Why do believers generally avoid answering simple questions?
    #11950816 -

Is it because they know the answer will make their position untenable?

Why do you ask questions then state the answer?

He didn't state the answer. He asked a second question.

Would you mind providing an example?

There are thousands of examples. How about The End to Skepticism thread wherein a I asked the OP at least 3 times if he was skeptical of anything or wht Astrology was based on?

Or the Roulette & Astrology thread when it took 3 pages of teeth pulling to get a simple answer?

Or the Chakra thread...

Trying to pin down a believer is impossible because they believe because they believe and for no other reason.

The OC is no different. I've seen the OC avoid questions when answering them would undermine his position...

Could you provide us with any details of your study of "believers with untenable positions"?

What was the sample size?
What data collection methods did you use?
Did you include a quantitative survey?
What questions did you put on it?

Let that which doesn't matter truly not matter.

As Swami, I issued over 40 $10,000 Challenges based upon the exact wording of claimants of weird stuff on this forum.

I can spin stuff with my mind.

I can knock you over without touching you.

I can visit your house astrally.

:blah:

Not one took the next step except for Shroomism who reneged (yet claims to be an honest person), and still rambles to this day about about wacky shit, just not on this forum.

On every single astrology thread, I ask for its basis and never receive any sort of real answer.

Why was I barred for 28 years from M&P for challenging the UFO buffs there with basic logic and no forum rule violation? Because of fear that their fantasy house of cards would crumble. All I did was answer a direct question.

Think I am making this up? Read my last post as OC on M&P. I would link, but I am not allowed to search there.

You think all believers are same? Do you think all of them care about this thing called position.

Real answer! And how do you define real answer?

True, but I get called a skeptic and I rarely do that.
