Have you ever doubted anything that your religion says?

Question

just because of the fact that it seems unrealistic or impossible?

Answer 1

Good question, &...yes, I have!

Answer 2

I think I should have been a lawyer ... I can argue almost any point --- which means I'm great at causing "Doubt."

"Faith" is needed for almost every aspect of life. I have to have faith that the sun will rise tomorrow. If I didn't have this faith, well, I'd spend all night up hugging and kissing my love ones foregoing any sleep.

I have to have faith that "Man Landed on the Moon" (Neil Armstrong). Sure they have film about it ... but they also have film about Darth Vader and a planet being blown up. Some of the serious fanatic doubters say that the shadows of the moon and the astronauts indicate that the "Moon Landing" wasn't on the moon, but rather indicative of being shot in a Hollywood studio. I think they even found people to testify that the moon-walk was in fact filmed in the studio. These people are great doubters!!! (BTW, I do belive man walked on the moon ;o)

When I "Doubt" my religion, I do so with much love and I find a very patient religious person and just keep asking "Why" until I become at peace with what they are saying. This doesn't always happen overnight - and some issues I've had have taken many years.

Answer 3

Of course, humans tend to doubt the impossible as well as the obvious, its our nature, So yes, I'll have to say i have, but then its up to me to educate myself more deeply about the matter and not take anyone's word for good. Cause at the end of the day you can only trust you and your instincts.

Answer 4

I have Faith in Jesus Christ, not Religion. Religion is a man made attempt to understand God. I have never doubted God's Holy infallible Word that is all Truth. To doubt even part of His Word is to call him a liar. And that title is given to the one who deceives many by his deceitful lies--satan. God's Word does not have any bearing on whether I understand it or not. If I do not understand something, then it is my ignorance, not His Word that is causing a problem. But, the Holy Spirit that indwells me gives me understanding that my finite human mind could not comprehend. Thanks be to Jesus!!

Answer 5

Yes. And that is why I do not follow religion . I visit different churches and I like the best the ones that are teaching the literal truth of the Bible.

Answer 6

I probably doubt everything that religion has taught me. Not that I disagree with everything they say but I need to learn things for myself so I don't feel like a tool.

Answer 7

I went to many churches(all protestant) thru out my life and doubted all of their teachings very much, never felt God with in their churches, the preachers were all hypocrites and liars(Icaught them in many lies) and just gave up going to church and followed my own path for about 20 years. I recently(in December 2006)became a memeber of the Catholic Church and have found my home in Christ.

Answer 8

Yes I have doubted my beliefs and actually worry about those who don't at some time in their life. Many times it is facing the doubts and working through them my beliefs became stronger and more refined. I have friends of dissimilar beliefs and by being with them and just discussing our beliefs it helps to clarify my beliefs ( iron sharpens iron)

Answer 9

i have had some doubts before, but i've never thought it was unrealistic or impossible.

Answer 10

As a little girl I doubted a lot of things. For example, I have never believed in purgatory.

Answer 11

Yes I have doubts. Mainly cos I don't trust people and don't follow blindly. I want to find the truth myself. I also find there are some contradictions and my understanding is still not full. I doubt it ever will. I believe in eternal progression.
