Are these FQs - Frequently Asked Questions - really Futile Questions? An invite for serious & loud thinking.?
A valuable contact of mine has pointed out to me that questions about Christ's birth & His historicity, Mother Mary's virgin status, Satan & the Devil's relationship with the Father-in-Heaven, Atheists' standing & belief and questions about Christianity's full fledged efforts at conversion etc. etc. are 'Futile Questions'. for the answers lead/get us no where. On being confronted by questions on such-like topics of interest, many among us have a field day entertaining each other with punning our way with words, while the remaining participating friends do put in an effort to delve deep within the truths of our scriptures and, at times, do their best to throw more light & quide us with their fresh interpretations. However, it goes without saying that most of what is churned out is the same old hash that counts up to nothing much, as these topics invite answers in tune with the proverbial chicken & egg or spirituality & religion. At the same time, it should not be denied that while these FQs (or Futile Questiions if I too may call them so) may not fully stand out as really investigative questions, but they are highly penetrative every-day asked questions, that are armed with missile-like pin-pricks which are aimed both ways. We cannot emphatically deny that these subjects & topics repeatedly agitate our conscious mind? That again and again, these questions crop up in our vision because we ARE actually disturbed by certain elements of history even though most of the equations & surmises we arrive at are illogical and wrong? In a way, the perpetual presence of these FQs is a gently reminder to our thinker-friends to always appeal for clearer attempts at interpretations of our scriptures. These FQs are very much alive & kicking. The need of the hour, day & night, is to put in our honest & sincere efforts at ironing out the deeply embossed religious wrinkles.
