You and I are alike in this, that we have for sure been confused about something and at some point had to ask a question. Sometimes nobody has the answer. Sometimes the person you ask lets you know that you are stupid for asking!
It's my intent to answer questions civilly, kindly, honestly. That is what I hope others will do for me when I ask.
"It’s important that young people learn how to question well. There’s a difference between mockers of truth and seekers of truth . . .
"Asking tough questions, in fact, is a sign that God made us in His image and likeness. He has built us this way. We’re expected not only to know truth but to discover it . . .
"If we pretend we’ve got all the answers, or that Christian faith is somehow nice and simple, they’ll either see right through it, or will embrace answers that will leave them vulnerable in the future. Even worse, they may pick up the wrong impression that Christianity cannot play with the intellectual “big boys.”
As C. S. Lewis wrote in “Mere Christianity”, “It is no good asking for simple religion. After all, real things are not simple.”
