That's kind of a loaded question. Why don't you explain your premise a bit??

 

[Saudus]

Ok.

I'm an agnostic (which you can see /\ ).
And the definition of that is don't knowing, doubting.
Is that in general unacceptable by the people in your churches etc?
I live in Sweden and it's kind of hard to get an impression of what christians think, since 90&#37; are atheistic, 8% aer other and 2% are christians >.<...

Any belief that has not reasonable basis has little to distinguish it from mere credulity or even superstition. You need some well presented information for each of your major queries.

Ehh, I didn't get all of that... Do you mean that I doubt due to lack of "evidence" of god?

Because I don't want agnosticism explained, I want to know your opinion on thinking such thoughts.

Simple answer:
To some yes, to others not at all.

Heresy is rejecting an established belief in a religion, or adopting beliefs outside what that particular religion deems acceptable.

Based on this, heresy is a point of view.

To Catholics, I am a heretic, to Methodists, Catholics are heretics. It's not exactly a derogatory term, its just a point of view from one side looking at another.

God understands your questions and why you have them. That does not constitute heresy. But he also requires you to be accountable for the reasons you hold to and the efforts you have made to reach as fully as possible an understanding of your views against belief in Him in the face of reasoned responses from a Christian perspective. Simply, you follow the same process as any rational person would to establish 'the facts' in any legal, historical or scientific or logical situation.

Even the most grounded in Christ have doubted at some point. I was taught a basic premise of apologetics is a faith that cannot be questioned is not worth having. If one never doubted , how would they ever explain why they believe to those who don't? This is my outlook on the subject. I hope it helped some. But I will say one thing to you, the Word tells us t hat even creation speaks of the existence of God , so that man is without excuse. Feel free to Pm me if you need to talk further.

We all have doubts... if there was absolute proof, then faith would be worthless. Since there isn't, everyone will have times when they question, or even reject God totally.
Even Christ's closest friends, who walked with Him for three years, had doubts... Peter denied Him, Thomas demanded more proof. And yet, most of these went on to die for their faith.
There is nothing wrong with honest questioning.. it is worth more to God, I think, than a blind acceptance. Just remain open, ask God, if He is real, to prove Himself to you.. and wait. He will answer

Yes! No, joking. Everybody doubts God's existence - except for God, of course, and who knows - point being that... uhm, no.

But, uh, just open your eyes and look around. You think maybe everything is YOUR dream or YOUR creation?

No.

It is God's. This is what we call reality slapping in the face.
