It's easier to ask a question to get the other guy to make a statement. Once he's made a statement, he can be made to feel as if he needs to defend it as is against all attacks. In other words, it's easier to make the other guy take a chance and stick his neck out, then attack him. After he has been slapped around, it's easy to imply that, because he appears to have "lost," the other guy's argument MUST be correct.

Instead of stating what you believe, that this may be associated with becoming a god. LDS seem to always ask a question (without revealing the destination doctrine) to get further commitment or better yet a agreement on some point. Sort of like leading down the primrose path step by step. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
