Can anybody say "itching" ears? Can anybody say "They cannot endure SOUND doctrines?"
Can anybody say that?
Anybody?

I mean to suggest that regardless of the logic and witness of the Holy Ghost testifying of the truth to their questions, the Christians Automatons chose the answer the best fits their "tradition."
Within the Gospel of Jesus Christ is an endless expanse of knowledge and growth, and I find it puzzling that the Christians would embrace a tradition that refuses to acknowledge this, such as the doctrine of Bible infallibility, or the idea that the way God works among his people today is different from the way he worked with them anciently.
They refuse to acknowledge the hand of Satan and his influences among mankind, since "nothing of God could ever be tampered with by Satan." This reasoniing is clearly flawed, yet Christian traditionalists embrace it anyway.
Sometimes I feel that through hard work and patience and enough reasoning, the Christians can be brought to this realization. But right when the lights shines, they revert back to their asinine tradition.

The "pat on the back". Though it does depend on the question... if they are specifically asking for Biblical instruction and they give the best answer to the one that actually answers the question, then it's not the "pat on the back". But the general questions like "Why do Atheists....." and then they give the best answer to another Christian who is only putting down Atheists, which in turn is just what the questioner wanted, then that is definitely a "pat on the back" for both of them.
Newman - have you ever looked up the word "edifying" in the dictionary? Here, I'll help you....
to instruct or benefit, esp. morally or spiritually; uplift: religious paintings that edify the viewer.
Not ALL answers are "edifying"... don't generalize such things. They make you look like one of those that's just looking for the "pat on the back".
If you ask a question beginning with "Why do

Truth is truth wherever you find it.
The truth is found in all LDS Chapels all around this earth
And some truth is found in most Churches, but the LDS have all the truth, given us by the Lord.

It's hardly just the Christians who do this. Most people like to preach to the converted, as well as validate each others deluded belief systems.

Everyone gives Best Answer to the answer they want to hear; that would be the one they like the best. Though if you haven't learned by now that one person's "sound doctrine" is another's basest heresy, I'm not surprised you couldn't figure that out for yourself.

Because the truth hurts; as fellow Christians, you should never lie when helping someone,but to tell the truth. It's not there to hurt you, but help you.

Because those questions are not asked to get a genuine answer but to make a point.

I'll say it goes with the territory. "Belief" does not, by it's nature, encourage free thought or anything that challenges it.

Because they don't like to think progressively.
