Can you spot the violation!?

The question was - Why do churches spend billions on stained glass, marble and statues when there's people starving daily?

The answer was - And when was the last time you took a homeless lady out for dinner is when? That's what I thought!

Can you spot the "misuse of the question and answer format" in this?

    Not all churches are like that, many nowadays, like mine, is attached to a plaza in a former warehouse. They use al their money towards the will of God. There are churches that are out for money, and I suggest you go to a few different ones and it will be easy to realize what churches actually use their money for good use. Give money to that one, and give 10% to them, not to the church, but to God, God knows who you are really giving it to and he will repay you 100 fold in this lifetime. There's much proof of this. It happens because giving 10% shows your trust in God and a tithe is a tenth.

    It could have been the phrase "churches and billions" also.

    Answering a Question with a question is a violation, though it was qualified with a statement after the question it still wasn't answering the question so it is still a violation.

    Source(s): Had thousands upon thousands of violation notices.

    You failed to adequately answer the question. A stupid reason to get a violation, but it happens all too often, and since that *is* a violation of the rules, you just gotta live with it.

    Yes that is technically a violation. But if yahoo had a nickel for every violation that occurred in this forum alone, they would buy out Google.

    The question wasn't answered, and the non-answer was addressed personally to the asker.

    Peace.

    No. Use of the Socratic method is an appropriate answer.
