Why do many people in R&S take things so seriously?

Question

i think there's enough time for seriousness in a day. never having fun is bad for your health :)

Answer 1

Political control of the world by an unelected group of people under the guise of religion is not a serious subject ?

Answer 2

I don't but I have fun making it seem like I do.

Actually the almost total stupidity shown on this site by some people is hilarious. Their lack of knowledge of our country, how it works, and their wish to revise history to suit their own ideas is amazing and humorous at the same time. But the funniest part is when they tell me what I think and what I believe.

Answer 3

Well its a very serious subject. Many people feel strongly one way or another.

One thing in society that cannot be questioned is religion. It has been granted an almost immune status from any skepticism, but when people who oppose it speak out, as they very well should, (in a peaceful manner that provokes an intellectual debate of course) other people feel extremely offended. The cycle continues from bible readings to statistics and back and forth.

Answer 4

God is not a subject to be taken lightly.  Your immortal soul is at stake here.  Don't you realize that?.  When you mock God, you mock your own soul.  Do you want to go to h**l?  Do you not want to pass "GO" and collect $200? Do you think God doesn't read this?  If you do, you are just fooling yourself.  What you do here will come back to you sevenfold!  Repent now before it is too late.  Oops, it's too late, you're doomed!!  Praise Jebus and all that is holly.  

Answer 5

good question, have no idea, its pretty silly though to watch!

Answer 6

Because Religion and Spirituality is about the most serious conversation topic possible in the world...

I think the real question is "Why do people take things on R&S so lightly?"

Really, our eternal lives are dependent on being right or wrong in matters discussed in this section... how much more serious can a subject get?

-edit-

If you want to have fun, shouldn't that be done on the "jokes and riddles" section? :)

Answer 7

If they ever acknowledge how ridiculous their beliefs are they'll have to face life (and death) with no get out free card. They'll have to reflect on how long they spent in servitude to a non-existent beard-faerie and it's hypocritical money-grubbing priesthood. They'll have to contemplate actual death and genuine reality.

Most are too weak to ever manage it.
