Do you ask more questions about things opposite your beliefs or in line with your beliefs?

I think questions are asked out of curiosity. So it is well safe to say you ask questions about things opposite your beliefs. \nHuman nature seems to question other people's lines of thought but it is hard for someone to look within themselves, even when they are told to. Just a thought.

Yes, people generally pick what they want to hear.\n\nThat goes for the religious person as well who obviously picks a question filled with bible quotes vs a rational philosophical debate that shows the lack of argument a dogmatist has.

My values based on my religious belief makes me say yes it is wrong. However i do not impose my beliefs on others.  So I will also mention that is is widely excepted.  I pose the question to you, if this is your decision how do you feel about it?

People should politely inform other people about their religion then leave it up to them to decide what they want to believe. \nI think expanding one's knowledge of different religions is always beneficial, whether you agree with their ideas or not.

I can't answer that, but I know you seem to be right.  I try to keep my opinions to myself in public, because I know I cannot be pursuaded to another belief, so why argue?  "They," however, seem to like to get into disagreements and arguments, and I don't give in.  On here, however, I love commenting on some of the silly answers given!  Too bad it isn't like IM so we can discuss some of these things further...

Yes.  If you are strong in your faith, you are willing and able to consider the alternative without fearing it will shake your faith.  Only the weak-willed and weak-faithed hesitate to answer 'what if' questions.

I think most people ask questions with a sincere desire to find answers to their unresolved problems.  Some ask to be reassured, some to ridicule and some have a preconceived viewpoint and want to be vindicated.  Those people do not consider another point of view and are rather insulting to those who have a different belief.

It depends on the nature of the question.  If its just a general question, sure, why not?  If its of a personal nature, than no, I would ask people whom I value the opinion of.\n\nI do, however, love posting questions that really have no answer, it's interesting to see the various opinions that come up.  But then again, I am born for arguments or rather intellectual debates.

This question is asking about others' logic?

The answer to this question entirely depends upon the person who is answering it AND upon their individual belief system.  If I say I believe the answer is "no", that has a certain meaning.  If I say that I believe that answer is "yes" that has an entirely different meaning.  Ultimately it is an existential question that addresses developmental issues of self/other (environment) and...existence.

I don't know.\n\nI've learned more about what other's think and why they believe as they do.  I've been challenged to think about and answer questions I hadn't considered.  But my faith remains.

You bet! And vice versa. \n\nMy faith and my gods want me to ask questions. We grow by asking questions and seeking answers. Most of the time asking questions leads to more questions, but it's been my experience that asking questions and having doubts can strengthen faith.

you can not fully be a believer in anything without asking questions.  if you are blindly calling yourself a member of a religion without asking questions, you are not a real believer.  if you are not willing to ask questions then your faith is not strong.  only real belief is strong enough to withstand questioning.  so if someone does not or will not question then they cannot say they truly believe.  even religious teaching tells you to find the truth and gain knowledge.  the only way to do that is to question what you believe.  the apostles questioned their faith and they walked and talked with jesus.  st. augustine, st. thomas of aquinas, john the baptist, martin luther, and others all questioned their faith.  so do it and see where you really stand.  anyone who doesn’t is an idiot without the capability of thought or understanding who blindly follows anything.

Sometimes I prefer to not answer those because I am afraid that I would say something that opposes what the Yahoo! Answers team had previously said. With this irrational fear, I refuse to answer questions as such, but this might be an exception.

that you like to ask thought-provoking questions to get a rise out of the religious right.  Kudos.

I have trouble trying to tell people on Answers! my beliefs, even after they ask about them.\n\nMost often it is Christians. They ask a question, then I answer it honestly and they either report me to Yahoo, or they send me email, saying that I'm going to Hell and I don't belong in their world.\n\nI never say anything specificlly to offend people, I, along with most others on Answers just answer truthfully.\n\nI don't think my statements are taken out of context, however, I just think that they don't like to hear the Truth!!

I understand your question.  But be careful because you could cause doubt in the opposite way.
