Christians, why post a question if all you're going to do is only accept answers from those who already thing like you?

All you apparently care about is inflating your egos, so why bother asking any questions if you're not willing to learn anything?

    simple.

    most of them aren't for real.

    'most' on YA are not honest in their presentations.

    check out the top contributors in any category - they will all be people with their q and a 'hidden' for some reason or other.

    as a poster with over 45000 points, i can tell you there is no downside to allowing people to access our responses and questions - except it means you would not be able to award best answers to your own shill accounts.

    literally every top contributor does this - the number of exceptions is depressingly small.

    many out here also get paid (very small amounts) to post - so it follows that they probably get some pathetically small award for getting higher status.

    yahoo doesn't care either as evidenced by the recent introduction of 'anonymous' posting - all yahoo cares about is ad revenues - which is why this forum has literally been taken over by phonies...

    Aren't you doing the same? People on the internet don't like to accept others' views, but they sure like contradicting someone. Are you going to agree with a christian answer or an answer accepting your view. Some christians don't believe there is an 'if' christianity is wrong, as such with people of other beliefs. Your question is more of a rant than a genuine question seeking knowledge.

    There is at least one person who asks questions things that are now known to be provable lies then blocks those who can give an honest answer.

    Why do they do it? I suspect it's because they hope that other christians or those wobbling in their faith don't read questions and answers from other users.

  • If a person wants to ask a question to a particular group, i can see that as meriting the request. For example, if you wanted to ask a question about the specifics of your worship practices, it makes sense, and is fair to only ask people of your religion.

    However, if you go further and ask more general questions, you can expect (and cannot prevent) answers from all directions.

    Because their "questions" are really preaching in disguise. They're not looking for answers; they're looking for other people to pat them on the back.

    (Note: this doesn't apply to all questions here but you can clearly see when people are extremely biased picking "best answer")
