According to observed common practive in the Religion and Spirituality forum...?

... I would like to give Best Answer not to someone who offers an informed and considered reply, but to someone who gives an answer that reinforces the beliefs I already and unquestioningly hold. Can someone tell me how to go about this?

Update:

... and I'm really cross I mistyped "practice"...

Update 2:

Some of you people! I feel like I've been smeared with treacle already!

    I think the anti-evolution crowd (the ones that ask questions where they pretend to want to know the details about evolution, but in reality they're just venting) would be able to answer that for you.

    One would have to know the beliefs that you already unquestioningly hold in order to reinforce them.

    I do it already. I often ask questions just to see what others believe, and to see what people who I disagree with think. I usually pick the person I agree with most as best answer, but sometimes I pick the person I disagree with most, just so I can tell them WHY i disagree with them, or to refute their arguments.

    say whatever you like in the following constraints:

    be kind

    consider the answers of the people who give them honestly

    ignore the trolls

    dont believe anything that doesn't make sense to you

    move on to the next Q/A

    peace

    Source(s): yes i understood your question, but since I usually ask Q's because I'm interested, I don't suggest you do what you're saying

    Excellent practice Bad Liberal. One that I agree with, just as I agree with everything you've ever said or thought, including what you had for dinner last night!

    And you simply go about it the same excellent way you've gone about everything in your life! Gosh, I am a better human being just by knowing you.

    And I misspell "practice" all the time too. In fact, I think EVERYONE should spell it "practive" from now on!!! It's far better than that other way!!!

    You can always answer your own question... but I THINK, since you're asking, that you're an atheist who hates God and the Christian point of view...does that do it..BTW..could care less about the 10 points....

    Stop being grumpy. Naturally people give Best Answer to something they understand. They are limited by their own ability to understand and you may be ahead of them. Be understanding of people's limitations. What good are the points anyway? I wish I could trade mine for some grocery coupons or something useful.

    I appreciate your point of view, but the process is voluntary you

    just pick the answer you like and click.
