Why do some people feel the need to make up an answer to a religious question, when they could not possibly know the truth?

Question

E.g. In answer to the (admittedly rather silly) question, "Was Jesus a good dancer?", one Christian replied, "jesus did not dance". I realise there is no verse that recounts him dancing, but surely it would have been a perfectly normal and respectable thing for someone to do in that society.

Answer 1

Some sects teach that dancing is wrong. If a person answering that question believed that dancing is evil, it would logically follow that Jesus never danced.

Answer 2

Some people have three colors in their crayon box. There are three colors in the universe, they say. If you mention chartreuse they say it doesn't exist.

People who think they know everything are incapable of gaining further knowledge -- or even considering that it might exist.

Answer 3

Some people feel the need to support their assumptions.

Answer 4

Then why ask a question to which no one knows the truth? Ask silly questions, get silly answers!

Answer 5

The bible tells us that we were created in God's image. And we return the favor. We make our God and Savior in our own image. Heavy Sigh...

Answer 6

They don't realize they're wrong for doing so, because that is what they have been going with their whole lives. since they need a book to tell them what's right and wrong..and the book is full of stuff that's made up with no basis..they never knew it' wrong

Answer 7

When god, or Jesus is the point of the question, there is no other kind of answer.
It is make something up, or remain silent, and many of them aren't bright enough to do that. There are no facts with which to answer.

Answer 8

When you ask about that, I can understand why people think you are childish. And you can too I am sure.

Answer 9

But surely you only post to be annoying

Answer 10

and the song
"I am the lord of the dance"
would prove otherwise
