I am a Christian, consider myself conservative, pentacostal, charismatic. I believe in free will, free thinking, what ever else you want to call it. It is not a "captial crime" as some would believe. The whole concept behind Christianity is Free Will. There is nothing wrong with questioning Christianity. The only way we can find answers IS by questioning. God doesn't want "blind faith", but faith based on what you know about God and what God has done and wants to do for you. The more we question, the more we learn, the more faith we have. When we question and are fully open to learn, God will teach us.

No.... Unfortunately a lot of Christianity is under the influence of Satan without knowing it.

I think some of the more "conservative" Christians may say that. I personally think questioning anything with an open, rational mind is a good idea. It's natural to want to get the facts, especially about something as personal as religion. There are some people, however, who sadly do not see it that way.

No. Even though anti-Christian bigots like a lot of those who have already posted here may claim otherwise, questioning things is what got a lot of us into Christianity in the first place. If you dont question where you are in the popcult, or the scientifical indoctrination a lot of the lemmings are in, you will never even get to Christianity.
Jesus encouraged his disciples to question things. The truth can stand up to questioning.
My question to you athiests is: Are you absolutely sure you arent guilty of the same narrow-mindedness you are always accusing Christians of? Most secularists I know of have never REALLY questioned evolution, their dogma of God's non-existence, and other points they have been indoctrinated in.
That is why they have to resort to name-calling and stereotyping like you see in these answers to cover the fact that they cant really defend their beliefs.

It depends. Alot of people I know think so. In fact a friend of mine asked a teacher if emo could be both a verb and a noun. She said that he was under the influence of me and than the school consular came and was questioning my about life and faith and that sort of crap.

Not at all, if so most of mother physics and mathematician will be at Satan's side, and we all know is not true because they are the most intelligent people in the face of the earth.

Doubt is a tool of Satan and is effective to a point on us all.
