to those saying they will get a biblical answer? What if the answer is beyond the bible? Would that not mean you must not know as much as those who are free to seek those answers out?

When I was in the Air Force and doing temporary duty in Saudi Arabia, the country put on a "host nation" weekend for us. We got to sample food, look at art, ride camels, and listen to a lecture from a college professor from Riyadh about Arab culture and Islam. I asked one of my supervisors if he was going to the lecture, (he was baptist), he said, "why should I? I already know the truth. I don't need to listen to anybody else." I lost all respect for him that day.
The Buddha instructed his followers to challenge everything, even his own teachings, to find the truth.

I am a Jesus follower. The Bible is full of examples of people questioning God about things. There is no forbidden knowledge and there are no forbidden questions for Jesus followers. My religion encourages questions. I firmly believe that we should know the reasons behind our faith - we should know why we believe what we believe and not follow blindly.

what religion does that?
God gave you a brain, and a mind to think for a reason.
I don't think he's offended by a few questions.
How could He expect a person to come to the knowledge of the truth if not by asking questions?
Um, any church or religion that refuses to allow you to ask questions sounds a little weird and controlling.
I ask whatever the bloody hell i want to.
And i'm doubtful that's offensive to God.
God gave you a brain ---- use it.

mine dose not forbid me knowledge, and I can ask any question I want, and I will get a Biblical answer (assuming relevant questions)
P.S.
if you have spiritual questions got to the Bible and your Pastor
if you need any other answers go to the appropriate place:
need a recipe go to a cookbook
need your car fixed got to a mechanic.... etc
would you ask you mechanic to act as your doctor, then why should I go to a lesser place for spiritual answers

The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth.
Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection. And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come.

There is no forbidden knowledge but we do follow a general rule about not teaching fools.

Some religions are more about controlling the masses than teaching them knowledge. Once people know too much, they can't be controlled.

Why or What?
Once again - in my religion (heathenism) there isn't any "forbidden" knowledge that is withheld from all but a "select few"
