Why is there more Atheist in the Religion & Spirituality section than actual Religious people?
Q. I just did a head count. And it was 10 to 1. Atheist to Religious people. What does that tell you?
Asked by Byrd - Tue May 18 11:47:42 2010 - - 25 Answers - 1 Comments

A. It tells me that these people are angry at religion for some reason. Many of the people who label themselves as atheists are not atheists at all. They are just reacting to a negative religious upbringing. Having finally seen the conflicting nonsense that religion told them as a lie, they assume that everything that religion told them must be a lie too. God included. So they sort of throw the baby (God) out with the bath water (religion) Love and blessings Don

Why do atheist spend so much time on Religion & Spirituality?
Q. Is there a need for security or assurance? I bet i'll get atleast 10 sarcastic answers. Because they don't know who they are. I'm a believer and Im simply on here to spread the Gospel of JC. But yet you claim religion is a waste of time.

Why do atheists come to the religion & spirituality forum?
Q. And its always targeting Christianity? If it has nothing to do with you then why bother?
Asked by jarod - Fri Oct 15 21:32:56 2010 - - 31 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Because, Satan is running out of time and because there is little demons inside each and every one of them that enjoy making fun of Christians. These demons just need to be rebuked out of them so that they can think straight. These demons enjoy it because they think that if they get us to fall that we will be tormented in hell with them when we die. Satan and his demons are jealous that God wants to bless us and that God loves us and God always wins. They've been outcasts from heaven for a long time so these demons like lying to Christians so that some of them will fall and have doubts about God. Satan is basically using these people because he thinks that he could hurt us but if God be for us then who can be against us. These atheists… [cont.]

Why the distinction between the Mythology / Folklore and the Religion / Spirituality categories?
Q. Aren't they one in the same? Is it because religion demands ceremony and ritual, for without the ritual, it would simply be a story? Is it because as a Religion outlives it's usefulness, all that remains are the stories...the Mythology? Or is it that those who believe in Modern religions consider all outside their realm Mythology?
Asked by gloveside40 - Sat Nov 27 16:40:29 2010 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Many religions, my own included, do have certain mythological aspects. However, the Mythology/Folklore section may be more geared toward historical myth, while R&S often centers around religions that are still being actively practiced today. Also, folklore is often a separate matter from religion, since there are many folk stories that do not have religious connotations.

How are 'Religion & Spirituality' and 'Cooking & Recipe' connected? Is there even the remotest connection?
Q. How are 'Religion & Spirituality' and 'Cooking & Recipe' connected? Is there even the remotest connection?
Asked by Katlin - Wed Dec 13 23:58:03 2006 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There is no connection as such. But the same person can evince interest on both these categories of subjects. There is Zero Cool who has scored thousands of points by answering questions from Yahoo Products, Cooking and recipes as well as those on Atheism, Bible and Religions and specially on Scientology. One Thetaawal and The Outsiders have been countering her on Scientology. It is a different matter that her answers on religion and Spirituality are of mediocre standard and mostly her personal opinions rather than intellectual analysis based on sound reasoning. As one cooks recipes, Zero Cool is good in cooking stories in spiritualism because she knows the recipe of language and vocabulary.

Q. This morning two users I blocked were able to enter my question and post on Yahoo Answers Religion and Spirituality. How is this possible?
Asked by BK - Fri Aug 14 10:25:34 2009 - - 14 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I have several people who have me blocked. I know I could answer them but I choose not to. I must have already gotten my message through to them and they did not like it. I don't need to force it. I never block anyone and I never report anyone. What is the point of coming here and then blocking people who disagree? I consider it childish and silly unless you feel stalked or threatened in some way.

Should there be a separate section for spirituality, other than religion/spirituality in yahoo answers?
Q. No offense to anyone, but looks like most questions in religion/spirituality section are dominated by questions related to major religions. Do you think there should be a separate section just for spirituality (like meditation, yoga, qi-gong, reiki and other spiritual practises)? How can we suggest to yahoo to create a separate section? Thanks for all answers in advance!

A. Do we ever realize why spirituality does not command the respect it should! Primarily it was traveling spiritual path human beings gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana). God Almighty could never be reached via path of religion... path of rituals! If we desire gaining enlightenment in present life time... we have to travel spiritual path... no matter what! As per sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism spirituality alone is the true essence of life. Why? As detailed in Bhagavad Gita we are primarily a spirit... a spiritual consciousness that has manifested human form to work out its karma... remove dross impurities within! We are on a life cycle of 8.4 million manifestations... an earthly journey of 96.4 million years! Spirituality is the… [cont.]

How come "Religion & Spirituality" is a subcategory, but "Pets" is a full category here on yahooanswers?
Q. Forces that people have devoted their entire lives to, been a subject of historical upheavals, and are crucial to meaning of our existence vs. small companion animals that exist in few 1st world households ...
Asked by Farooq - Sat Dec 12 02:27:00 2009 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The category vs. subcategory is not meant to suggest how important a given topic may be. Pets is a main category because it needs to be further divided by which sorts of pets. After all, the questions about cats mean essentially nothing to dog-lovers, and vice versa. There is no appropriate subdivision of religion and spirituality because people want to share information and opinions about topics which are not limited to a specific religion at least as much as the various belief systems want to confine their contacts. Otherwise you'd mostly have "preaching to the choir," as they say.

Why are there more atheists in the Religion & Spirituality section than people of faith?

Do you think religion/spirituality has the ability to help pessimists become optimists?
Q. And if so, which religions or spiritualities do you think would do the trick?
Asked by Citizen of the Cosmos - Mon Mar 23 13:21:33 2009 - - 14 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Religion/Spirituality can not change who you are or your personality. It can enhance how you view the world and give you more options. Each soul has their own level and needs to seek the spiritual guidance that makes the most sense to them and just makes their souls yell YES this is the way...none are right or wrong just different. If you are such a downer that it affects your life and suicide seems a great choice then you need medical help and it might be more than just pessimistic ideals. Hormones can effect a person as much as religion. May you be blessed.

Religion & Spirituality: Is it wrong to honor the great Mother Teresa using the Empire State Building?
Q. Mother Teresa was more than just a religious figure. She devoted her entire life as one of the greatest humanitarians who has ever lived. The world respects and loves Mother Teresa except a few heartless souls who denies to commemorate her on the Empire State Building on her 100th birthday. What is your opinion on this matter?

A. It is wrong to honor any man or woman in that way. I'm sure she wouldn't be too thrilled about it. It's idolatry.

Do you think religion/spirituality does a human more good or bad?
Q. I'm talking about becoming spiritual in general, not "well, if there wasn't God, we wouldn't be here, so it does complete good!", that's not the question. Just if anyone becomes religious in general, do think it will help them more in life or bring them down? Your thoughts? There is no right or wrong answer, and I'll only give thumbs down to non-respectful answers, but besides them I won't put thumbs up or thumbs down.

A. I will answer from personal experience and say that faith in Jesus has definitely done me more good than bad and I'm convinced that everyone I know will agree with me on this one... Prior to putting my trust in Jesus I was a drug dealing, womanising, foul mouthed alcoholic who thought that fun involved going out clubbing, smoking some dope, getting very drunk and taking a different woman home each night. I lived for myself and rarely gave a thought for others at all... Since becoming a Christian all this has changed... Now my life is characterised by the good things that I do rather than the bad.

Asked by Fex - Mon May 31 22:23:16 2010 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Naturally, I'd be inclined to choose my own, which is Judaism, but of a particular kind: the Jewish Renewal movement which is both socially progressive (egalitarian, pro-human rights, supportive of LGBT people) and theologically traditional, drawing on Hasidism and Kabbalah, unabashedly mystical and emphasizing close study of the Torah and other texts, to address the whole human being. But obviously, I have a bias. From what I know of many forms of Buddhism, especially as it has adapted to the West, it is very positive. Many Christian denominations are, particularly the Quakers, the Community of Friends. Sufism is a very positive form of Islam.
