No, not at all. They have served a great purpose on this site. But I might ask, when you say religious questions, are you also talking about the recent questions on atheism?
This is a grand opportunity to meet with opposing views, and confront our own. A lot of misconceptions have been laid to waste. I recently asked an honest question about Eastern Religions and Atheism, only to be hounded by someone accusing me of a secret Christian agenda that I must be selling.
It didn’t stop until the person realized that just because I study a religion, doesn’t make me a practitioner.
I was extremely grateful when another opportunity was given me to address some commonly held Old Testament misconceptions. An educated Atheist entertained me in debate with a pleasant enough manner and we were each capable of expressing our positions clearly. That would NEVER have been possible without this type of environment to engage within. The intricate details would have never been presented otherwise. That person also has my respect for actually understanding his position beyond the ignorant passions of so many who try to speak on these topics.
We can’t expect to go through life without being confronted about our beliefs. We certainly should not desire a world where we cannot honestly question others about their beliefs. Honestly question, with the desire to learn and question ourselves in the process.
I firmly believe, that when two heavily entrenched camps are at odds with one another, the real truth will be found somewhere in between them. That’s what I’m learning from these discussions. I’m grateful to this site for giving me an opportunity to seek out that truth.
