I never quite understood why a question like "Does God exist?" results in somebody getting a thumbs up or down if it truly pertains to the topic at hand. Is a theist's opinion any less valid than an atheist's? Or vice versa? Instead of voting a thumbs down based on your own opinion, why not judge answers based on the clarity in which the opinion is communicated and leave bias aside?
By the way, I have seen this on both sides, so I'm not picking on any one group here. It is just discouraging that so many people who claim to be open-minded demonstrate their narrow-mindedness by voting down another opinion because they happen to disagree with the point of view alone.
