What was the worst question you have ever asked, that you recall?
eg: A question you asked about something, and then what you found out, was so repugnant, stupid, or something, that you REALLY regretted asking at all.
One time, at the private Catholic college I went to as an undergrad, I was having a civil argument with a seminary student on his perception of homosexual behavior as being a sin.
So, I played "devil's advocate" and said something like, that if he was to be consistent, then he would also have to believe that wives are to subservient to their husbands. I thought he would back pedal -- but instead, he said, yes, wives ought to be subservient!!
I regretted asking the "devil's advocate" question, since I found out that he was more conservative than I would have liked to know. I just found his answer incredulous.
