In my experience it isn't so much that the pastor wants to avoid questions since as Bart Ehrman pointed out most pastors have been exposed to the questions in seminary and already have very shaky to nonexistent faith. It is just that they will loose their livelihood if they admit their troubles so they prefer to live a lie. They just don't want to have their bread and butter exposed to the same questions thereby losing their meal ticket.
