Why Does A Certain "pastor" Keep Blocking...?

I'm curious to know why a certain man who claims he is a "pastor" keeps asking questions to us Catholics, but blocking us from answering?

It is because this way he can say "Look, Catholics don't know the answers to my questions!" and feel smart?

Is it because he is just using it as a way to find all the Catholics and block them?

It is because he's just an intolerant, bigoted, immature person who can't handle his beliefs being shot down with Scripture and reason?

Seriously, if one asks a question about a certain religion, then it should be open to people of that religion to answer, right?

Update:

@ Jason: But if he doesn't want to hear that, then don't ask questions to them! If one asks questions of a religion, then it means he/she wants answers about that religion--especially if the questions is asked directly to them.

@ Devil's Advocate: I would have to disagree. I have found that they can certainly be in agreement with each other, but thank you for your answer.

    Agreed. It really defeats the purpose of a question and answer forum. I think he just wants to ask questions and then answer himself with his other accounts so as to appear right. Of course that's like cheating at Solitaire!!

    All of the above answers are correct.

    The question you are talking about was dealing with both Muslims and Catholics. The particular "pastor" who goes by Garrett/Ken/Paul/Jason/BB/CJ/Paterass is just trying to figure out why everybody knows he is a bigot.

    On his question about "what does a "pastor" have to do before you stop listening to them." When I hear Westboro-esque hate telling me what is wrong with my religion (and BTW purposefully doing it inaccurately) instead of hearing a message of love and what is so correct about their religion, that is when I shut my ears to their message from the Evil One. For Holy Scripture says there is "faith, hope and love, and the greatest of these is love." I refuse to listen to any "pastor" lacking in the greatest of these.

    I don't know... that coupled with all the sock accounts he has points to some kind of disorder. I'm not trying to be mean, but there's something not quite right about people with multiple accounts that they use to TU themselves and TD all who disagree. The signature "I'm a pastor" points to someone who is screaming for attention and affirmation, which he evidently gets primarily from his alts. He imagines their affirmations lead other people to mentally affirm his posts. He's someone who wants people to accept what he says, hence the use of the term "pastor" and the choir of ready-to-agree alts.

    I have decided that the best thing I can do is pray for him. I've been harsh in my comments to him, and that was wrong. Every time I see one of his posts I will pray for him.

    Under the Fairness and decency act, your absolutely correct. I doubt he's a Pastor of anything, if he is so afraid of the truth he can't openly defend it with Scripture to back up his statements then consider the source and write him off. By the way I'm a Nazarene and will gladly show you

    { Scripturally } where the Roman Catholic Doctrine is flawed. To begin with they are in violation of the 1st and 2nd Commandments; " Thou shall have no other God's before me." and " Thou shall not make unto thee any Craven Images." Also their claim that Peter was the first Pope is untrue ! Peter was NOT the Rock that the church was built on. Jesus Christ "is" the Rock. Isaiah 44:8 and Ephesians 2:20 note; Deuteronomy 32:4 and Psalm 18:12. That's just openers..... I won't block you.

    He - if indeed it is a he - is an intolerant, bigoted and hate-twisted cretin.

    A bit of wisdom: Those who scream the loudest for tolerance are often the same who extend it the least.

    Boycott his questions.

    I'm just answering to see if I get thumbed down by his fan club.

    Oh, and yes. Bigot, report monkey, multiple account extrordinaire.

    EDIT - Ha! He's so predictable, thumbing people down with his multiple accounts. Pathetic.
