Is it wrong to question religion?

Answer 1

You should RUN, not walk, from any religious "leader" or group who expects you to check your brain at the door! For many, that may mean a period of doubt and distance from their faith; for many it does not. But in both cases, the faith that remains is much more than memorized ignorance and far stronger than the untested rote and dogma that preceded it!

Answer 2

NOT AT ALL!
I'm considered "religious" although I don't have a religion. I grew up in a religion, but I found a church where I am allowed to question it. You have to ask the right people though. If I ask 3 Bible-believing-Christ-followers a question, I will usually get the same answer. It's things like this that have validated the choice I made to give my life to Jesus.
It's just so cool! Lee Strobel was an atheist & an investigative journalist that set out to prove that Christ never existed and that the Bible wasn't valid. His wife was a Christian and he wanted to prove her wrong. He's written a book called "A Case For Christ". In the beginning of the book you can tell he's an atheist.
The more I question & research the existence of Noah's ark, etc, the more I see that there is geological evidence that the flood happened. It's kind of cool that the more I question my "religion" the stronger my faith is.
BTW I'm a scientist in the medical/chemistry field.

Answer 3

To question is never wrong, but the question must be asked of the right person. Do you go to a baker to ask about how to fix your car or the mechanic? The same is true with religion, you must go to the source, which is God, which is done through study, firstly, then prayer, although praying at anytime is always good.

Answer 4

I don't think it's wrong to question religion, because you should know all about what you believe in. For example, if in your religion, you aren't allowed to eat pork, you should question why that is, so that you understand it better, and appreciate your religion.

Answer 5

Wrong, of course Not. People's own religion has to be question sometime in their lives.

Answer 6

No, in my opinion it isn't. Who honestly knows what is up there when we leave this life? Follow what you think is right, do what you think is right, and (in my experience) always be aware of a higher power. Weither it be God, Allah, or a Cheetah...just acknowledge there is something there. None of us will know if you have to "follow a set of rules to get into heaven or stay out of hell" or if there is a heaven and hell, until we go. And how many people do you know who have been there and come back to tell you what to do to go to heaven? Question religion all you want. Its why God gave you a brain.

Answer 7

It is not wrong to question religion, it is how ever wrong to question the lord after he has shown you the truth. But you will not have any doubt that he has answered you when that happens.

Answer 8

Question it! What would be wrong would to blindly follow what some person or organization tells you. How about looking for some spirituality, instead of religion?

Answer 9

No it's not wrong - On the contrary, it's a duty. All religions are products of the human imagination, and we need to keep saying so until everyone can see it.

Answer 10

All you have to remember is the founders of all religions questioned thier religion; even the people who some religions are based off of questioned religion.

Muhammad, Jesus, Buddah, Noah, ect. all questioned religion. If they can then why can't you.
