Why do people answer questions they don't know?

I know what you mean, it happens to me also. I've been threatened by CHRISTIANS that they were going to kill me because I'm Wiccan, but they believe that I worship the Devil which is NOT the case.

I love nature. I love the Lord and Lady. I don't acknowldge the "Devil" as many of us Wiccans don't. I don't get how not believing in the "Devil" makes us "Devil" worshippers. Like, seriously? What sense does that make?

Just because I embrace nature and the Lord and Lady, how is that bad? That's what I would like to know.

If the query is intriguing ample then my reply most likely may not be the identical as a number of the different solutions. If it is a functional query that anybody can reply (and a few have already got with the proper reply), then I simply move it through. Why hassle? If it is a functional query however the different solutions are incorrect, then I'll commonly supply the proper reply (and be voted down besides, oh good). If it is a well setup query then I train one-liners. If it is a dumb query I supply it the dumb reply it merits. If it is a critical query I attempt to supply a major reply. Occasionally I'll learn the solutions and rip a number of of the opposite solutions. Sometimes I simply have a laugh with it.

I know the frustration you speak of. I've been there,too. I know nothing of muslim,and I say such. Same for Wicca,as I am just learning the particulars of this lifepath. And I agree: I do research as well, and no I don't acknowledge the devil and as for christian answers to questions I ask,or read: automatically THUMBS DOWN.

If it is a Pagan/Wiccan answer,I'll read it and decide,and usually,a thumbs-up it.

Yes,i do learn about my lifepath and I am glad you asked this,as alot of people need to know what they are typing about before they type it :)

At least THIS witch thinks so

Blessed be!

It annoys me too. What is worse is when I see a question to which I have researched or read about and then give what I feel is a reasonable answer and then I get a bunch of thumbs down from the ignoramuses who know nothing on the subject.

I know which question your talking about...and of course I saw the answers. Some people just get off on trying to be superior over other people. If I ever post a question to Wiccans or Pagans I am almost guaranteed 10 people telling me I am stupid or a satanist (my latest question didn't though..amazing!). I feel sorry for people like that.

some people do this for the social...some for fun and give silly answers just for kicks....

as for people of other faiths answering the questions wrong...this is an open forum so you will get some ignorant people mixed with some really good answers...just ignore the dumb ones. I have actually gotten some real interesting answers before.

They think they know the answer, they have an agenda, they want points, they have low self-esteem. It's not only Christians who answer questions on subjects they know nothing about and it's not limited to the R&S forum.

Because this is a discussion forem. Not answer only, debate, new ideas, and I see that this too is directed at the Christians. Wiccans and pagans answer on questions that pertain to other religions. I see more about the sun goddess and such on Christian questions. If it were just answers only, many would just be "Yes" or "No'. we learn by these.

If the asker just wanted the "answer" he or she would google it and choose from wikipedia or many other sites that pop up.

For the points of course.

It is a bit frustrating.
