"The strong tradition (commandment, actually) to study and probe and turn the torah over and over looking for new insights is very appealing to me. It says that there isn't one pat Answer, and when someone tells it to you you're done. It says that the mere process of engaging is meaningful, even though it's inefficient to have imperfect humans try to figure out stuff than an omnipotent God could just tell us. There are no (well, very few) stupid questions, and it's ok to ask 'why?'." -- [info] cellio, 2009-12-17

This, among other traits is, I think, one of the reasons
Judaism & Jews are so disliked by the simple minded. We
not only say "no" to them when they want to impose their
beliefs on us, but we encourage people to question.
