I thought the site was extremely interresting and even book marked it for later reading.  When I am home alone i may even listen to some of the audio.  Of course, some of it i found far fetched and hard to comprehend; however, some of it made since and requires further research.  Thank you very much for posting it.  I appreciate any chance at learning about other peoples beliefs and religions.  I think part of the problems btw modern Christians and other religions is that most Christians will not take the time to listen and study other belief systems.

No, and this is one of my pet peeves. I changed my religion because my initial one felt "wrong" to me. I went searching for what felt right and I found it through my own quest. I didn't need anyone badgering me, which is how every person I met trying to convert another has come off. I hate when people try to lay their own beliefs on others.

Yes it has helped me and I hope my answers has helped others. There are alot of great questions on here that really get you thinking but then there are questions that you just tell the person to go read the bible.

...and NO the question asker is not the same person as me.  She just happens to have good taste in nicknames.\n\nConsidering that the Christ was supposed to have died for EVERYONE's sin no matter who they are (something the fundies seem to forget) I see the asker's point.

I was hitchhiking through Montana one time. I was sitting on the on-ramp leading down to the freeway. I see this guy walking up the ramp from the freeway. He was dressed like a regular guy - jeans, t-shirt, tennies.\nHe walked up to me, said "Hi, how ya doin?" He noticed I was reading a book. He said, "Here's something else for you to read", and handed me a little pamphlet. He walked off as I looked at the pamphlet.\nI scanned the pamphlet for about 15-20 seconds - it dealt with Christianity. \nI turned to see if he had kept walking, but he was not there.\nIn the time space he handed me that pamphlet, and the time I turned my head, he could not have gone anywhere. It was a long on-ramp and nowhere else to go.\nEven writing about it now after 21 years give me goose bumps.

That would divide your points between 2 nicknames, right?\n\nAnyway, no, it never occurred to me.\n\nWhat's the religious or spiritual aspect of the question?

I was raised in a Christian home but as I grew into adulthood I began to have doubts.  I think some events in vietnam made me question a lot.  Then going to school afterward I began to explore other philosopies eventually labeling myself an agnostic.  However I always remained curious and would on occasion read the Bible as well as other philosophy books.  One night about twenty years ago I was reading the Bible and had just started a new chapter and as I read it was like I could hear the words audibly...and in an instant..I believed.  I knew it was true like never before.  I didn't hope it was true.  I didn't wish it was true.  It wasn't a matter of faith for me then.  I knew it was true as certainly as I am sure that I exist.  I never had an experience like that before or since.  well..i guess that's religous but it's the most spiritual thing that's ever happened to me...kinda made me feel strange.

that you like to ask thought-provoking questions to get a rise out of the religious right.  Kudos.

Sometimes after reading a question, I try and re-read it while imagining the person sitting next to me speaking it. Here is a little girl saying, "when the rapture comes..." So I get the sense of fear in her eyes. Then she is rationalizing her beliefs by saying she will be saved because she is a Christian, but then she keeps going and has this sort of mischevious, personal laugh for the non-believers, who she thinks will be left behind. Honey, I still smell fear. Why, if your beliefs are so intact, are you still afraid? Pray for yourself and your family and you'll do just fine.

People get enthusiastic about talking about their faith, or talking about an issue that seems to involve their set of beliefs. It just so happens God is a hot topic, espeically on these boards. Part of the problem may be (and i have to admit i dont know what your questions were) no feels they know enough to answer your questions. Much like most people on here id imagine, i try and answer questions that i think i can have some benefit to the asker. If your questions were either too specific or about an area no one felt comfortable answering (other than the wiki paste) then that might be why.

Not all the categories are like that. I have asked many questions about science, law, history, etc and gotten lots of good information.\nBut, as the others pointed out, this is the religious forum. And for every religious zealot, there is another atheistic zealot ready to pounce on them. It goes back and forth.\nI come here for the few honest questions that get posed. And sometimes I'm able to give helpful answers or advice. But I have to admit, I do get sucked into answering the stupid questions along the way.\nIs there some kind of "Yahoo Answerer Anonymous"?

T'was during the service of the Evil Stepmother (for real) when the priest asked everyone to pray so that her soul may ascend to heaven. At that moment lightning struck twice. I almost burst out laughing out loud! Now I believe there is a God!\n\n2nd time, it was a fieldmouse desperate to get out of the hole, jumping up n down on the casket.

I've never thought of it that way. I'm in between religious beliefs at the moment, but yours has given me an entirely new perspective on Christianity. Thanks for putting it out there!
