[QUOTE="oi_antz, post: 66241781, member: 261524"] Hi Chris, I just want to mention something about faith and doubt for you to think about. So doubt is essentially an idea that challenges what we believe. This means that there must be conflicting ideas which are pulling us in different directions. With belief, we have given the loyalty of our thoughts to one idea instead of another. (this is a critical flaw in the way some atheist's regard their position, but it doesn't have to be. An atheist does not believe that God is real, but they do have a positive belief that God is not real. Because they cannot prove their belief about God, they are basing their beliefs on an unproven assumption and therefore demonstrating faith according to St. Paul's definition). Doubt then, is the tendency for our thoughts to consider conflicting ideas, and to some degree, flirt with giving loyalty to them instead of the ideas we have chosen to call our belief. [/QUOTE]
