When I was christian I did, and then I cast that religion aside. Now that I am Buddhist I question it everyday, and I am satisfied.

Yes, I think everyone does, and that is part of it. No one goes through life without any amount of uncertainty. But, the deeper one get into the process of "faith" and beliefe which are two different things, the more we realize there is a supernatual power at work. One that is not of your own, it is gentle, soft, and powerful it you let it be. Faith is something that you can take as far as you want, you are in control. There are times when you don't have as much control over life, such as death, and bad times in life, then I find I really need something greater than myself.

Sure we all have at one time or another. I question it some times but I'm reminded in God's Word and by the Holy Spirit of God that this is real and without it I know for a fact that I'd be dead. Why? Because without God or my faith in him I would have killed myself the first time successfully when I was tempted with suicide and the Holy Spirit wouldn't have been there to ask me to stop this self destructive behaviour. So God has litterally saved me countless times. I also see it like this when in doubt find out. Paul said in the New Testament some where in there about how we must daily work our our Salvation also our Faith in God daily with fear and trembling before our HOLY and righteous and jealous God. Jealous meaning that even though God gives all of us a choice and a free will He strongly desires us to be His and to follow His way. And why wouldn't He? He created us in His immage so of course he wants us to follow Him. It's all about Faith.

I remember once in my walk in faith that nothing was happening in my life positive. And it felt like a curse was over my life. At a certain point I would ask if God really cares for me.. Despite my trials, I still trusted in God and now in my life I am blessed. And because I held on to faith in God he just opened up heaven and poured out a blessing upon my life.
And what He has done for me he can do for you.

Yes. In times of trouble I have, but I always feel in the deep recesses of my mind that there is a higher power out there. Sometimes you ask yourself if it is all mass propaganda or brainwashing because there are so many religions out there. One thing I don't believe in is organized religion though. I don't go to church, although as a child our family went to church every Sunday and we learned the basics of right and wrong which I found helpful. I do believe in spirituality though, I just don't think I need someone else to tell me how to get access to God, or to tell me about heaven and hell because then I have to believe in Man, and we all know men are flawed. So, I don't subscribe to what a preacher says or does not say, I look into my OWN heart and soul and get the answers I need at any given moment for my daily inspiration. The Truth is available to all men and women and it is free. All one needs to do is ask to see the Truth. My favorite type of prayer is always to say, "God, please show me what I don't want to see." You have to look very deep within yourself and feel that pain of your ways and be brutally honest with yourself--everyday, not just on Sunday, church day. If you can take the truth about what is shown you, you will change, so if you can take it you can make it and you don't need another human being to tell you this. It does not have to be complicated. To me, that is the kind of prayer that God answers.

I think we all do at times, but that's normal. The hardest times are when we are actually going through a difficult time in our lives and we wonder why we are so unhappy and why can't faith pull us through? But in the end, we realize that while our faith may waiver, God never does. He was always and will always be there.

Who hasnt? In my opinion, if you DONT question your faith there is something wrong. How do you learn more about anything if you dont question and research it. If cant just listen to what people have told you your whole life. Faith is person thing and until you question and find faith for yourself.... you cannot claim it. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evience of things not seen. Everyone is always in search for the truth... happy searching

No, I have never questioned my faith...I have questioned religions where I have attended church services, but never questioned my own faith. I had faith long before I had knowledge of religion.

My faith in organised religion YES and I never went back. I follow my heart now, I live every day to the fullest, I am happier, I am answerable to no man, I am a NEW person.

Yep and I questioned my faith so much that I'm no longer Catholic. Instead I'm just a spiritual person who does not believe in ANY organized religion. Everyone is different and religion is VERY personal to you. Don't believe in something JUST because someone tells you to. You have to REALLY believe it for it to work.

I've never questioned my faith. I've questioned why I feel like God seems to not be listening at times. But then I remember He must know what He is doing.
