they won't answer my questions
they think you are trying to trap them
getting them to think should not be considered a trap
is thinking important?
as long as it is not overdone
what is the most important question?

why do we exist?
are you talking about meaning and purpose?
yes
how can we know anything about that?

What is dialogue?
Respectful talking and listening.
Be accountable for your own emotions. For example, say something like:
"I have trouble believing what you say because..." instead of firing back with "You Liar."
Or, instead of accusing another of being "crazy," "insane" or something additionally cruel or mocking, say something like:
What you are saying is making no sense to me."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Much of these communication skills should have been picked up by all of us from the dynamics of our own families when we were young.
If our families were showing a lack of respect, fairness and caring, then it will be difficult--but not impossible--to begin learning better habits of communication and problem-solving with others.

so why is dialogue so difficult?
they are all idiots and they are going to hell
who would want to talk to them?
that's why I just quote scripture
do you have software?
why do you need that?
it rearranges the verses in the bible so they are easier to understand
has it been inspired?
the software?
yeah

because they are mean
why are they mean?
I can only speculate
I love it when you speculate
they are not secure in their beliefs
why do you think that?
they should be happy
why?
wouldn't you be happy if you were sure you were saved?
I guess so
the last thing you need is somebody doubting you if you are not sure
is that why they tell you you're going to hell?
they might just call you an idiot or a liar
and then give you a neg rep?
to show you how happy they are
hmmmm
because they are mean

they hate catholics
you must be use to it
you never get use to hate
do you take it personally?
not from the ones who sound like parrots
parrots?
they are just repeating what they have been told
is that the way they promote their religion?
outside of hating catholics it is hard to tell what they believe
they also hate calvinists
that is not comforting
who do you hate?
liberals
why?
they kill babies
