do religious people really believe?
#16
RE: do religious people really believe?
Doubt is also a good tool. We should be suspicious and test rather than blindly accept. Faith in anything is based on our best understanding of it.

We might come to trust that the chair we always use won't collapse under us. With God we can only rely on our correct understanding. Besides, it's written into Christianity to test for the truth. As it's a continual process rather than a one off choice, doubt and faith are major players.
