I've answered many questions put to Mormons here, even quite a few of yours. The problem with some people is that they don't like the answers I give, so they wait a while and ask them again hoping to get an answer better to their liking, or at the very least try to prove that I flip flop on my stance. Others seem to ask the same ol' tired questions week after week, while still others aren't really looking for answers but are looking to stir up controversy. When the latter happens I stop answering their questions because no matter what I say they aren't here to get answers. Hence the term "anti". There are those who are not for the church, but aren't looking for the torches either - those I can usually deal with. People who don't care about the answer and are only out to "prove" that the church isn't true, those are the people I choose to ignore until their attitude changes.

I am not ashamed, and I do answer Mormon questions. The tougher, the better. I was a former Evangelical anti-Mormon campaigner, so I've used most of those tough questions myself. Check out my answers.

Who is ashamed of the Mormon views? What are the tough questions? Are your questions to the Christians? Briefly, from my Christian faith, I definitely am not ashamed of the Mormon view point, but hopeful that there is a willingness to search the Bible for the real truth. Mormons beliefs along with Book of Mormons hold people hostage from knowing Christ Jesus. It's all about works.
If the tough question is about salvation, here are facts that Christians believe in: Jesus is the Son of God (not a prophet), he was conceived by the VIRGIN Mary, Jesus sits at the right hand of God, the resurrection (Christ rose from the dead and arose), the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and Jesus said, "I am the truth, the way, and the life and no one cometh by the Father, but through me." See, it's tough if you refuse to seek. I hope this helps!

Well since this is an easy question, I guess I will answer it.
Please point out the tough questions the "Mormons" are not answering for you.

I can't find a tough question here to address. The main group of questions I avoid are those that seam to not be sincere questions. Those of a Troll nature, aside from that I am limited on the amount of time I can spend here. I do have a real life.

I will answer some and not answer others. The ones I answer are the ones that seem to me to be from people who are honestly wanting to know, and not from someone who seems like they are just trying to catch me in my words, or get into an argument, or just seem to be trying to convince me of how wrong I am.
I will freely admit that I do not know and completely understand all of the doctrines of the Church and I doubt that I ever will. I would be surprised to hear that anyone on this planet actually knows and understands all of the doctrine of the Church. Why? Because there is a lot to it. I think Christ said it best in the intercessory prayer recorded in John chapter 17 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
We do not believe that this life is not the result of some guy and his wife messing up God's plan. This life is part of God's plan we knew what we were going to be facing and chose to follow the plan that God had designed for us to be able to live with and progress eternally with him for eternity. Following that plan is something that requires a lifetime of devotion and effort, if you ever get to a point that you stop learning then you need to stop and figure out what you need to repent of.
In short the doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is to help all of mankind get to truly "know ... the only true God, and Jesus Christ", or in other words gain eternal life with God, and that will take a lot of work and that work is only able to be accomplished through the grace of Christ,

Why do you think all Mormons "evade tough questions"?
Sometimes the "questions" on here are only meant as attacks. Those questions aren't looking for answers. They are only looking to generate responses from people who will riddicule LDS beliefs. Those kind of "questions"...I won't answer.

De ja vu creeps me out, so I "evade" questions I've answered hundreds of times already.

It's not that Latter-day Saints are ashamed. People tend to shy away from questions they don't know how to answer well. What tough questions did you have in mind??

"tough question" is a relative term. What may seem tough to one person may be easy to another person.
People just answer questions they feel like answering. Maybe they don't like your questions. Maybe it has nothing to do with how tough they are.
