Questions about who made God and what did God do before he created us and all kinds of other questions that there are no answers for simply because God did not intend fo us to know all of that until we reach heaven. He knew that our pea sized brains could not understand such stuff. What God wants people to focus on and understand is their need for salvation and what God did so that they could be saved and spend eternity with him in heaven.

Yeah,
but God made people courious and there is absolutly nothing wrong with asking questions. Of course one needs to understand that there isn't a known answer for many questions...
You have to remember that usually non-believers were NOT brought up going to church all the time and they don't know for sure if these questions do in fact have answers or not. At least they are interested in the religion at all. They can ask questions and even put down the faith but hopefuly that will bring more Christians to help show them the truth.
With all their questions, complaints, etc.. it may actually lead them to a place where they can find the truth.

I just asked "The CPT" that same question - is it curiosity or do they simply make themselves feel better by mocking the beliefs of others? Why are they even in the religion category if the don't believe in religion or the existence of God? I hear negative comments all the time about Christians trying to "force" their beliefs on others, but some of the atheists on this site seem very intent on disproving Christians (isn't that "forcing" their beliefs or disbeliefs on us). I think we need to respect each other a little more and we'll all get along. Jesus taught tolerance of others.

Man is a curious creature by nature.Always wanting to know more.If not for this curiosity you wouldn't be able to sit down at your computer and post this query.There would be no advances in technology if not for this level of curiosity.
But we live in an age where facts,not faith,are the rule.
If people took it on faith that things were only as we understood them without investigation , then we would still be in the dark ages.Finding answers to our greatest questions has led to countless improvements in our daily lives.Advances in the field of medicine alone should be proof enough of that!
Knowing what we know today ,it's only natural to ask questions about God.

How on Earth do you, with your "pea-sized brain," know what God wants? How do you know what questions are unnecessary? How do you know what God's intent is?
Please don't fall back on the bible for an explanation of knowing God's will. If the entirety of God's will and intent could be contained in a single book, it would be possible to read that book and then know God's mind. God would then cease to be "God" because he would be knowable, limited, and finite. And that means that reading the Bible would make you greater than God, because your capacity to understand extends past the boundaries of a single book.
How can you stand being so arrogant?

So in other words, you can't provide those answers because God doesn't want you/us to have them? I've been raised with the idea that if you're old enough to ask, you're old enough for the answers.
One reason why we ask questions like that is because believers don't. You in particular seem to be content to be spoon-fed your answers and assume that if you have to ask a question you don't need the reply. The "need to know" for you ends with the Bible's last verse. That's a kind of blindness, and I have little paitence with it. If epople did not ask questions like that, how else would we get answers?
Your inability to answer said questions also suggests that the entire basis of your religion is just as questionable.

You are right. Don't use your pea sized brain to try and find out answers to questions, just tell your teacher: If God had wanted me to know this, I would have an answer for you.

It's mostly that we can not believe that someone thinks that any of it is real. GOD IS JUST PRETEND! I have done nothing wrong, I have no need of forgiveness or salvation and unless you are truly evil neither do you. I grew up going to church and even as a child I though god was mean, petty, and full of hate

Non-believers don't agree with what believers think and feel about God and life, so of course they ask questions like that. They don't see them as unnecessary. If their questions bother you that much, don't answer them, but pray for them on your own.

"all kinds of other questions that there are no answers for simply because God did not intend fo us to know ..."
You -are- aware that you have made a claim to know what god intended, right?
You don't find it hypocriticial to claim you cannot know why god did what he did yet you can claim to know what god intended?
hmm...
