You keep repeating this assertion over and over. Where do you get your facts on this? Or is this just from personal observation?

The church I went to would frequently say that we weren't supposed to be swayed by secular views. They would say doubts were normal, and you should acknowledge them... but then you were always supposed to come back in the fold (i.e. not reject your beliefs). There's even scriptural support!

1 Corinthians 1:25
Quote:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Read: God is right, you are wrong, and no amount of thinking or contemplation will change that.


Romans 12:2
Quote:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Read: Don't be like the rest of the world. Only be like God.
