What makes a person bad?

[JonDarbyXIII]

Did you read my post? Or Alice's? Neither of us said it did.

I didn't say you had said that, though that is a common (although unfair) objection to theism. I agree with your statement; I was just pointing out that theists are not weak-minded because they have faith, no matter how we may see this as irrational. Perhaps, I was leading this off topic though.

There's nothing wrong with wavering or fence sitting. In my opinion, a great person will spend their whole life sitting on the fence only choosing one side or another when they're truly certain and have taken plenty of time to consider the options. Most of the time the fence is the smartest place to sit.

I'm still pondering this one--I hadn't really considered it that way.....

I think my objection would be to someone who is content in sitting on the fence. No, there is nothing wrong with holding out on a conclusion while continuing to analyze the evidence, but when you say they should be "truly certain," I think this is a stretch. I am confident and comfortable in my beliefs, but I don't think there is ever true certainty (though maybe you weren't necessarily referring to an 'ultimate' certainty as Christians refer to it---whatever that means).
