…. read some of the deeper unanswered problems here, then a few days later go and ask their local priest what the ‘real’ answer is ?
Of course what then happens is he’s got no more idea either but rather than admit it, he pats them on the head and says the answer can found in Genesis verse xyz and we all live happily ever after safe in that knowledge.
That’s the way it goes. Believing ignorance is bliss.

For everyone who is confused, he is belittling people who are satisfied with answers that come from a book written over a thousand years ago and with answers that lead to a dead end or are contradicting. Yeah, be shocked some one is mocking your religion.

Are you kidding, because I have never heard of anyone, religious who has gone to their priest and ask question. It has always been the practice for the church, through its officials, to direct and control what followers should believe in.

LMAO!!! I learned not to ask such difficult questions a looooong time ago. But I know exactly what you’re talking about. They will either think I’m blasphemous (which ticks off my curiosity) or they will refer me to the Bible, chapter, verse, and will "somehow" neglect to pick up the book and go to Bible, chapter, verse, and… "Hello?!?! I had a question"… discuss. Basically you’re not going to get answers to all of your questions and people are for some strange reason afraid to say that they don’t have all of the answers!

What are you talking about?
Im christian, I hardly talk to any religous people as they all have their own views, I follow what the Bible teaches, but not literally, some people take it too literal and start doing things wrong. I try to understand it in the kindest, loving way. dont need a priest to tell me how to do that. however, the priest in my church is a very good, one, he’s straight forward with people and doesnt try to make everyone believe everyone who attends church will go to heaven, because not every christians will end up heaven.

I have no idea…sometimes I’ll go back to those and try to answer them, though.

almost everyone will ask someone higher but i think that depending on your religion you will get a real answer. personally i believe that if you are christian you will get a real answer and i feel that is you are of another religion you leader will give you a fake answer to cover for their lack of knowledge

You’re wrong about priests having no idea. before priests are allowed to become priests they have to study 21st century physics, maths and cosmology to at least degree level. Then they have to keep a straight face when they say the bible is true. Only then will they become priests.

this an interesting perspective, probably many do believe in this way, and yes many of the leaders testify in this manner

Most of the "religious believers" I know aren’t like that. But they’re, for the most part, radically different than majority of people on Yahoo Answers. I haven’t met a pastor who does not think there are questions s/he can never answer, and I’m sorry (and hugely frustrated) that you haven’t been exposed to people like that. There are religious people who do think deeply and intellectually, and who struggle with finding what they do and don’t believe and what they find they’re going to have to leave unanswered.

Is there a question there? You want a particular number or just a percentage? I don’t think it’s as high as you think it is simply because most of the questions aren’t that deep. there’s only so many times you can answer the God so powerful….yada yada boulder question.

In our congregation we do not have priests, because although few seem to have realised, when Jesus died there was no more need of sacrifices. If you look at the New Testament Christians had elders/overseers/bishops. The Lord Jesus Christ is our great high priest in heaven at the right hand of his Father.
So, we study the Scriptures, and have done all our lives. We consult the writings of those with good knowledge of their subjects. We go to see such artifacts as have been found concerning Biblical times, many of them in the British Museum. We visit Bible lands to try and get an understanding of the natural terrain in the accounts of events in Scripture. But most of all it is actually getting to read Scripture frequently and seeing the "echoes" where one Scripture is explained by another.
Unless we bother to read the Scriptures thoroughly for ourselves we will not know the truth of God. Every time I read them I seem to find another "gem" of understanding that my brain had slid over previously. It is a truly wonderful book.
