How to Answer Questions

Since people here need to hear this.

Now, a lot of people here seem to have no clue at all how to answer a simple question. Yeah, if there's three I'll give you a credit if you can answer them all, but miss one up in context.

Seriously, answer a question directly, read it twice, include the question with your answer, think twice, don't copy, I don't listen to crap, wake up, take a sip of a drink (any type), read a webcomic, read a blog article, and then see if the answer makes sense to the question.

If your answer is crap, I'm not forcing you to answer. Present your argument forcefully and believably, not like somebody unsure of what they believe. Worst come to worst, use links and Google to present your argument, at least reference if you cannot write it right, and wish to clarify.

There, now you should know how how to answer a question. I never knew how many bloggers failed high school/elementary school.

Bad Example:

What did we come from? Most likely, from space as the anceint earth (billions of years old, not thousands) was pelted by meteors and other space debris.
Did that start from nothing or does it have a cause? See above.
How can you say you have evidence to justify that? Yes, I can. Science bears this out. Can you? You have a book (bible) that was written by man, influenced by thousands of preceeding years from other 'gods' and 'beliefs'. It's a book... just a book. Full of hate for 'others' that aren't the 'Chosen People'. Are you aware of the Mitharas cult? It existed many years before jesus was born, and it was EXACTLY the 'virgin birth' story, with a kindly 'god' who also gets maryterd and rises after 3 days and goes to heaven.

Spell correctly. All the time. No excuses. Copy it and spell check it.

When the question asked is a deep one, be sure that the answer is equally deep and not superficial.

If the question is put into multiple parts, do not put "See Above". Odds are that there is another answer, and this is a failure.

Third, support with evidence. The third answer fails for a lack of evidence and reference.

Also, shall I point out that the Bible preaches no discrimination against any body, except those who reject God, whose own duty it is to punish them, not believers'.
