This is such a great idea, Jay! I've wanted to know more about you for a while now. :)

For starters...

• Have you ever been to any country in the Middle-Eastern region? If yes, then how was it like? And if no, then which country/countries in said region would you like to visit?

• From your previous posts, I think it's safe to assume that you know Hebrew. How fluent would you say that you are in it?

• What is your favorite Middle-Eastern food (if any)?

That's all for now, though more questions will likely come later.

I can't recall when this started, but I found your defense of Muslims increase over a period of time. Can you speak to this?

This may be a little personal, but I would be interested to know what your profession is or what it was.

Also, how did you become as well read as you are? I ask because you seem quite familiar with a variety of Christian writings, as well as the NT. So I am just curious how that all came to be.

I'd like to know your favourite book and I'm also curious to know what you like to do for fun (apart from posting here of course)

What makes you laugh? What are some of your favorite comedies?

What is one thing you have changed your mind about (or perhaps just shifted your perspective)?

What's your aversion to answering questions?

It much depends on the nature of the question, or - to be fare - on my perception of its intent.

There exists a class of questions which I view as disingenuous bait.
Why does your god want you to stone adulterers?
Why would your god want you to mutilate a baby?​
They tend to be demagogic reruns of flame-bait posed by people who have zero interested in an honest discussion.

There is another class of question which is little more than rhetorical ad hominem.
Why do Christians hate homosexuals?
Why do Muslims support terrorism?​

And then there are questions that strike me as lazy and unserious.

And, no doubt, sometimes my dismissal is simply arrogance and impatience.

On the other hand, I'm not sure that there are many who have taken as much time and effort to reference relevant scholarship and commentary over the years.

Probably not the answer you were looking for ...

Sorry Jay, I was simply making a joke that you hadn't answered anyone's questions in this thread so far. However, I do fully understand, agree with, and often echo your serious answer to my dimly humorous question.
