wide range of beliefs.
Yahoo knew this would make a very diverse
subject interesting and debatable to say the
least.
For both . I answer Questions more than I
ask.
My main purpose when I answer someones
Question is try my best to be honest and
helpful with them .I ask God and read the
Bible for advise before I answer anyones
Q.
When I do ask a Question about Religion,
I'm looking for the same as above.That's
what makes R&S special. There are alot
of awesome spiritual individuals that help
me with the answer I was seeking for.
As for the last Question, the place of it's
origin that definitely exists in me is molding
a God fearing trust worthy ''Christian'', striving to Learn and Listen to my Fathers
Wisdom . That will lead me to our savior
Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit that is
within us all who seek.
Amen.

Yahoo Answers comes into existence because of questions that requires answers from the community. It is a site where people exchange ideas and views. It sharing of personal experiences and true to life stories. It is also for fun and meeting new contacts around the world. It is a learning process through virtual connections from different people.

Questioning clarifies things which you think are skeptical. Answering allows you also to expound things based on your knowledge and wisdom.

I give my answer purposely to the person asking and to those who can read it. I do all my best to my personal knowledge to contribute ideas and opinions.

I create question purposely to know and hear the different views and philosophical thoughts of my contacts and to everyone interested in philosophy section.

Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

Answer 5

Yahoo! Answers came into existance nearly two years ago because some very clever programmers figured people would appreciate it and therefore they could sell advertising on it. They were right.

I believe one of the reasons it is so successful is currently sitting at the number two spot on the Leaderboard, after having held the number one spot for most of the first year and beyond. Richard. He led the way in being actively interested in the success of the project. He recognized right away that a chance to communicate with the entire English-speaking world was something we could not let slip through our fingers.

So there came to be a group called Answers Wizards, a group of us early beta-testers who provided substantial feedback to the programmers on how we use it, what we perceive as abuse, and all our suggestions as to how it could be improved. I was involved for awhile, but eventually found that Wizards was taking up so much of my time I was not getting time to ask and answer.

Why religion and spirituality? Because when Answers started, an attempt was made to put questions into categories, and refined over and over as certain categories got so large that they needed to be divided up into smaller units. So, for example, we have the two quite related categories of Religion & Spirituality and Myth & Folklore. Clearly, there is a good bit of overlap, but they are different. Religion & spirituality is what YOU believe in; myth & folklore is what OTHERS believed in, generally assumed to be in the distant past. Modern pagans tend to flit back and forth between the two categories.

When I ask a question, sometimes it is because there is something I do not know which I would like to know. And sometimes it is because I want to use the rhetorical device of a question to make a point about a particular issue. For example, I recently put up a set of questions giving hypothetical questions about ethical dilemmas. I wanted to see how many people would really analyze the facts of the case and consider the implications of each possible choice. And how many would simply apply a rigid set of rules from an authoritarian religion. As a member of the Ethical Society, I was gratified to see how many people really examined the question analytically.

When I answer a question, it is either because I have real information to provide, or because I feel my opinion may be different enough from the others already expressed to provide a different slant. Also, if several already existing answers treated it as a joke, I will often provide a serious answer to balance them.

We who stick to R&S tend to have many different reasons for doing so. The main ones are to find others who agree with you, and refine your understanding of your own beliefs; to persuade others to believe the same as you; to find out what other people believe, either because you are searching or because you recognize the importance of such understanding.

And unfortunately, there are also those who come here to mock and be rude and adolescent toward those who believe differently from themselves. It is for those we have refined the "report abuse" function over time.

Answer 6

precisely that, I find that I ask a question here to find out the view of others and confirm or indeed challenge my own view. I answer for the same reason not because I know the answer but to expand and question what I believe it is I know.........no ?

Answer 7

This site came into existence for such questions of yours. Are you not happy bothering the world with your asking like that?

Answer 8

answering questions: for sharing my thoughts. not to change your mind..simply presenting what i had in mind or believes.

create questions: to know how other people's point of view. to be able to understand what's on people's mind

i must admit i'm a lil bit self righteous, for i'm very seldom to come up with a questions.

Answer 9

It came about because there are so many of us who find the questioning and answering a part of our own path. It implies a never-ending question mark, which frees us of the rigidity of dogma.

Answer 10

It is a secret, whispered from heart to heart. It was whispered to me a long time ago but I had forgotten how precious the secret is and fell into confusion. The secret would rather die than fight or to be bound to only a few. So it hides in the heart and whispers softy to those that listen. You know this secret. I will tell your secret but only those that listen to their hearts will know it's truth. Love is all there is. : )
