Actually yes.When I first came to this site,I considered myself agnostic.I asked many questions with regard to religion and belief and from the answers I received,I am now a confirmed atheist.
Amongst other things the answers showed me how hypocritical and inconsistent religious belief is.

Yes, I am re-reading all of W. Cleon Skousen's books on the Bible and have finally got brave enough to tackle Hugh Nibley's commentaries on the Book of Mormon. The more I study, the more I am coming to understand I am in the right place the first time, but I am also coming to appreciate how other people think and to appreciate where they're coming from as well. Even looking up concerns from other people has made me discover that every question has an answer, but you have to have an open mind to receive an answer.

The only thing that motivates my faith in Christ is God's Word. This site provides some opportunties to think about tough questions and try and provide a good answer. It also provides a good forum on where people stand on issues and how they think.

A lot of times it makes me believe that there are a lot of people out there who's faith is so much more deeper than mine.

I am saddened that many people do not have any knowledge in their own religions, and I am motivated to educate myself more. This question has prompted me to quit screwing around on Yahoo and finish my reading for my Religion class for tomorrow!

Maybe not examine my faith but definitely gives one the opportunity to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and to think.

Yes. And however open-minded I try to be, I always come back to my original convictions, every time with a stronger conviction.
