The arguing in religion section is driving me batty.
I go occassionally out of curiosity but get batty when I see so many rude and mean comments.
I just want it to STOP!
What should I do.
Thank you.
Arguing about religion is going to go on whenever people of different beliefs are all in one place designed for the purpose of "discussing". Spare yourself from seeing those rude and mean comments by staying out of the religious forums. I stay out of there and usually stay of the politics forum, and I'm happy. Ignorance is bliss.
(Books-and-Writing is a nicer forum, and Hangout is a funnier one.)
Thank you very much I apprecaite your help.
It is tempting to argue w/ these people but I can't win (no one can.)
I just want to win and shut them all up but I can't!!!! Lol
I'm serious too
The thing is, when people hold strong opinions about something (like religion) they are not going to change them, so not a lot of point in arguing, it will never be resolved!!
Strengthen your arguments perhaps?
For example when you are arguing stop calling people who don't agree with you monsters, sinners, or explain to them how sure you are that you really do have a fairy and it's not just your imagination.
Screaming STOP! I want to be right! like a three year old may not work. Nor will telling people you don't go there much.
I think that's called lying.
Okay keep digging a hole for yourself, little sweet and innocent.
Does your mother know you're using her computer? You might let her know you've filled your nappy and its time for your nap.
If you are going to act like a toddler then you will be treated as one.
Easy. Don't go into the religion section.
(That's the only way to keep your head from exploding - or at least feeling as if it's about to. )
Stop projecting your putrid superstition onto others as the audience does not all grant the Xian base premise.
It is that simple.
The only way to 'win' is not to play.
Easy. Stay away from religious forum. Period.
Perhaps if you started a thread telling people who do not believe The Nonsense to leave the country and go live in China where religion is illegal? Do you think that would stop the arguing?
By the way - there is special section for irrational beliefs such as yours - it is called "Religion and Philosophy."
I an sorry but I cannot understand why you would visit the forum if it upsets you so much.
Maybe it will help if you ask yourself what you are trying to achieve there and why you are drawn back to it if you despise it.
I would doubt that one non-believer has been converted by reading the religious forum or 'debating in it' or one believer has altered their views to become an atheist. I may be wrong. Maybe I have no 'right' to express a view about it as I never visit the religious forum but these posts are 'leaking out' of the said forum now.
Oh, this has always been a hubpages issue. Everyone seems to enjoy a bit of the hormone rush! hehehe. I always tend to avoid them - if you cant stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! lol
very funny!
How about we meet somewhere ?
what about hehe, am here in Dallas, am going to cook you a stir fry that kneels
OMG
Insta-Pee
My only suggestion to the OP is it's not going to change, let's instead try screaming that attitude at this;

Thanks

ps-honestly, why go in them? Just stay away, cause those nor political threads will never stop the commments etc.
Thanks for the help. I feel sooooooo much better!
As long as it is understood that I’m a male witch…
sure, no problem have fun w/ your balls- I mean ball- Crystal ball
Just stay out of the forums... they will always be like that, like a bunch of adolescents arguing about their football teams..
schoolgirlforreal you could have worded your post, "For Christ's sake stop the arguing!" pun intended
sounds divine, (and not spiritual divinity - but I could have a spirit, like whiskey!) LOL
Did I ever tell you the story....
When I first joined Hubpages, and dared to venture into the religious forums, I, too, was horrified by the rude, mean, nasty comments and attitudes of self-righteousness. So, what did I do? I jumped right in and told people off for their behavior! Then, I was politely told, by the 'arguing' Avatars, that they knew each other very well, knew what they meant when they said this or that, and have been bantering back and forth that way for quite some time.
Now I keep to myself, as much as possible, and try really hard not to enter into any religious discussions.

I enjoy the forums like sandpit , info on writing hubs, refer other hubs, travel, games etc , there are so many good ones to look at and learn from that are friendly !
Yep, stay out of the religion forum! There are so many better things to do in life
Do you really think you can manipulate people by stomping your feet and pouting? What do you hope to gain by making ridiculous demands on the rest of us?
I've already told you what you needed to do the last time you threw a fit. It's extremely simple, you just don't come in to open religious debate forums if you cannot handle reality, and don't wish to jeopardize losing your faith. As I told you before, there are hundreds of religious forums on the web which are exclusively for christians only. They will not allow open debate and the voicing of opinions they do not agree with. I know, cause I've been kicked out of a number of them over the years.
Personally I'm willing to compromise. If christians in america would stop trying to foist their lame beliefs off onto the rest of us, stop trying to rob us of our rights, stop trying to thwart progress, stop attacking science, stop putting messages on their church signs telling my kids they're going to hell, stop discriminating against other religions, stop trying to make world issues religious wars, stop voting for dumb-butts and frauds to run our country, stop discounting the lives of everyone else, and stop calling nonbelievers selfish, hard-hearted rejectors of goodness, then I'd stop pointing out how ridiculous they are.
Willing to live and let live, if only that respect was a two-way street.
We're not childish for debating religious issues passionately. You, however, are behaving in a rather childish manner by throwing a fit about it, and being incapable of controlling and taking responsibility for your own actions.
"All men [and women] shall be free to profess -and by argument maintain- their opinions in matters of faith." Thomas Jefferson
But you know what? If all you whiny, attention-seeking religious types keep complaining about it often enough and loud enough, maybe HubPages will give in and shut the religious forums down.
Your choice. Continue attempting to stop others from making their own choices, or grow up and deal with the fact that your religion can no longer oppress the world at large.
My apologies to the decent and gracious christians who have not thrown out respect for freedom of religion. I am sorry -believe me- that the behavior of your brethren in this country causes so much strife.
Don't think of me as a Christian when it comes to this.
Religion has nothing to do with
the way people act and behave in these forums.
Everyone is a debator
What you post, and have been challenged on-and go apeshit about is Christianity.
What you've been taken to task for, repeatedly, are your unsupported assertions and you've been counseled on your behaviour and actions.
It enrages you, and you've acknowledged you're unable to respond to the valid challenges, then blame others for the failure you've brought upon yourself. You blame others instead of following the Jesus' directive;
"1 Thessalonians 5:18 (New King James Version)
18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
Of course, your Christian and oh so adult [latter is sarcasm] response has been to tell Ernest, for one, to eat poop.
That 'certainly' {sarcasm] encourages anyone to take you seriously.
You're great comic relief.
I would like to condemn anyone who tries to make other people do what they want them to do. I would sincerely like to say that people who tell other people what to do are not right in the head.
but, I cannot do that because I am always telling people what to do! I LOVE to tell people what to do! I LOVE to tell them how to act! When I first joined HubPages I came right in here and started my own tribe! because I needed so badly to tell people how to act - and they let me! So, I'm thinking, its just a matter of HOW you tell people how to act! You do it with LOVE! and then they will become acceptable in your eyes and all is just wonderful - Peace, love, happiness.
OK, you may be excused to go vomit now.
When people are mean to me, personally, I love it that we can REPORT them here on HubPages. Of course, everyone will know that I whined and ratted on someone then, but I will do it. I'm not kidding. If you are mean to me I will REPORT you! But I will be very careful that my reporting is justifiable, cuz it could backfire - I've seen that happen.
Anyway - peace, babies~! I LOVE YOU! YES! I really do!
I know this is probably not the right place to ask this. And don't get me wrong, I totally believe in Jesus and I especially love - just LOVE - the way he dressed. With that robe and those sandals and the HAIR! Man, he was sexy! No, really. He WAS! and I have been wondering this a long, long, time - did he, I mean, how can anybody really know, but do you THINK he wore underwear? under that robe? I mean like boxers, probably, because they probably didn't HAVE briefs in those days. What do you think?
He definitely went Commando. You could tell by the sway in the front.
oh yes - the third kind of underwear! so plausible! and yet . . . thinking like Jesus, peace, love, harmony, accepting your neighbor and treating people like you would treat yourself - I think he probably didn't wear underwear.
Now, this brings me to the next link in this chain of thought - what kind of underwear was the very first to be worn? should we consider those swaddling things - like tying a scarf around your middle and pulling it up between your legs - is that underwear?
is there an underwear museum somewhere so we can see the first known undies on display?
should I care so much?
mega, it does seem to hold some fascination for you.
Just try to remember, any undies are gonna be 2,000 years old.
...i think he was a free bird...why not?....'free as a bird' that's my story and I'm sticking with it!
The first underwear for women were designed by Romans and very delicate. They were a simple gold chain that rode low on the hip and had an slightly over sized pendant that dangled in the front but did not get in the way of using the necessities such as bathrooms and men.
....hey that sounds pretty nice...jewellery!...very feminine indeed!
Only the best.
Downside was when things got tangled. Ouch.
ha ha ha! never thought of that...i'm sure it was still beautiful!
it is simple..stop visiting the forums...forums are made for discussion and people have variety of vocabularies. people have right to express their views..some may be liberal , some may be extreme and it includes religious,non religious both..i have found some extreme religious minded people who themselves turn god and decide that people who dont agree to their views would go to hell or wont get salvation and such stuffs..in same way non religious people too ridicule religious people in strongest language..in the end humans are humans ..
dont think so..in the end and beneath layers of tags like religious,,non religious we all are basically humans...
we want to be right, we want to defend what ever we believe , we want to prove others wrong...
Personally I don't hang out in the religion or politics forums, in fact, I wrote a hub about those two in particular. I figure there's enough stress and confrontation in life outside of hubpages, so why add to it by going in those forums?
Good question, or statement,...... but you are right !It seems senseless to argue or even want to debate in any forums , I came here to the hubs simply to write and be included in the 'lives' of others who do. For whatever reasons we all like being included in something. I guess the price of inclusion is the often edgy style of hubbers involvement. I said , in the beginning I would not lower myself into the politics of hubbing.
And I have a couple of imes , it's quite senseless.......

A good definition of insanity is to continue doing the same act over and over, while expecting a different result each time. The believers will not ( can not ) change the minds of the non-believers. And visa versa. So why is there so much time spent on the subject of God and...

This is a suggestion. Do whatever the heck you want to do:For those who don't know, which seems to be many, when you respond to someone who drops a spam link in the forum, you quote the spam link. That means, even if the admin gets rid of the original spam post, the spam link remains because you...
