Do people in positions of authority like to have their decisions questioned? Especially if the one in authority knows for certain they are right? God feels the very same way.

When I was in the military, I was taught not to question orders that were given by my superiors. That is because as leaders they were more experienced and knowing than myself. It was for my safety and benefit as well as for the safety and benefit of others that may have been in combat with me.

As far as your "Don't you dare question" mindset, it can be dangerous. Those who are open and honest do not mind being questioned. I encourage people to question and challenge me. But I'm not God. I have neither His experience or knowledge.
