No I always choose the ones that I don't agree with. That's my whole purpose here. I ask questions that I don't mean or understand, and then I choose the answer that is the most confusing and inaccurate.

Probably. Usually if a person doesn't go along with what I feel to be true, it doesn't ring true and therefore cannot be catagorized as a "best answer". Is that bias? Sure but I think that is just they way it is. For example....If I ask, what is the way to see the true God...I'm a christian. If someone says, "Stand on your head and chew gum while reciting the 10 commandments and you will get to heaven"..then I can't really call it the "best answer" according to me. I don't think it's best because I don't believe that. However, if someone asks, "What is the best way to pray" or something more subjective...then I may pick an answer that I hadn't thought of before but makes a good point no matter if that person agrees with my belief system completely or not. The mere fact that I provoked thought, to me, means it has merit and I may pick that answer as "best". We all represent ourselves in this forum.

Depends on the nature of the question. If I ask an academic question about Islam for example, then I will try to choose the best answer from a Muslim whether I agree or not. If it is a lighthearted question, I'll choose the one that made me laugh. If there are just no good answers, then I will also choose the one that made me laugh or brought up a good point. It all depends.

since I ask questions that either disagree with my point of view (to learn something) or am looking for an answer to a question, I don't often ask the "pat me on the back" questions. I choose an answer that best fits the question and have picked answers that I disagree with, but do answer the question I asked.
I have seen the "pat me on the back" questions where the asker doesn't care what the answer is as long as the person agrees with them. i think these are wrong and you learn nothing.

Some people here clearly do. Smart alecs are always asking questions that are designed to make Christians look bad, but several people who visit here are able to come up with valid detailed points that should interfere with the askers point of view.
Do they pick the ones with a valid point? No they pick the smart alec answer.

Definately not. I usually ask argumentative questions and choose the one that I think does the best at articulatiing their point of view, regardless of what it is. I don't need someone to pat me on the back. I usually see comments that talk negatively about religion and the narrow-mindedness of believers picking someone else who thinks the same way as them. I find that humorus.

Sometimes I pick ones who agree, sometimes I pick ones who disagree entirely. On a serious question, I'm most likely to pick the answer that presents something new, or inspires the next question. On a silly question, of course it's all about who makes me laugh out loud.

two mutually exclusive answers cannot be true at the same time and in the same sense... (like: I am here and I am not here)
you can choose whatever you want to believe, but the REALITY will not change! you may choose not to believe in gravity and fall to death.... be careful.
Nothing about the Christianity is contradictive. There are alogical mysteries but there is nothing illogical (that is not ligical, or contradictory).

Not really, most times I pick an answer that hits me right into my idealistic head - usually pick an atheist's response. They do have some very intelligent arguments.
But then again, just like ''The Grit'' said - there are days when I want to be agreed with :)

Not always. But sometimes, I don't get well thought out answers that disagree with me.
And some days, I just want to be agreed with. :)
