Is there a point to asking atheists a question and then blocking them so they can't answer?

How does that work?

Update:

For the record: I don't block anyone.

    Great idea! Silence all viewpoints other than your own! Woo hoo.

    It's just a stupid trolling tactic, and if other people don't know it's happening, it makes it look like the blocked group doesn't know how to answer. Only pathetic people do stuff like that.

    Blockers gonna block

  • I suppose it is intended to be a rhetorical question for the amusement of like-minded non-atheists.

    I've never blocked anyone. I maintain a list on my Y!A profile of those who have blocked me.

    I think they do that just so they can get lists of atheists to block.

    Sure, you ask a question of atheists as bait.

    Those that reply with things that out them as an atheist, you block, so you can then as the real question to your intended audience.

    Welcome to Religion and Spirituality.

    May the trolls hide under their bridges and Report Monkeys eating feces from their trees.

    The Christians babble about the Babble and atheists deflower holy daughters.

    Oh and the Bible thumpers eat babbys too.

    That is because they know the atheists have the education and intellect to know the truth and live in reality and their faith is too weak to cope with it!

    Lol. Are you talking about Camille. She blocks pretty well everyone. I don't know who is left to read her questions!

    Seems to make sense to some...

    Several have done it to me...

    I've never blocked anyone myself...

    Seems rather cowardly and really accomplishes nothing...

    IMHO
