Because you get all the viewpoints (even the tin-foil-hat variety) in the comments, not just the basic two ideas that everyone already believes. Occasionally you'll even hear from someone "on the inside" (of course, how do you ever really know that's not just a troll?).
I'd rather wade through the cesspit and be exposed to a lot of differing ideas than stay in the pristine chapel and hear only the approved gospel account.
