No, I don't mean challenge as in threaten. Rather do they sometimes cause you to question what you really think or believe about something? Do they cause you to go deeper in thought about a topic than you have before? I'm asking this because if you are having difficulty putting your thoughts to words then perhaps these questions are taking you somewhere you haven't been before in your thoughts. And this is a good thing. This is precisely why I engage in this way with others. When people talk about things like the meaning of life, I'm hoping someone says something I've never heard or thought of before because this provides me with a new idea that I should evaluate and perhaps incorporate into my own worldview. I know this must come as a shock to you since you think that I'm narrow minded and rigid, but this is the truth. I was narrow minded and rigid back when I was an obedient Christian. But listening to others and thinking about what they said had an impact on me and led me to widen my worldview significantly.
