jews/christians/muslims: How can you say it's acceptable to have doubts and ask questions if...?
I don't understand how you can say it's okay to question the faith, but then criticize the HUUUUGE numbers of people who, instead of having their doubts reassured for whatever reason and returning to the faith with a clearer understanding or whatever, go the other route and LEAVE the faith. That's not fair, you're telling people it's "okay" to be inquisitive (as if there was something wrong with that to begin with, BAH!) and then telling them they're wrong for happening to come to a different logical conclusion than you did. You might as well just say it's wrong to question the faith to begin with if it's gonna lead so many people "astray".
@Jemmaxx I ignored your bible quote, I've read enough of that damn book, I'm more interested in the original thoughts of people. You're trying to make it an issue of "strength and resolve in your faith". This is erroneous. We are talking about logical conclusions and how MORONIC it is to assume that everyone will come to the same conclusion on ANYthing. If you wanna call someone "weak" for coming to a different conclusion than you on matters of faith, then I'm gonna call you a mindless zealot who celebrates stubborn ignorance and closed-mindedness.
@ Chris, you just sound insane. Are you really rationalizing the creation of evil? Wow lol, some god you follow. And your god sounds pretty arrogant and "I told you so" for being "all about humility". lol No thanks, I'll keep going my own way. We tried god's way a long time ago, you know what we called it? The Dark Ages lol....

Judaism was built on questioning HaShem and the Torah. Questioning everything is a key part of being Jewish. But then again, blind faith is meaningless according to Judaism.

Questioning your faith and leaving your faith altogether are two completely different things. By questioning your faith and then coming back to it wholeheartedly is healthy. Your faith is strengthened and you have withstood the tests. If you leave the faith altogether it indicates that there was never any real resilience or strength there. You have been won over by the world and have abandoned God. This is never right.
'For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. '

The greatest thoughts of man are but foolishness to god. We can not comprehend the everlasting expansion of his wisdom and love with our tiny singular conscious minds. What i wanna know is did god know what he was doing when he created the devil? I think so. If your all powerful wouldn't you want someone you knew that was almost as powerful as you to keep you on your toes, keep you entertained. If you know that you do not know then that is the beginning of gods wisdom. He's all about humility. He gives us free will and lets us do our own thing just to show us that his will is the only way that we can live right. He's like "you've tried to live your way and look what it has brought you. Whenever you are fed up with your own ways of doing things I will be right here waiting for you. Ready to show yoy a different way."

It's normal to have doubt's especially in this godless world, you just have to remember that its Satan trying to make you stray from God.

The second part of "it's okay to be inquisitive" is "as long as you accept whatever answers you're given." Propaganda is propaganda whether in the form of a sermon or in answer to a question they've been asked a hundred times.
