Is it true that if you pretend to be an atheist in Yahoo Answers, you'll get Best Answer all the time?

Question

I think the Atheist Army should answer this one

Answer 1

1. "...if you PRETEND to be an atheist... " How would anybody really know if someone is pretending to be an atheist?



2. Why would a theist want to PRETEND to be an atheist? (If you PRETEND to be an atheist, that means you are not an atheist, but an agnostic or theist.)



3. "...if you pretend to be an atheist in Yahoo Answers, you'll get Best Answer all the time?" So what if there are TWO theists pretending to be atheists, would both of them get Best Answer? I think not. Only one person can get Best Answer.



4. What if there are more "out of the closet" theists and "pretend atheists" (theists) voting than genuine atheists? Wouldn't the theists vote for a theist and not vote for a "pretend atheist" (if they did NOT know that the "pretend atheist" was actually a theist)?



LOVED your question. It was so silly and fun to answer.

Answer 2

I only have 4% best answers. and half of those questions had nothing to do with the Christian vs. atheist battle going on here.



although I should point out im not quite as atheistic as some people, as I do believe in a sort of spirituality. but I do have a habit of dissing Christianity. cuz lets face it, its just awful.

Answer 3

Don't have to pretend, smug little person, I am a logical atheist - only 15% of best answers.



Mo

Atheist

Answer 4

I don't know.

I am atheist, so it is not possible for me to pretend to be atheist.



Answering as an honest atheist,

about 18,000 times,

has gotten me only 18% best answer.

Answer 5

Nope. Theists seem to have a much higher percent of best answers compared to any atheists on here. Then again, that's probably because a lot of them answer their own question just to get BA.

Answer 6

best chance of getting best answer is voting for your own answer when it's open for voting.

that's the way the people who have hundreds of thousands of points get that many.

being on yahoo answers isn't a spiritual trip for anyone.

Answer 7

No. I have like, 8% best answer and I actually am an atheist.

Answer 8

I could sure show the VOTING where there are just great theist answers,

and ...nope, it's the atheist slur that wins.

Answer 9

From personal experience...no. I've rejected evolution as true and got thumbs down from it despite being atheist. Kind of like I'm sure I'll get now.

Answer 10

Wrong! I can't remember EVER getting a best answer from R&S.

Answer 11

No. You get best answer for giving the best answer, whether it be something humorous or thoughtful.

Answer 12

I have about 6% best answer...so no.

Answer 13

No, not really. That is a very stupid rumor & a very stupid idea who ever made that up.

Answer 14

Only a complete FOOL would believe that..



do you believe that?

Answer 15

Only from your own sock puppets.

Answer 16

Nope.

Troll smarter, not harder.

Answer 17

No.
