Why do people ask questions about which religion is right (with the implication that their religion is correct) when they should know that the question will end nowhere but each side mad at each other. You know, anger can lead to elevated blood pressure and heart disease! But seriously, do they really think they will prove a point by asking a question that has been attempted to be answered for thousands of years?

Well, there are two cases to consider. The first is the one you spoke of, when they already believe theirs is the right choice. The second is the case of genuine curiosity, wanting to know what fundamental truths support which argument. In the first case, it could be to try to convert others or simply to reassure onesself that the justifications for other faiths are invalid (although this is from a biased perspective). In the second case, asking a question like this would hopefully bring out strong arguments from many sides. It's interesting to weigh these points against one another.

Oddly enough, I think some do hope that they will convince others of the 'truth.' Some may just be trying to antagonize people of the 'incorrect religion.' Either way, they're hardly asking the question because they want to hear the answer.

You are referring to the brainwashed Bible and Koran fanatics. They all think they have the answers in their flawed, man-made books.....poor suckers!
