Would you add Prov 26:4-5 to the community guidelines for the Religion and Spirituality section of Y/A?

Question

Prov 26:4-5
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
KJV

Answer 1

Yes add it, and add a section for answers just for fools.

Answer 2

We make no answer similar to the fools because we are not to be like him. We are to answer a fool according to his folly, so the fool will not be wise in his own conceit.

Verse 11 says As a dog returns to his own vomit,
so a fool repeats his folly.

And I like verse 20
"Where there is no wood, the fire goes out;
And where there is not talebearer, strife ceases."

Yes - Add Prov. 26:4-5 to the community guidelines

Answer 3

Make up your mind. Should you or should you not "answer a fool according to his folly"?

Answer 4

There would be no dialog then, as christians believe that anyone who doesn't agree with them and their view of god is a fool. And the others believe from their actions and words alone that most christians are fools.

Answer 5

Well since this is a secular forum, that may not be a good idea.

Answer 6

Exactly.
