I'm not talking about the 'irreverent humour' posts.
It seems that every time an honest question is asked that opens up new ideas, it gets deleted.

Bertrand Russel worded it a bit strongly, but I think he had a good point when he said;
"There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths. Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting. But he dares not face this thought! Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are disputed."

Yup. Tell me about it. Just trying to help out a friend and {poof} Y!A decides to delete it. Somehow those types of Q's get lumped in with the troll posts.

because fundies are the biggest censor minded crybabies, and anything that challenges their belief system or might actually get them to think on their own outside of their brainwashing needs to be swiftly removed or their slice of the afterlife will be removed from them!!!

The same reason Christian parents wont let their kids around a bunch of atheists. To keep away rational thought.

Not all of them are deleted. You can always reply and tell them that you do not agree.
We do not need so much of any new ideas that we need to be reminded of the Old ideas that are the same past, present and future = The Word of God = the Bible

The thing you need to understand is that people cannot handle things that contradict what they believe because it frightens them to death. Most people can't handle the truth.

For example?
Do you consider a question like, "Why do atheist have no morals?" to be an honest question?

The short answer is: because some people are incredibly thin-skinned and intolerant.

Difficult to answer such a question when we don't actually see those deleted.
