I don't think it really matters what we ask them, we'll get the same "you're wrong" bullshit. Incidentally, I just found out my account there was banned from posting for using them in a bit of an experiment.

Do you eat shellfish?
actually the more i think about it there are many questions i want to ask. but i am not going to dwell too much mainly because it is in good fun. Besides any answer will be some kind of circular logic.

I got one! If God knows every choice we're going to make in our whole lives, how do we have free will?

From that thread:
Lol. That's very telling.
I guess I would ask: Why do you pick and choose which science to trust and which to dismiss as a conspiracy to destroy Christianity?

Why exactly do you hate gay people who've never done anything to you?
Why are you so scared of atheists and Muslims?

Banana and Lazy, yours are easy
"Why do you pick and choose which science to trust and which to dismiss as a conspiracy to destroy Christianity? "
Because there are atheist scientists and christian scientists, obviously the Atheist ones are trying to destroy true christians. So whatever they come up with is just skewed facts
"Why exactly do you hate gay people who've never done anything to you?" Because the bible says fag is a sin.
"Why are you so scared of atheists and Muslims?" Because they're trying to take away our religion and our freedoms

Why have Christians, throughout history, waged wars in the name of a man who preached peace and love?

I guess another one would be:
Why have so many of you told me you aren't angry with me when you are red in the face and fuming with anger, and tell me you love me as God's creation when you obviously hate me for everything I stand for?
Body language doesn't lie, so why do you?
This usually happens at the end of a religious discussion. You can just TELL they want to rip your throat out, but they claim that as Christians they are incapable of being angry. What a joke!

LOL. They IP-banned me, so I grabbed a proxy and checked that thread out. Wow. If I could ask one question of the RR crowd, it would be where they got those drugs they’re obviously using.

Why do you refuse to take your medication?

Of course. Shellfish wasn't permitted under Leviticus. Those are the OT laws, we do not live under OT laws, we live in the age of grace and have since the resurrection. Christ did away with many of the old laws. It should also be mentioned that they didn't have refrigeration in those days and eating shellfish shipped over great distances was a risky proposition. I got one! If God knows every choice we're going to make in our whole lives, how do we have free will? God exists outside of time, so He sees everything past, present and future. You are doing what you want to do and He has given you the free will to do it without intervention. He observes you, but He doesn't control you. That's the difference. I guess I would ask: Why do you pick and choose which science to trust and which to dismiss as a conspiracy to destroy Christianity? If you are referring to Darwinism, it was good science in Darwin's time but it's crap now. We know it's impossible for a single cell to morph into a living creature because modern science has shown just how specialized cells are, they are not the generic building blocks Darwin proposed. We also know that there is no evidence that any living thing has ever morphed into a different living thing with different DNA. Darwinism is in serious need of reevaluation. Why exactly do you hate gay people who've never done anything to you? Why are you so scared of atheists and Muslims? I don't hate gay people, I don't hate anyone in fact. I've had gay friends and have worked with many gays through the years being in the design profession. All sin and fall short of the glory of God. You, me, all of us. The particular nature of the sin doesn't really matter. Part 2- I'm not scared of anyone either. Why would you think we're "scared" of you? I don't see that sentiment expressed on RR at all. Why have Christians, throughout history, waged wars in the name of a man who preached peace and love? Ah, now here is a worthy question! One that I wonder about myself. All I can say is there have been some seriously misguided leaders throughout history. The RCC in particular has advanced a platform of evil, but that's a subject for another time and place. Why have so many of you told me you aren't angry with me when you are red in the face and fuming with anger, and tell me you love me as God's creation when you obviously hate me for everything I stand for? This usually happens at the end of a religious discussion. You can just TELL they want to rip your throat out, but they claim that as Christians they are incapable of being angry. What a joke! There's nothing wrong with being angry, Christ got angry Himself sometimes (such as when he tossed all the vendor tables in the temple). A lot of Christians think they shouldn't ever get angry, but it is acceptable in the right time and place.

Here's mine.
Why do you refuse to educate yourself on the language and culture the original Biblical texts were written in? Wouldn't such understanding enable you to better understand the Bible?
And as a corollary to that...
Were you aware that the "Red Sea parting" was the result of a mistranslation of the Hebrew phrase "Yam Suph", meaning "Reed sea" or "sea of reeds"?
I've asked these questions to the fundie who inspired my thread on whether fundies and non-fundies could be friends; his response was that he didn't need such education to understand the Bible perfectly well; his response to my corollary question was that I was wrong because the Bible has never been mistranslated.
Edit: More amusingly, I was once in a chatroom where a fundie claimed with complete seriousness that the Bible was originally written in English, which was the language God spoke. I still haven't been able to figure out if that guy was a Poe or not.

Heh... I found this question amusing. Why do claim to be tolerant of everything except when someone loves Jesus? It's not loving Jesus we have a problem with. It's trying to force your beliefs and lifestyle choices on the rest of the country that pisses us off. I would ask why they're so opposed to hearing dissenting opinions that they ban anybody who doesn't join their circle jerk. Except I'd probably be more polite in my phrasing if I were actually asking them.
