If I may answer as well -
Judaism is all about asking questions, we've been doing so for thousands of years and it is seen many times in the Hebrew bible as well (Abraham and Moses for examples).
No, we are not afraid to ask questions.
And you will probably find many answers.
Not that any or all are right or wrong.
Of course there are some within Judaism that may not ask as much or may consider some questions off limits. But most to my knowledge encourage it. When I attended Torah classes, the Rabbi used to ask us what our interpretation of the verses were. Of course almost 100% of our answers (and questions) were already asked or commented on. The sages of long ago spent most of their time trying to decipher the meaning of Torah and it still continues to this day (and almost certainly in the future as well).
searchinmyroots, I always appreciate your answer!
Yet it causes sadness over all the good we have missed by intentionally or unknowingly ignoring Judaism.
