Why not??   If someone doesn't appreciate the subject they can choose to ignore the question Or choose another category. As you know I am not a believer but some Bible question are perfectly valid.If you don't ask you will never know.

Biblical questions should be allowed..where in the Bible is Psalms was a question...there was also a question of where someone could find a topic written in the book of Revelations..these seem legitimate to me.  Some of your 'questions' have been written in such a way that the only way one would read them would conclude that you are preaching from the New Testement as an Evangelist would.  I believe you made a comment on my answer to "Will you stand Firm" but it was 404d before I could read it.  Since some SEX questions and many POLITICAL questions are allowed (and I highly suggest you read how the Questions are posed) are allowed I would speak with the admin. If you still have concerns.  P.S. what did the admin say..I cannot find their posted reply.

Colleen

There was no posted reply from the admin. It was e-mailed to Randy. Religious questions are allowed. There is a category for them. Preaching is allowed and you saw the one that was removed for preaching.

Colleen

"The line between preaching and stating your believes is questionable."

The admin have given you the line. If you do not agree with the line then you should find another forum for your religious "questions". Many members along with the admin deemed your question preaching. The line was drawn.

Ask the admin Randy.  We don't make the rules.

Yes, religious questions should be allowed. 
There are all kinds of preaching that go on around here, Headless Man, and it doesn't all center around religion or faith. Sometimes it gets out of hand.  
MOST of us are adults and should be able to censor ourselves. We are also human, so that doesn't always go well.  
What is the point of the questions you are asking?  One has already been 404'd. You know better than to upset the apple cart.

This question you have here has nothing to do with what you commented to Bob. Stop mixing questions. Your religious question was deemed to be a preaching question by the admin and many members. As for me being rude, that is your interpretation and you are welcome to it. I was not trying to make you the bad guy, I was pointing out your apparent lack of education and understanding about homosexuals and their lives and their right to the same freedoms you enjoy. I was also defending the homosexuals from your biblical verses used to go against them and their life. It is all still there for anyone to read.

Religious preaching is not allowed, but you are free to answer any question that is posted on akaQA, even if it's about religion. If you have an example of a comment you made and one of the moderators didn't aprove it, please send it to us.

This is the admin answer, preaching and asking is a thin line if you ask me.

They have a Religion & Spirituality categorie.

Colleen

"They have a Religion & Spirituality categorie."

But it does not say preaching. Many members answered your question Randy and they all called your question preaching and asked you to stop. There was no thin line. It was boldly apparent you were preaching and pushing your religious agenda.

The admin will be sending you another e-mail better explaining this to you.

Colleen

This is a privately owned public forum that you pay no fees to join. You are a guest here and have no money invested in it. There is nothing your religious organization can do about this legally. If you two want to destroy akaQA through this, then you are not the people you claim to be. God followers should not destroy out of ego and tantrums. There is no prejudice against religion here. There is not preaching and religious grandstanding allowed. That is the right of the forum owners. Stop being a bully and trying to force your way here. There are thousands of Christian forums you can hold sermon on. It is not allowed here.

This has been answered to you by me and by the admin in an e-mail. Do not ask this again.

Colleen

I know doo. You're OK. :)

Here is one agnostic view: WHY NOT?

Colleen

Religious questions are allowed. Preaching is not.

Colleen

Sorry Val, that was for Randy. I must have posted that 20 times between all his questions about religious rules. I figured at some point he might see one of them.

Well I am buggered if I can work out what AKAQA stands for.

Wrongly I thought it was ALSO KNOWN AS QUESTION & ANSWER but you asked a question, let me repeat the question for those that either chose to misread it or chose to not understand.

"Should Bible questions be allowed here?'

 Very few of the respondents chose to answer, but rather chose to attack you even by "Loud" shouting.

You did not as can I preach on here, you did not ask can I try to get followers on here you asked should Bible( not religious even) questions be allowed/
Me YES, as long as they are legitimate questions and not lead in to pushing a barrow.

Colleen

He posted this question after his preaching question got pulled. He also posted "Should gay questions be allowed here?" even though his gay question was never in any danger of being pulled. He also asked, "Should atheist questions be allowed here?" This is one of the questions he supposedly apologized for because he knows he only posted it while having a tantrum.
He needs to grow up and you need to stop falling for his crap. akaQA is an extremely fairly run forum and if you notice it's only the bible thumpers who ever have issue with it. If they do not like it, they can leave.

Those who "chose to not understand" where here when all his antics went down. They knew exactly what he was up to and they called him on it. This question should have been taken down but I didn't want to be accuse of censoring but since it is now causing disruption because it is a deceptive question I this will give me good reason to remove it because it is misleading people as to what went on. He threw a fit because the admin pulled his question because it was not a question. He used it for his agenda to save people because he believes many here need saving. He called this opinion. The admin call it preaching. As for the yelling, I was getting his attention as he kept posting this question over and over. Like I said, you were not here during Randy's 3 hour tantrum.

A question is generally a request for knowledge.  
If someone wants to know something about a faith or religion, ask a question about it.  If someone is nosing around to find out what someone does or doesn't believe, and then starts harpooning him/her with tidbits and admonishments, that's harassment.  I haven't seen anything that qualifies for preaching here.  HARASSMENT.

Maybe you missed that one, it has since been removed.

Colleen

If you do not see any preaching here, then that means are doing our job well. Preaching belongs in church or on religious websites. It does not belong on akaQA and we work hard to remove it and keep the site comfortable for all. No one comes here to be told they need to be saved.

I just saw your other comment. Looks like we posted at the same time. I will leave my comment for others to see.

OH YES COLLEEN I SEE IT.BUT I WAS ASKING WHY DO I NOT RECEIVE A REPLY,FROM ADMIN,FOR THE TIMES I HAVE BEEN BARED,ARE THEY ABOVE GIVING A REASON FOR THIER DECISIONS

Colleen

They can not get in touch with you. Your e-mail address does not work.

Of course!

ONLY ON SUNDAY, DURING THE TIMES OF THE MASS,IN CHURCH.

Colleen

hector, I replied to your question you left me in Jenn's thread.

If there were no religious questions on this site I would not bother to visit. I believe that all religions are alike- founded on fables and myths, but I do believe in freedom of speech.

Randy, we are sick and tired of your preaching which is not appropriate for this site. Go and join a Christian site where you can preach as much as you like. You can't say you are not preaching because you are. People who lie go to the devil and burn in the eternal flame. There are people here from other religions whom you need to respect. They do not impose upon you. We have atheist and agnostics, please respect them. We all do not need you to save us from anything. The only thing we need saving from IS YOU!  So cool it, pipe down. If you feel the need to preach go and stand on a street corner with a microphone. That's what people did in the old days.

Apparently, Asking for a bible verse or saying bible verse is 404ed now, so preaching is not the problem, was just testing to see, now I wouldn't be surprized to see this link go them maybe ME, rules keep changing, why?

I might need to talk to aclj........

Colleen

Talk away to your religious group. You were trying to open a pulpit and have the members carry out your agenda for you. Totally uncool and unacceptable.

I DID NOT SEE IT COLLEEN.
