There is more to life than what any of our senses can ever reveal, we are life itself, we are all connected to everything there is. To be aware of this connection and to even experience this connection is to truly live, to live outside of this connection is to live your life in fear, this fear is what questions everything, and because of this questioning of everything you never truly live.
You kind of lost me after saying that there's more to life than what our senses reveal. While I agree with that, I can't say questioning things keeps us from living. I would expect the exact opposite. How do you keep from becoming stagnant if you don't question everything?
Of course its good to question, but not to spend your whole life questioning, some things cannot be answered such as god, or no god. To truly awaken in this world is to drop all questions and let life be what it is, let it flow, if you believe there isn't a god then believe it, don't go through your life trying to prove you are right, if you believe its not so, then believe that and move on with the flow. Questions mean doubt, the only answer you need to know is that you and everyone and everything is ONE, try to realize this first and the rest will that care of itself. This is Buddhism.
