...Especially in questions where they make no sense?

Like Sawyer, I have asked this question before. The number of 'Jesus' responses I got were overwhelming. I too made it clear that "people you haven't met" (like Jesus) weren't included in the question. I am happy that you love Jesus! Wonderful. But why not answer the actual question? Some of you may feel you 'know' Jesus but none of you have actually met him.
Is it because some people are afraid that they might be wrong about their religion? Is it because they don't trust their own ideas? I believe it has become a defense mechanism.

Not the question, Fireball. The responses. The repeat of answers that had nothing whatsoever to do with the question in the first place. Kind of like this one.

Thank you, Story Junkie, for your lovely response and Bonsai Boy, for your wit. I appreciate your honesty and your ability to empathize.
Rockstar - Please read the question before you respond. I said the answers to MY question were overwhelming, not Sawyer's. What is really overwhelming is how many people feel the need to answer such a question with an unrelated answer.
HEVN BD - Oh, well that changes it all! I can see you're sure just by your title! Again, someone you never MET, dear.

First let me give you my personal testimony and quote some unrelated biblical texts.
No,seriously, I agree...I usually do attempt to answer the "heart" of the question by discerning what the questioner is really asking,which can be a challange at times.
Of course as my nature dictates,I also throw in a bit of humor now and then,when applicable.

I don't know Cookie. Maybe they have. It wouldn't surprise me, considering He is not dead, but Living. But perhaps the loneliest people on Earth have only Him, and in this, you should see within the stillness of your heart, a child clutching a teddy-bear in a dark room, and wanting so much more that could not be given.

Out of 24 answers, 6 were 'Jesus'.
Six. That doesn't qualify as "overwhelming".
Lighten up. Get some thicker skin.
*Edit* Lighten up.

Why keep asking when you don't want to hear the answers. Christianity is ' Not " about human ideas or human feelings. That's your kinds theology! We are not afraid that we are wrong. Ya'll are petrified that we are right, and you should be scared.

for christians, it is a sin to put anyone above jesus, that's why they say jesus. jesus is in their heart, when in all reality, their spouse or child is. but to put down jesus is just saving face ya know?
