1. they want people who agree with them to give them props and add a little extra insight in their "question"
2. they,sometimes foolishy, think that no one will have credible arguments against what they have to say and the "asker" is aiming to solicit incompetent dissent

You're right! Do they really think they can convince a non-believer to believe?
