3 reasons for Christians to start questionng their faith

[Esquilax]

Thank you for answering, many want. I would disagree with you on understanding the scriptures. I know there is a certain amount that anyone can understand, and some as yourself will see more, however there is the spiritual that the Holy Spirit reveals to believers that unbelievers do not have revealed to them. Every time I read the scriptures I ask for God's discernment, a deeper understanding of His word.

So, basically what I said: if I don't believe in god, it's just because I don't get him. From an outside perspective, one might argue that the reason you're not an atheist is because you don't get secularism. Neither of these positions say anything about the truth of whether or not a god exists, just that the person employing them believes he's levelled up his understanding, in a way.

I spend my time reading what I know is the truth, honestly a book on atheism or other secular works denying God would not change my mind, I do not stay away from them because they scare me, I read what is relevant for my life. About the only thing I read outside of Christianity are books on woodworking. The reason books against my beliefs do not scare me is this, I've already approached those questions in my life and answered them for myself. If I was afraid of someone else's beliefs that are contrary to mine do you think I would be here, many in my church were scared for me and others say they would not have the confidence to enter in such discussions. Just to let you know I did not come here to save anyone, that's God's work, I came here to strengthen my beliefs through the challenges on an atheist site. I have, praise God!

Honestly, reading things that challenge your beliefs is at least useful in terms of formulating counterarguments. You say you read only things you know as the truth, but you could still be wrong. Saying that just seals you into a little experiential bubble where you only read things that confirm your beliefs whether they're accurate or not. Undoubtedly that's very good for your faith, but not so good in terms of expanding your knowledge base.

Besides, some of them atheists really can write, too.
