Yes, of course. But that's not what you said (nice try though). You said "faith," which by its definition does not allow for honest evaluation of the validity of faith itself. If by "continually questioning" your faith, which is your unsubstantiated or irrational convictions, it grows stronger, you have not asked yourself the proper questions. One a person might begin with is, "Why should I value faith over skepticism?" Or "Why value faith at all?"

Haha Smile honest to you is of course downright lie to me. But I don't mind you preaching to me Smile

One might educate oneself about what faith actually means in the Christian context before one pontificates about it.
