Why do we have the need to answer and post questions?

Question

Some of us moreso than others. Do you think you spend too much time here? How much time per day or week is too much?

Answer 1

If you have to ask, it's too much.

As the Firesign Theater album says: We're All Bozos on This Bus.

Answer 2

I find that for myself, I have enjoyed answering others' questions because it gives me a chance to practice explaining things. Often times we have a belief in something for which we can't explain it, if someone were to ask. It also gives the opportunity to explore some of the ideas more closely, which people have asked.
I personally don't spend too much time with it, just when it serves me to do so. And I think if the time you spend on here is interfering with your off-line life, then maybe that is "too much". However I think if you stay at home a lot, and you have nothing to do, maybe it is a nice way to spend your time. I mean anything can become and addiction. The internet is just one of those things.
I have a rule of thumb, however. I will go through what others have answered to see if anyone pretty much said what I would have; and if that is the case then I don't answer those.

Answer 3

For R&S: Fellowship. It is politically incorrect to have this conversation in most other areas of our society.

When I ask a question in Science, Physics, etc. It's laziness. I find the answer faster with someone's help....

Answer 4

Many are looking for the true and living God

Others are here to answer their questions.

Answer 5

Is that a spiritual or religious question. Sorry its rude to answer a question with a question isn't it.

Answer 6

People have an innate desire to be heard and to matter.
