Well I have a theory...
It is like a million monkeys typing on typewriters for a million years. They will eventually write out the complete works of Shakespeare.
However when it is these guys/girls typing we’ll eventually get the same questions ask over 1.3 million times. And guess what we’re not even half way there. Enjoy.

Because of 'cognitive dissonance'. On the one hand, the inner disturbances that move these folk to ask the questions in the first place has roots in the faith to which they claim to adhere. On the other hand, the answers they receive are incompatible with either their inner truth or their faith. You'll get the occasional very lucky person who gets the answer they really need to hear, couched in terms that their faith can accept, but they tend to shut up after that point.
The basic reason why they can't slotting move on is that the basic doctrines of the faiths have not changed in response to cultural and scientific discoveries. More importantly, the faiths have become the "Powers That Be", instead of the underground revolutionaries who founded the faith in the first place. They remember what life was like when temples to the Roman gods were the dominant social, and therefore religious, force in folks lives, or at least the Bible tells them so, and they don't want to lose their place at the top of the food chain. When was the last time you stopped by a temple of Hermes to pray and sacrifice in an attempt to get the better part of an upcoming business deal? That's what would happen if Christianity/Atheism were genuinely marginalized.

I agree, somehow. I think everyone who has a little common sense in them has understood by now that christians and atheists don't agree and both believe they are right. But still people have the right to ask WHY.
I'm an atheist, and I like to know why people believe in something they can't see, nor hear, nor prove, something that asks stuff of them and never gives them back anything but promises, and why they keep using their silly, illogic and irrational arguments over and over again.

NO! It's the religion section! Unless you have some deeply profound new questions about religion, which I doubt you do, there's nothing new under the sun! Go to philosophy! They have different questions over there! I need to stop talking with exclamation points! But I can!t! What should I do! See, that should have been a question mark! but it was instead an exclamation point! Heck! even my commas are becoming exclamation points! Can!t I do anything about that?

No, of course not. There are thousads of each on this site and they all feel compelled to ask each question themselves. Just lilke I've seen at least 5 people calling for a stop to all this before you.

Frustrations come and frustrations go. You are currently experiencing the first one. Relax, take a deep breath, and experience number two.

I'd rather focus our energies on stopping that annoying Retard!
Or getting YA to come up with a way to blot out certain users, so you can't even see their questions.

My only response to this is simple...I wonder how many times Jesus, Buddah, Mohammed, and all the other religious figures in history said this to themselves.

Well, one of the questions I have most read is this one: Why do XXX keep asking the same questions?
