If You Could Ask God ONE QUESTION

Actually, thinking back on it. A lot of educated people do use that argument, though they may not be educated in what they need to be in order to understand any weaknesses it might have. Typically someone thought it was witty and used it in their presence or a fellow skeptic passed along the thought and since they couldn't disprove it on the fly, they decided to use it. Then considering that most Christians, lower income protestants which make up the majority, are generally not of the highest education and probably would not be able to combat the phrase either, they then would think that it was a perfect way to make their point quickly. Usually I see these people, as Tombi seems to have done, throwing the statement to the world, even if it is just to one person, as if to rid it of all deities.

 

 

Well, certain religious theologians had debated that question for several hundred years. After much study, the basic conclusion was that it was a silly question not worth an answer.

 

I'm not sure I ever met an uneducated "good" protestant. Everyone I ever met was well read and had a firm understanding of the bible from both scripture and various other theologians. A lot of the more conservative denominations have bible study where most members go regularly. There are not a lot of christians who activley study the bible and try to understand it. So it is silly and a waste of time to ask theological questions to someone who claims they are a christian but lacks the understanding behind it.
