Or does it challenge the answerers and by challenging the answerers to refute us, thereby challenge our own presumptions?

Btw: I want to clarify that I do mean provocative and not rude. There is a distinction.

No it isn't wrong to ask provocative questions about religion or spirituality. Without such questions we do not really think about the world we are living in around us. Everything in life no matter the subject should be looked at in such a way.

Not if you are sincere. Some people ask provocative questions and actually choose the best response (as opposed to the one that affirms their bias).
Most here are not sincere or respectful. I've stopped answering questions like that because there is no real dialogue. It is a silly game.

Great question!
Please consider these tidbits:
Jews for Jesus = Vegetarians for Hamburgers
God? He or She?
Church? Christianity? Jesus? God? Dying?
What is the "Imacculate Conception"?
Does Imacculate Conception have anything to do with "VIRGIN BIRTH"?
Google "Imacculate Conception" and in less than a minute you will discover that the IC is NOT the "Virgin Birth".
What else do you falsely believe?
Jesus, the basis of Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Can Gods die?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
No Eternal sacrifice, big deal for a day!
If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.
If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!
Life after death is like virginity after childbirth.
If the flesh of Jesus died, what was seen walking and talking on Sunday?
If you believe this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to believe it too to validate you.
Christians want everyone to convert to their non-thinking in order to be 'saved'.
Believing and not thinking is like choosing to be lost.
P.S.
[Do Christians on Yahoo! answers feel righteous when they report questions they disagree or disapprove of?

That depends on which open minded religion you're asking.
There is one which however sincere it is, it seems to be taboo even if it is mentioned with an "I" or "M"
