I know that every question has an answer, which is usally an equally puzzeleing and thought provoking phrase, but you know what I mean

I would like to give you an example, but I'm afraid that I do not believe that there is such a thing as a completely unanswerable question.
This is not because such difficult questions do not exist, but rather because of the limitless fecundity of the human imagination. Take a look around here, for example. You could ask just about any question you like and fairly easily collect a dozen answers.
Some of the answers will be satisfying but completely untrue. Some will be absolutely true but not for everyone. And some will apparently have nothing to do with anything... but upon inspection bore cleverly to the true heart of the question you didn't ask but meant to.
I suspect that you will find this answer, for example, somewhat unsatisfying. And possibly untrue. BUT it IS an answer, whether you like it or not. And perhaps even a thought-provoking one, too. ( :

If asked for an opinion, by not giving an answer in accordance to one's initial thought,
Is that considered hypocrisy, dishonesty or just a social skill?
Define each term, and subsequently explain why the action taken is one and not the other, within this context.

highly, contained in the Indian area, continually solid, Banzi, Odumpally, Buzzbee, Anil have solid questions.... your hindu non secular questions are solid too.. yet you dont like my problematical solutions.. Vulture: although dnut's solutions mirror my perspectives yet extra detailed, yet maddymax by no potential presented me atleast one BA. while continually solid provides opportunities to diverse answerers as she is actual Compassionate . although in question about Radha and Rukmini, I gave a harsh answer to continually solid. She is purely emotional yet solid. Her questions are extra commonly used, so i do not answer a lot of them. Edit: i'm satisfied that D'nut is extra knowledgeable and humble than 2 years in the past. that is virtually know-how and replacing our attitudes. a real nationalist needs freedom for all, than self-popularity. finally, how we impression others in a very good way is extra major than the criteria and BA one receives. Being a vaishnava, i'm the following to debate thoughts than getting factors. Vulture: i love emotional people, you're my next purpose...do not replace your call...i replaced into once blocked by Banzi, Sanatan too, so what? i'm a critic of Saivism/Advaita, people have their personal personal critiques/alternatives and block others. Pity, many the following lose their costs many times. So, take it ordinary, yet no incorrect information:) Maddymax: "You be solid.", oh! it really is conditional ;) Excuse me, I take this question as a danger to air my perspectives..

If matter is finite, then how could the universe be infinite?
If outer space is a void (nothing), then how could it hold something? How could something be in nothing?
If a belief is not understanding, then how could a belief be believed?
