A question that you believe you know the answer to, and specify that the only people that should answer should be people who by definition will agree with you?

Why not?
We Christians have everything to be excited about.......and we love sharing that excitement with other believers in the faith.
It may sound like a rhetorical question to everyone else.....but to us, it's encouraging.

C'mon, you just did the same thing, didn't you????? In another way????
Somehow, on Answers, we must come up with Qs.
Besides, was that really your Q to answer???? Aren't you NOT of that persuasion???
By the way, SOMETIMES I ask questions I know the answer to but want to see how others view my perspective from their point of view. However, MOSTLY my Qs are just looking for others' points of view and really don't have a predetermined answer I'm looking for. So I can't make a blanket statement agreement that most people do that.
WHY ASK....? Is about the shortest question I've come across yet....lol

In the case of the person asking the question, it would make no sense for a non-Christian to answer because those people obviously do not believe in that stuff. Within Christianity, there are different degrees of belief and this person I guess was taking a poll of some sort.

One of two reasons I reckon, either the person asking the question belongs to the same group he/ she is specifying and wants to compare notes, or as you said they need people agreeing with them.
I would never specify in my questions because I revel in the diversity of answers that I receive.

It is done all the time. If you want a positive response to a homosexual question, ask an athiest.

Some people have a strong need for affirmation in their thoughts and/or actions.
Lack of self-esteem and strong conviction when standing alone

Thats what most people do when they ask something! They already know the answer that they "want" to hear!

You spotted the Christians then!!!!!
They are absolutely terrified of anyone who does not believe as they do - what utterly weak faith they must have!!!
