Quote - This too is against the TOS. If you can't see that asking if Aliens should be required to accept Christ isn't someone's idea of taking a stick and poking it into an anthill, you're just willfully blind.
It does not really matter matter what motives were behind the boy asking "Why is the Emperor naked?". The important thing is that the question was asked!
Acrionx's question is a good one, because it forces people to think, to organise their ideas, to question their beliefs, and to argue out the consequences of each side of the case in their own minds. Thinking makes some people nervous, but just like physical exercise it is good for you, even if you don't always enjoy it at the time. The search for truth is nothing to fear. It is a good thing!
A true belief only benefits from being questioned, as in thinking about the question we may learn more about why the belief is true. On the other hand People who fear that their beliefs may be false, hate questions, because they are more interested in maintaining the belief, than in finding the truth.
