I asked :
"Christians, what type of stones should I use when stoning my unruly child in accordance with the bible ? "
as a way of pointing out the pure ridiclous nature of much of the bible's content and some crazy fundamentalist has it removed.
What is it with this fear of questioning and enquiry ?
Should I just shut up and say nothing when I come across horrible violence in the bible ?
Is it that they know that if even one part of their bible is shown to be ridiculous.... the whole thing crumbles ?

No, its because people like your believe that being hurtful and spitful are ok when it comes to religon. It basically comes down to, "Why are you a bigot?"
Word History: Bigots may have more in common with God than one might think. Legend has it that Rollo, the first duke of Normandy, refused to kiss the foot of the French king Charles III, uttering the phrase bi got, his borrowing of the assumed Old English equivalent of our expression by God. Although this story is almost surely apocryphal, it is true that bigot was used by the French as a term of abuse for the Normans, but not in a religious sense. Later, however, the word, or very possibly a homonym, was used abusively in French for the Beguines, members of a Roman Catholic lay sisterhood. From the 15th century on Old French bigot meant “an excessively devoted or hypocritical person.” Bigot is first recorded in English in 1598 with the sense “a superstitious hypocrite.”

the question is valid, the example, poor choice .Stoning not the way to get answers ,next time try something like this,In the time of sodom and Gomorrah there were very bad people there according to the "bible" god had the town destroyed men ,women and children ,now my question is this what did the children do to deserve to die if the answer is nothing other then being born to bad parents, does this make god a murderer Ive tried asking this question still no answer, surprise surprise.

Well, if you lived in the "Old Testament days, you surely would not have to ask about the type of stone to use to stone your child....but
We have a new and better covenant "Christ", who when asked about stoning a woman for adultery He responded:
He that is without sin cast the first stone....Since we are all of the flesh, the sinful nature, none of us have the right to cast a stone.

Maybe because the Bible doesn't actually say to do that? Also maybe because you don't want a real answer, you are just out to try to make fools of others?

Ah, so if Jesus disapproved of stoning in the new testament, then wasnt he disobeying his Father? Should god have stoned him?? :-)

maybe because you are looking for a fight to begin with when you are asking a question like that? everyone gets defensive when someone is picking a fight.
