If you build blindly on weak foundations eventually it will collapse and fail. You need to examine and possibly strengthen or rebuild the foundations first before you can build succesfully.

Building is better most of the time- if many people come together, their ideas could do pretty much everything (if they got along). Some ideas seem ridiculous at the time they are suggested, then come up as being brilliant a few years later. So breaking ideas down isn't really a good idea, no matter what you think of them.

I investigate the ideas of others. Then depending on if it is truth, I build with it, not on it. And I don't try to break down those that don't have truth. I just don't build with them. How do I know if it's truth? If it follows the teachings to treat others as you would be treated. Love God above all others.

It all depends on whether their ideas are based on fact or something they've deduced themselves and done it in a stupid way and just trying to get others to be stupid with them. I don't enjoy being stupid in any sense of the word. I choose to think for myself and make my own stupid deduction until someone comes along and proves me wrong. Notice I said proves. God is real my friends and this I know for a fact. I was in a coma for 4 weeks and I can tell you God is real. There is not a man alive that could even have a tiny chance of proving otherwise to me. There are facts and reality and then there is foolishness. I found the difference.

This question is two edged. Building on an idea requires that you believe that idea to be correct and to be worthy of your efforts and time to enhance it. To be sure that an idea is worthy one must first, break it down. Examine the idea and research its validity. One must make a decision to support or reject an idea based on the validity of an idea.

Depends on the idea, if its really dumb, like most religions, I tend to shoot it down! The Bible, Koran, Torah, Sutra, are only so thick, and most of the concepts are very compatible with each other, so I have considered them, at length. The difference with myself and somebody who comes here to talk about evolution, and creation, is that I have considered both, scientifically, thus have made an educated choice.
Many on this site will shoot down an idea without even examining it to see if it is clever or dumb. Unfortunately, the followers of most religions fall into this category.

Why should anyone want to breakl other people's ideas down. It suggests a marked lack of confidence in one's own. If you have to knock someone else's views to bolster your own, you are on very shaky ground
But, on the other hand, not all other views may be seen as worth building on either.
The choice you offer is not the only option.

I break them down first to examine them, and if I agree with them I will build on them.

What do you mean by "break them down" ? If you mean do I belittle them & try to destroy them, then I hope I do not. If you mean do I break them down into their components & examine the assumptions they depend upon, then I hope I do break them down before building on or with them.

I do build on them if they are worthy, otherwise I will break them down to expose their weakness to everybody.
