Freedom of speech and questioning

Whenever I ask a question: how can you prove the existence of soul? I get countered: how can you disprove it? I stopped the discussion then because asking a counter question is not answer to a question. I see lot of such counter questions in day-to-day life. Why people feel hard to say these simple words: "I don't know". Instead they defend it as if they own it. We are not founders of Hinduism, and there is no point in defending it. Just because we are born to Hindu family, we don't have right to defend it, instead we should dare to question your parents, why they believe what they believe. Some parents agree that their parent's told them to do so. Some try to defend it and scold you for questioning them. The freedom of speech stops from the home, why bother govt stopping you. The basis of science is questioning, which we already proved to the world we lack it: just see our scientific progress.

Are you questioning?

Do you believe that if I said I sold my two bed-room normal flat for two billion dollars? Do you believe that while I was walking on road, director Spielberg stopped by and asked me for acting in his next film, as a main character? You don't right, if I say. But you may possibly believe if your father says so. You will definitely believe if your father said these when you were kid. Here, we observe that anything that didn't fit to your rationality, you would tend to suspect, right? My question is, why do you think Jesus resurrected on third day, and two women saw it; he was then seen by his followers, and disappeared to heaven, fits into rationality? Is it because you father said so while you were kid walking miles with him to church every Sunday? To extend that, why don't you think the Jesus story was cooked-up? We all know Jews were going through hard times under high priests, at the time of Jesus. Is it not rational to think that the only way to overpower high priests is to have an historical incident, which of course the Jesus resurrection? Wasn't this recited the mob to rebel against the high priests, and threw them away?
