Christians, do you eventually ignore the inane questions about your faith?

Question

or do you persist?

(notice also some dont know when a question is not directed to them)

sorry Sabrina, not falling for it

Answer 1

I answer questions that are directed to us that seem to be from people that are seeking God, or just want info on why we believe the way we believe. Most of time I ignore those that just are mocking God, and our belief. I will persist only if a person is generally seeking.

Answer 2

It does get tiresome. But then you realize that the questions are asked by children that have nothing better to do and they think it "cute" or "cool" to be anti-???. Rebelling against the "establishment" is what it was called in the 60s and 70s. Kinda like a toddler banging his spoon on his highchair for attention.

Most questions asked about Christianity here are not really questions, in fact they are statements with a "do you agree" or another leading statement at the end.

Very few serious questions here, too bad.

Answer 3

Yeah, pretty much. I might answer some questions that are blatantly full of lies, but mostly I just read them, roll my eyes, and move on. Same for off-topic, "pointless" questions, too.

I'm here to learn about other beliefs and share information about my own, not justify myself,my faith, or my religion.

Answer 4

Sorry, but you can't exclude non-Christians just by saying "Christians." This is a public forum and I'll answer your question if I feel like it.

What do you mean by inane? Is it "inane" to question religious dogma? If I ask why it was necessary for God to demand a blood "ransom" to forgive us our "sins," is that inane? It seems perfectly valid to me. Explain the mechanics of the Crucifixion as removing my personal responsibility for my own actions in life, so long as I profess belief in its efficacy to do so. And that's just an example.

What you're really asking with this inane question is "Why doesn't everybody just agree with us?" This is proved by the fact that Sabrina asked you to provide examples, and you replied "Not falling for it!" as if she was trying to "trick" you. No, she just needed something concrete to respond to - something less inane.

"I will only talk to people who are genuinely seeking" just means that you'll only talk to people who are ready to agree with you. Nice insulated life.

Answer 5

it depends. If I detect hostility or bigotry, I generally ignore such questions. However, if there is a clear but innocent misconception, I try to be polite and offer clarification.

Answer 6

No, We answer only those question asked by those who are honestly seeking answers without hatred and bias.
It does not good to answer questions asked by those who only want to mock and make fun of our faith out of blind hatred. Jesus spoke obout our trying to witness to that type of people, saying things about sowing seed to the swine.
Are words are wasted on them, they wont accept it, they only shake their heads at the answer regardless of what it is.
So why bother wasting time on fools.

Answer 7

I know where your going with this, but really concentrate on your personal relationship with Christ, and ask for your needs to be met, or wisdom. Go to the cross in all humility and ask, open your heart. God wants our hearts.

Answer 8

For the most part, yes.

Occasionally, I might answer in order to show how stupid the question really is.

Answer 9

I shun "profane and vain babblings", because such is commanded us in the Word of God...if you have any serious questions, I am more than happy to answer them...But remember to ask questions, and not just make fun of something that you do not fully understand.

Answer 10

Some "askers" like to hear the sound of their own voice.
They don't really want an answer.
