Do they rubberstamp with Jesus?
Someone asks a question about life matters, the Chrstiains respond with old Jesus cliche like this?
"Well, Jesus is our saviour and life, believe in Him and you shall have life,"
Just stamp it, cut and paste a tired old reason to love Jesus?
Is this what Christians do when they don't have any answers to questions people have?

Amen, brother. I couldnt agree with you more. When I was an alter boy at an early age and attended bible study...questions i had that seemed too contraversial were answered with a paddle and "God works in mysterious ways."

I understand your frustration with this type of response. I think you have validity in feeling that it is a superficial answer to whatever profound you may be asking at that time.
However, I do think that cliched answer does have a depth to it that in fact answers that question about life. But all to often the profound answers are used as superficial bandaids to people's problems.
It doesn't mean the answer is a poor choice, but merely the person using that phrase hasn't really thought about your question and background well enough to take the time to work out a more meaningful answer.

What would you do if you had no evidence for what you believe in? Christians only have one book to fall back on. One whole book! Which of course was not written by Jesus but many years after he died. I am an atheist today because I asked questions in church and got no real answers. Then I read the Bible and still got no real answers. It reminded me of reading Homer. The only answer Christians have is "Jesus said this or that". Some of which is very good stuff to live by. But it isn't evidence of some supernatural deity. Many men (and women) have said brilliant things over the last 5,000 years.

Most of the religions force followers to have faith and believe, without any questions...because these religions are very poor in philosophy
Budhism and Hinduism on the other side have a core philosophy dealing with life, death and the mystery of Universe...that z why these religions do appreciate questioning their religion without condemnation

No it's more like what they believe. That's why they say it, Christians are not a brain washed bunch of people like some other religions. They have all sorts of diffrent branches but the one thing the have in common is that Jesus loves them and saves them.

I cannot speak for all Christians but I would gladly answer any question you may have without rubberstamping anything.

Truth is not tired or old, it is eternal. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it untrue. The Gospel Message is simple. But mankind likes to complicate things. Would you prefer a complex lie? Satan has plenty of them for you!

This is what some Christians do. It's also what Muslims and other religions do when they can't make sense of life and death. They just go scrambling back to legalistic scriptures instead of offering any practical, meaningful insight into your questions. Not all Christians are like that, and not all people of any religion are like that, it depends on who you are exposed to.

The people offering you this advice truly believe they are offering you the best advice they have to give. Not all Christians will give you this answer, although their beliefs will still affect their answers to you on questions of morals and theology. If you do not like or agree with their answer, I suggest you keep asking until you receive an answer more to your liking. Meantime, you would do well to discontinue making such generalizations and attributing them to an entire group of people, Christians or otherwise.
