WHAT REALLY IS SEGREGATION??
i have posted many questions in the past few days about religion. im a christian, but im trying to see how other religions think. I dont think someone should be shunned or treated differently becasue their not a christian
What this Question is about, is what All people && ALL religions think about segregation.
MANY people post questions with the title "non-christians only" or "Athiests only!!" On the questions i put Non Christians only, everything was fine. People only answerd the question i had asked. THEN, the very first time i posted a question with the title "christians ONLY" i got many posts asking why i was segregating.One person said
"I'm not Christian, and that was highly rude of you to post a question on a public forum and ask only a select few. However, I forgive you...that's what Jesus would do, right?"
All i want to know is do you think thats right??
ANYONE CAN ASNWER THIS..but no matter what religion you are, do YOU think thats right?

I don't see anything wrong with asking that only certain groups respond to the question that a person poses. It's done all the time in other venues, i.e., "Girls only please.." etc...

Why don't you do like some others I have seen.

Post your question with "Serious answers only."

Or better yet, tag your question with this request inside.



You might also consider something like: "I need some serious answers from fellow Christians." I will consider answers from anybody who can relate to my question. The best and worst are here for the big two points!!!



God can and does speak through a persons worst enemy. You can find this in Scripture without looking real hard. You gotta stay humble; because God can put a word for you in the mouth of any enemy, an atheist, or somebody from another religion. Think about it.



Meek, humble and free is the key. God hides in human hope and simplicity.

You can ask that a certain question be directed towards a certain group, but people will always disregard it and answer anyway.



Sometimes it gets annoying if a serious doctrinal question is directed at Christians but it gets countless answers of "it doesn't matter, there is no God." Yeah no kidding buddy, that's why the question wasn't directed at you.



Same goes for the atheists. I'm sure they don't appreciate their sincere questions being answered with "You're going to hell if you don't repent."



I answer questions directed towards other groups all the time. If I think I have something to contribute to the discussion, I'll speak up. Just try and stop me. :)

You have a right to state that you would prefer answers from Christians only, but it's a public forum and everyone can read that question. All who read it have the right to reply. If you don't want the other answers, don't read them. But if your question to Christians only is about atheist or other religions, we have a right to reply. You might think we are rude intruding, but that's life on a public board. I personally do not insult, but I will reply if I feel it's warranted.

I don't think it really matters that much to segregate it. I don't believe in segregation over anything. I don't really care enough to cast people out over their religion. It just get's to the point for some though that if they say:

"Do you think God really forgives us of our sins,"

then your avid athiest says:

"What God?",

and then the athiest asks a questions like:

"do we turn into ghosts when we die"

and then they get a 'come to Jesus' answer like:

"Well if you weren't lost and you knew Jesus then you would know you would not be a ghost."



I think to avoid conflict people say from the get go, please don't waste your time if you are going to try to convert me or challenge me. " *belief here* Only"

I think Jesus would abandon Yahoo Answers altogether and then become a Muslim, and just to be really far out in the way that only a deity can, would go around wearing a multi-colored burka with a flashing button on it that said 'kiss me quick'

If you are only interested in the opinions of Christians on a certain subject (because you are taking a poll or something), or if you only want Buddhists, Muslim, Jews, etc., I don't see how that is discrimination.



Some people seem to be too touchy and have a thin skin.



And those "some people" almost always seem to be atheists (check out my question below):

I think its wrong that ppl put "non-christians only" or christian this or muslim that, its stupid. I very accepting of all religions. Im catholic and my gf is hindu. Hell i make fun of all religions. I spare none, not even my own.

Of course it isnt right - but I highly doubt that not one single non-atheist replied to your questions that was directed at atheists only. Im virtually CERTAIN that believers also responded to that question, and, instead of claiming that it was rude for you to ask a question only to Atheists, instead just bagged on atheists.



Nice try attempting to make us look evil.

It's called Reverse Psychology. You want a child to get a bath .. tell them, " don't go near that tub of water!" That's the way i see it anyway. God Bless

Which question should I answer?



You're only going to hear from people you exclude. If you say "Christians only" you'll hear complaints from non-Christians (like myself, who complained). If you say "atheists only" you would only hear complaints from non-atheists. Since many religionists dislike atheism and want nothing to do with it it's probably safe to say they won't be upset with their exclusion.

It is obviously not right, but look at the bright side...



Mt 5:10

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven



Joh 15:20

Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

In this matter, there is no right or wrong, just people who identified themselves in one category and don't pay attention to questions that are no meant to them. Maybe they just don't want to lose their time
2007-07-25 09:39:45 UTC
I think that's totally wrong and i agree with you

I'm christian but I accept other religons and hell i don't mock them

Love your neighbor had yourself right?

God bless! =)

If you only wanted the opinions of one group, it's your right to request answers just from that group. You're bound to get responses like you got, but you just sort through them.

well maybe you should stop posting questions like that. Anyone can have good input despite their religious beliefs, and you should give them a chance.

ALL religions are highly biased against one group or another. Why do you think that mankind has fought(wars) since his recorded history? Have a great day any how! ;-)=

Personally, I hate the question that say "XXX Only". I don't mind the "Question for XYZ" type questions. That seems more reasonable.

Segregation is unequal treatment based on race, gender, religion, etc.

Remember, "god" is nothing more than a nonsense word invented by men to explain away the things we can't yet understand.
