The Christian chatter is okay as long as it stays "as chatter", so, no, I don't need it to disappear. I, like everyone else, can ignore the question and move on. I do not like it when members start slamming others, being extremely rude, and calling each other names (no matter what their personal belief).
I am more disturbed by the questions of a sexual nature...the ones that are NOT serious questions, the writers KNOW that they are not serious and intended only to titillate and nothing more. After a while, you get to know who will respond to those questions and who will not! The responders, of course, love to go as close to the edge of "gross" as possible....but I digress!

I enjoy learning about religion... it is one of my subjects of interest.
I don't care for the bickering... for me that is not what faith is about.

I don't get involved in the religous chatter, i have my own beliefs and they are personal to me.No body has the right to push thier beliefs on other people, and a lot of that pushing goes on here.Seems when the GOD subject comes up, it is like an all in brawl.So to answer your question, yes i would be happy for the religous chatter to dissapear overnight.

What exactly do you mean by Christian chatter? I know this has to go beyond the occasional Christian question. Are you talking about Christian questions designed for an agenda? Are you talking about using God or Jesus Christ in just about all the answers one gives? Are you talking about quoting from the bible to give an answer for just about any question that comes along? Are you talking about telling people to "read your bible" when they have challenges in life that they need help or answers for (even though you do not know their religious views)? Are you talking about adding God bless you to a comment even though the person is an Atheist? Is this the Christian chatter you are asking about?
I would be happy if some people would just start answering for themselves and stop leaning on their bible to do the answering for them. The bible works for the person who believes in it. It will not work for a person who does not believe in it. It is disrespectful to a non believer to have to hear what the bibles says when they have a question that does not pertain to religion or when a person says to them, "read the bible" as the answer.
I would be happy to see no more questions posted that are designed to just be able to talk about an individual religion and push an agenda. That is not what akaQA was created for.

Your question specifically says "Christian" chatter, so specifically you are referring to questions and answers that include reference or innuendo about Jesus Christ.
Personally, I am a Christian, struggling in this life much the same as many other people of all faiths or lacks thereof, and I don't find anything constructive in the "Christian chatter" on this site. I would appreciate being allowed to have MY delusional beliefs and am happy to respect your right to believe (or not) whatever you choose. So, YES, I would be happier.

No just the ones that try to ram their beliefs down others throats. I myself am a Christian, but I do know the fastest way to get someone to not listen to anyone one says is by cramming it down their throats and saying you are trying to save them. There are those on this site that do that and it is wrong. Jesus is the savior not them.

I think that tolerance is the key word here. I personally have no problem with any person expressing their personal beliefs. Whether I agree or disagree. As long as it's done in the form or a question or a civil conversation. I don't think that insulting people because of their beliefs or (lack of beliefs) is constructive behavior, for anyone.
When someone starts to make snide comments or insults another member, that's where it should end and people should just be able to agree disagreeably. I may have not always thought this way as Colleen well knows, but it's better to just get along and respect each others opinions.
TOLERANCE....

We would not be happy or unhappy. We would look for something else to be happy or unhappy about.That's the nature of the human brain. I just a show that said the brain is always changing based on what we but in it. New nuerons can develop. So since the brain keeps seeking learning and searching and developing, it's gonna do that with our without religious belief and/or theory. Thus we humans will always have some to research, argue over, laugh about etc. Religion happens to be the thing that takes a great deal of our time thoughts and belief systems. Look at sports in America, same thing. It's like a religious fever in this country. Football. You should have seen how crazed people were over the playoff game here last Sunday. We got to have something to be happy or unhappy about. Otherwise we'd be a rock.

Umbriel thanks for that note. I'll see if I can research a more accurate answer. I know the show said research has indicated something grows back. Right I believe you are accurate, synapses it what grows after as we learn new things, forming new connections. I hope to get back to you on this topic. Thanks again.

Tabber - I believe information is transmitted from neurons by the gap called synapse which is a tranmitter simplistically Your comments about the information stored by the brain is interesting but there are many very intelligent people who store information or stuff which they are not remotely interested in.

Aka says no preaching on the site. When I opened this questian the pop up advert was for 'Peace with God .net' and it says....Find out who God is... Strange? I think Aka should keep to their own rules. Should they make money from advertising God preaching sites?
I like the Christian chatter. I think the Christians on here have taken a lot of rude comments both personally and about our thoughts. When I see a questian unsuitable for the young or other vulgar subjects I simply move to the next questian. I dont have to read them. Why then do all those who dislike the Christian questians also move to the next on the list.

The adverts operate off of keywords and they operate on an individual basis. Not such a miracle after all. God was not speaking to you.
The administration of akaQA can do whatever they like. If you do not like this, there are other forums you can go lurk on and sit around typing only about God/Jesus and the bible.
The koolaid Christians have earned that rudeness from the members. Even Christians are standing up to them. They are sick of what is happening to their religion because of these preachers and thumpers.
The vulgar questions are removed. If you see one we missed report it, don't just mention it. When the Christian God dropping happens on a daily bases and there are old Christian questions from months and months ago flooding the forum by lurking Christians and grandapa3 the radical JW, then it makes it real hard for people to just move on to the next on the list because the next is yet another Christian question. One would think none of you read your bibles or go to church for the amount of help you need with your religion. You want religion? Go to church or go to a Christian forum.
NO PREACHING IS ALLOWED ON AKAQA BY ANY RELIGION.
This is the stated rule by the admin, got a problem with that? Quit the forum or take it up with the admin.

If the daily need of toilet paper, or the daily revolving of the earth from day to night and back again...does not upset one; because they are constantly repeated day after day...Even Though we know ALL about them...Why then should the mere mention of God and/or Jesus be upsetting? My neighbor doesn't like anyone to mention her sister because of a terrrilbe falling out they once had that severed the sisterly relationship. Wondering if Colleens' having issue because of something like that?

Toilet paper is there when you need it, otherwise it is not ever present on the brain. Maybe people need to do the same with God. Know he's there when they need him but live life without constantly worrying, like the roll of T.P., if he is still hanging there.
It's not the "mere mentioning of God/Jesus", it's the agendas that are upsetting. Say God/Jesus without an underlying agenda and people will not have such issue with the constant God graffiti here.
Wow Darren. Thanks for that. If you ever need some money, just need to ask and I will put my hand in my pocket and bring out a big wad of paper notes and somewhere mixed up in it will be a wee bit of paper with the address of a nice loan shark. I hope that made you smile my friend. Ha
