I am very inquisitive, so I don't know.

Blanket statement I think.
It could be that believers were equally inquisitive and just made a different choice. I would actually look at the person's approach to learning and all the other things they do in life. It seems to me that most of the people on this forum (regardless of side) are actually quite dogmatic in their beliefs--and are not necessarily showing the traits of the inquisitive.

Objective and skeptical, yes. I'm not sure if you can generalize on being inquisitive as many great scientists in the past were not atheists.

It's hard to make a blanket statement one way or another. Personally, I can only speak for myself, and I happen to be an inquisitive Christian.

is being inquisitive only limited on the atheists? all people should be inquisitive atheists or not. but I can't speak for the fundamentalists.

Ya know, I'm Christian, but, man, I can sure identify with the atheists. Because you guys want substance over form. And what bigger "form" is there than religion, ya know?
I'm like that... I want substance... screw form. Form, without substance, is hollow.. a shell.
So, y'all (yes I'm from the south) KEEP looking for the substance!!! I'll be around to listen to you.... about what you find or don't find.

I don't know if thats necessarily a fair assesment to make. There are some inquisitive Christians out there, at least I can think of one.

I have to say that we are. We didn't settle for the standard stock apologetics, most of us questioned further and questioned from many different angles. We don't want superficial answers that can't be proved, we want to find out what's really real and provable. We ask questions so that we can get to those answers.

I believe so, they ask plenty of questions but do not know where to look for answers and neither listen to them when they are spoken.
However, they do not always know which questions to ask, either... or at least, not the truley good and important ones. Asking about the origins of the universe always sparks interest, but is it really that important to know? Let alone the fact it will never be revealed unless otherwise meant to in which case God would HAVE to exist because He would have been the only one witnessing it.
So it all depends on the atheist and what exactly it is they are looking for and whether or not they can handle what is told to them.

Nah, I'm just too lazy to take someone else's word. I've always got to find out the hard way...
