Why do people use the Bible in response to questions as if it's 100% true, no questions asked?

Here is a word, an onomatopoeia to be exact, that will tell you why:\n\n"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Why do people answer to questions without knowing s**t?

I always think that asking questions opens the cracks that are in our own faiths and beliefs. Its like going through Microsoft Word with Spell-Checker. You find lots of mistakes and you feel bad. But at the end, you feel better because the end product is polished and structurly sound. Its the same with asking questions that challenge us.

Because people question what they don't understand, they trash it to make themselves feel big, and with that they think it will prove their believes to be true. \nOthers are afraid of it, what if it is true! and they are not one of those who believe in it!  \n\nThey shouldn't judge the Bible with what some Christian do, as we can judge all other people and what their's do.  Religion is a personal thing, and the Bible is a living book.  Think about it.

Dude I totally agree with you plus how do we know the bible is true like seriously there is no proof to what they say in the bible it could all be a lie

Reverence is not required from those who do not believe.  You will not believe if you are not exposed to the Bible, or it's message in the first place.  Exposing yourself to it may result in belief, which might require reverence, but until then - reading the Bible will return to you only what you put into it.  There are some people who read the Bible looking for ways to cut it down - and they find those ways.  Reading it to enjoy the story-line is perfectly okay.

I quote the bible because my opinion means very little. I consider the bible the true word of God.

It's sad you cannot post a question without being attacked by Christians that claim  to adhere to the words of the Bible, particularly "Judge ye that not be Judged" and "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." These so-called Christians should be ashamed for not allowing you to express your different Point of view in an open forum.  I think an even better point to make for these individuals who are willing to attack you in such a juvenile way is to quote my Kindergarten teacher “If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all." May whichever god you choose, even if it’s none, bless you all.

I question everything...I believe it says in the Bible somewhere to do that...ahh, here it is:\n\n"Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; behold, these know what I said." \n\n~ John 18:21\n\nI question everything I do not know for certain. I am, after all, insatiable for the Truth.

They have the truth and teach from the bible. Ask them anything and you will be pleasantly surprised to see that they ALWAYS answer from the bible, rather than from philosophy or tradition.

No.  I ask the questions to which I want to know the answer.  I ask them once.  My questions have nothing to do with my own faith/religion or lack thereof.  They mostly have to do with my ignorance of other religions.

There are lots of people who analyse the Bible. They tend to be quiet, academic people who's views are not "exciting"enough to make the press. We only hear from two sorts of people :\n\n1) Those who read it and are convinced that every word is absolutely true. WRONG! It may be inspired by God but it was written by men, and has been translated goodness knows how many times, of course it has many errors and  inconsistencies, and even (dare I say it) deliberate falsehoods.\n\n2) Those who don't read it and are sure it is absolutely false. WRONG! At the very least it is an admirable work of history : even if you are an atheist, you can't blindly say its not true.\n\nThere are adjectives that describe both types of person ; bigot, closed minded, well, OK, I'll stop, but I could go on for quite a while.\n\nJust ask yourself this if you are worried about the Bible being robust : how many YAHOO! Answers will be discussed or debated in 2-3000 years time?\n\nHave you analysed it? Try, its actually a very good read.

Because it is not necessary for us to know Enocs writings. Everything we need to know is in the Bible.

I think it's a matter of choice.  We Christians choose to turn any question and give an answer that will somehow reflect our belief in Christ.  Your choice is to read the answers and decide whether or not you like the answer.  What you choose will not offend us; but we believe that every action that every single person in this world makes, is written in a big book in Heaven.  And we want to make every opportunity count by telling people about God in one way/shape/form or another.  If you want to be preached at, go to church.  We are simply giving our God and Bible based opinions.

So they can fill in the gap in their mind that questions the purpose of life and existance.  Whether or not the bible is truth, people just feel good believing something rather than nothing... thus the gap is filled and they can sleep better at night, regardless of whether what they believe is right or wrong.

Sometimes it is because they really want to know how others can respond to it.  A lot of questions are loaded, but that is because sometimes people have so much that they think on a subject, and that is reflected in their question.  \n\nSometimes someone does it to try to prove a point.  Sometimes it is a rhetorical question meant to bring up a point of weakness in a faith.\n\nThe answerers can shed light on the topic however to all who would read the question.  Perhaps the one asking will not listen to an objective answer, but other readers might.\n\nI think that most questions asked in this forum are sincere, and people are really seeking answers, or seeking to know how other people may answer the same question.

A lot of Christians believe that you HAVE to believe in the bible, or not believe at all.  Some Christians also feel that if you're seeking alternative answers, you're claiming that the bible isn't good enough.  Looking for rational answers instead of swallowing what you're told doesn't mean you can't believe in God.  Believing the first thing you're told and refusing to question isn't faith, its ignorance.
