Although the person may not mean to stir up issues, a lot of answers get offensive and judgmental (from all sides of this issue). Are you willing to promise to respect the person who asks a question without creating hostile feelings?
Can we all get along?
For my fellow Christians, think about Christ's example. He only was hard on the Pharisees and the disciples (because they should know better) but was kind and gentle to those who honestly sought answers to questions. He also was respectful to them (the woman at the well, the people he healed, the centurion, etc).
Can we all try to get along and to promise from now on to answer in a way that is respectful to the other person. No one says you have to agree with them, but can we disagree in a way that still respects them as an individual. Or at least in a way that won't get them angry.
