Why waste 5 points on rhetorical questions?
So many "questions" in the Religion & Spirituality section are not real questions which seek genuine answers at all, but are simply rhetorical devices flung at members who hold different beliefs with a kind of in-your-face attitude. I doubt that the majority of them even bother to vote for a 'best answer', since any genuine answer to the question they asked would be coming from some opposite camp, and the question-asker has already demonstrated their closed mind.
So why do they bother doing it?
6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoBible Trivia: 1st suicide bomber?
Not technically a suicide 'bomber' since bombs weren't invented at the time. 10 pts to the first person who answers correctly. And no, you can't answer 'God' and point to the Flood. The correct answer is the name of a human in the bible who willfully and deliberately killed himself in order to kill a bunch of other people in a crowded place. This person did it for god and is viewed as a hero....
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoEnough retaliation yet?
Seriously, please. No pug/towelhead/kike-bashing answers here, ex: 'until every last one of them is dead!!'
We all know Hezbollah struck first. They killed and captured those Israeli soldiers on the border.
And I think everyone can agree that Israel has retaliated in spades, and killed far more lebanese than the Hez rockets.
My question is, okay but when will they stop? Suppose those soldiers were already dead or beheaded or whatnot. The Lebanese gov can't fight back, heck they can't even control Hezbollah on their own territory.
Does Israel eventually stop on its own, or do we have to wait for Uncle Sam to threaten to stop paying the bills?
Serious answers please.
13 AnswersCurrent Events1 decade agoModerate Muslims: why no fatwa vs. Bin Laden?
Non-muslims keep hearing that Islam is the religion of peace. Everyone knows that moderate muslims did not order the planes to hit the WTC on 9/11, but why do muslims not condemn the acts of these violent criminals? Where is the fatwa against AlQaeda? How can we believe your sincerity if you remain silent on this important issue?
