Did any other christians notice this?

Did you notice that when you give the right answers that God wants you to give, and people mark them as unhelpful because they're afraid to hear the truth?

well they mark it zero because not everyone is a christian on here
no offense or anything but others don't like it when you leave religious comments
how would you like it if like, a jewish or muslim person left comments about their religion all over your questions
its kind of offensive
darling, theres millions of truths out there
to each his own
hope I helped, I didn't mean to sound rude, just saying what its like from the other side

I get quite a bit of those zero of one thought this was helpful on answers I gave to certain questions.
I don't know why they don't like to hear the truth even though some might think that your right and they're wrong which isn't right, but, well, what are you going to do?
I think that allot of Christians notice that everyday. I know I do.

the only time I ever mark those kind of answers as unhelpful is when they are telling me I will go to hell, instead of actually talking to me about what I asked

They're lost, that's to be expected.

I agree with foxy

Great answer foxxy...
Not EVERYONE on this site is christian...
And NOT everyone understands that...

Because we are LOST and will burn in hell for eternity so OUR opinion doesn't matter.

if I began giving wiccan driven advice I figure the same thing would start happening, when religion is given as advice it is a form of pushing beliefs at someone, I view such answers as someone thinking they are better than me- and hope to change me to the proper way of thinking ( their way of thinking)- they are right and I am wrong.

if you start answering questions from your life experience, and less from the book some answers might be more appealing to people.

read what foxy wrote above and take it to heart, you are a friend of mine as well, and I don't push my beliefs on you- others deserve the same respect, when the sermon starts- that is when I start to walk, don't want to hear it- it is not the truth to me, based on my life experience- and careful study. not from being lost, or delusional, or ignorant, or intolerant.

***Did you notice that when you give the right answers that God wants you to give, and people mark them as unhelpful because they're afraid to hear the truth?***

Possibly because you (like many other christians) are too young, naive, inexperienced, under-educated, or over-zealous (or any combination of the preceding); to be giving advice about god and/or your religion, to any individual(s) with a different opinion.

Further more, you don't really know what the 'right answers' are, nor what god wants; you only have your opinions. To say otherwise, would make you seem pompous and arrogant... and thus unhelpful.

I dont think you accept other people for there beleifs at all...
some people who are christian could find it unhelpful
and people who arnt christian can find it unhelpful or not the kind of thing they want to hear about
not everyone wants to hear or know about your god
and by saying they rated your answers low because they are afraid to hear the truth
is very silly...the ratings to your answers arnt something you should beworrying about

Nerd, who is not a Christian, has this surperb comment on her profile:

*Did you find this answer helpful? is not code for Do you agree with this answer?.*

That's what we all need to remember.

Most of my anti-god comments get marked unhelpful as well, dear martyrs.

Yeah, but apparenty that doesn't martyr... uh, I mean 'matter'

It is very hard being on a secular site, trying to share the things of God. And my heart goes out to the sincere believers that have to try and sort thru all the answers, hoping they will find the right one. I can see how one could easily be confused. However, I am sure that some good does come out of this.

I wondered why I got some zeroes on good answers. LOL

I rate answers based on how helpful, informative and on topic they are. Lots of answers that I totally disagree with have gotten good ratings from me.

I'll vouch for that - eleni is big enough to rate my answers well at times, even when we disagree. Thanks.

***I rate answers based on how helpful, informative and on topic they are. Lots of answers that I totally disagree with have gotten good ratings from me.***

Yeah, but its sad how many people rate only out of spite...

I can't help but notice that captainassassin and I, both nonchristians, also both have at least one 'no' mark for our first replies.

Hey up there, call me what you want! Doesn't hurt my feelings. I get called names all the time.

...who is name-calling?

they are marked unhelpful because you bring religion into places were it isnt needed. furthermore you act as a religious enforcer making comments without any explaination as to why.

because there isnt only one 'truth' to the world

not to mention you (specifically YOU 'teachel'...no offense) bring religion into evey question for no reason

like if someone asks a question about drugs you call them a lost soul or something

cant say it bette than 'boomtwack'
