Questions

I have had many conversations in my life where people are asking questions which I find ridiculous.   The old saying that there is no such thing as a stupid question may be true, but some questions do show some insight into the person asking them.  And in the case of questions about the faith tend to really show a lack of understanding and a lack of knowledge.  This is not to say that the person asking the questions is stupid or somehow inferior to someone who has the knowledge and understanding.  It just means that they have not been invested in like they should have been.  It means that someone failed them. 

 

            I really think that we should strive to understand our own faith.  Not just so we can look smart or look like we have all the answers, but so that we can answer questions when asked and also so we can just know the basics of what we believe.  How can we believe something that we don’t even know? So ask questions, you have to start somewhere.
