Really a STAR question!!
We do not question our own matters of faith..... by faith I do not just mean spiritual, any unshakable belief is faith.... for instance, all of us have the faith that the sun will rise everyday morning, that we can not live without food and breathing etc. etc.
Such unshakable beliefs are usually born out of repeatedly consistent experience.... it is extremely difficult to lead our lives without a number of these faiths. However, the cardinal truth is that only when when we question our faith that a scientific invention or revelation or even sublime enlightenment happens!!

Sex Fascination—The Disease of the Modern Age.
Sex is the overwhelming obsession of modern society. Sexual promiscuity is so unrelentingly stressed that anyone who does not appear to the highly interested in it is generally considered to be a crank. Social pressure induces people to try to maintain juvenile lustiness long after the sensual high of youth has subsided. Thus millions of people remain emotionally immature all their lives. It is a sick world.
Constant titillation of the senses, however, increasingly dulls the spirit. Thus, despite all the celluloid promises, people find themselves cheated of real happiness. In adolescence, when the senses appear to have unlimited power to invoke euphoric delights, happiness through sense enjoyment seems not only to be a distinct possibility, but the very meaning of life. But the pleasures of youth, as the poets lament, is but a fleeting frolic. The ability of the body to enjoy is like a water-laden sponge. At first, if you just pinch it, water gushes out. But as it is squeezed more and more, it gradually becomes difficult to get even a few drops of water from it.
Similarly, attempts for sexual enjoyment increasingly result in emptiness and frustration. Still, most people fail to recognize the limits of sexual enjoyment. Due to their misdirected education, they think that their lack of satisfaction with sex means there is something wrong in their approach to it. They may end up on a psychologist’s couch or reading some of the hundreds of books on “improved” sex life (Yoga for Sex, Tao for Sex, The Modern Woman’s Guide to Sex, A Doctor’s Sex Secrets, Diet for Better Sex, etc.). However, the harder they grope for pleasure, the more surely it eludes them. As they furiously try to force their bodies into giving them the happiness which they regard as a natural birthright, they may turn to frequent masturbation, increased promiscuity, pornography, varieties of perversity, and ultimately violence.
Actual civilization teaches its members to sublimate their sexual desires for higher, spiritual purposes. Modern civilization exploits people’s sexual cravings, makes a business out of it, and sends people to hell by the millions.
Seeing all this, the Vaisnavas are sorry. If only people could understand this simple fact: We are all eternal servants of Krsna. Our sexual desire is simply a perverted reflection of our heart’s deepest longings to love Krsna. If we just knew this we could all be happy. But in the darkness of the modern age it is very difficult to convince anyone that there is anything wrong with sex at all.

One of the major things I don't question is the value of the questioning spirit itself, and the existential capacity for questioning. To doubt such things would be self-contradictory and utterly pointless, since any sort of questioning presupposes such capacities. I can question my own substantiality as an experiencer, but I cannot question experience as such without falling into self-refutation. Beyond logic, I also accept certain things on faith, either because they seem self-evident to me, or because they simply seem right in some powerful intuitive way. But I do sometimes question my faith. I think it is important to be open to questioning one's faith. If the faith is valid in some ultimate sense, then questioning does not devalue the faith, but can actually deepen it. Anyone who is afraid to question their faith, is probably deluding themselves in some way. A belief that one is afraid to question is not an example of true faith, but is rather an example of a dogma embraced out of fear, ignorance, and spiritual laziness. To question one's faith in X does NOT mean to stop having faith in X. It is possible to have faith and still be open to questioning. Serious questioning presupposes a willingness to at least try to consider alternatives, it does not necessarily mean embracing those alternatives.
Now I want to briefly address Bhakta Corey's rant about "sex fascination". This appears to me to be an example of dogma. The capacity for questioning is valuable because it can help each of us find our own path. We do not all have to be on the same path. It is probably true that for some people "attempts for sexual enjoyment increasingly result in emptiness and frustration", but this is not true for everyone. For some people, sexuality is an expression of the divine. It is true that some people should be monogamous, but monogamy is not the best path for everyone. The same can be said for celibacy. Buddha listed sexual orgasm as one of the moments in life in which one is closest to enlightenment. Both Buddhism and Daoism stress the plurality of paths, and the need to personally explore one's own path by deeply questioning the surface appearances of life. I would agree that our most common social views of sexuality are poisonous, but what is poisonous is not "promiscuity", but rather the rampant social dogmatism surrounding sexual expression. A lot of people are slowly learning to accept diversity in terms of race, and somewhat it terms of religion, but a lot of people who consider themselves to be open-minded are still closed to the idea of erotic diversity. This is certainly something worthy of deep questioning. I do not assume that my own sexual preferences and lifestyle preferences are valid ones for everyone. I have faith in the value of social diversity. I don't typically question this faith, but I am opening to questioning it if I happen to come across good reasons to do so.
