if you believe in something why question it?

Of course! An unexamined life is rather dull.

I question everything.
Just because you believe in something doesn't make it reality. If you never take in new or all information to come to a more informed opinion or belief, you could be basing a belief off of a lie or bad information. Think of it this way - people used to believe the world was flat. If no one at any time questioned that, we might all still think that.

I always question and reevaluate what I believe when I come across new evidence. There have been times where I've been sure I was right about something only to find out later that I was wrong. Getting to the heart of things often takes time.

ALL THE TIME!!!!!!
I am human, I believe in God, but I also believe that our free will is put here for a reason. And questioning things just is a normal part of life, for me at least.
We were made to think, not just to mechanically live.

I question things before I believe in them

I don't believe in them until I recieve answers to the questions, therefore when I do believe in something there is no need to question it

Yes, and it's very liberating. I was a Christian up until about 3 months ago, and when I started asking the big questions (not piddly$hit ones like bible versions, etc.) Christianity no longer made any sense to me. Now I am a deist, and life is grand!!

All the time. Accept I'm not like the intellectually dishonest religious people - I don't have a problem with dropping my beliefs or worldview in favor of something that aligns better with reality.

Definitely. Only a fool never questions himself. All beliefs must be continually pounded against the rocks of reason and logic to determine their authenticity and accuracy.

Yes. A man in the Bible said to Jesus, "I believe Lord, help Thou mine unbelief." As humans we have to question, otherwise we'd be nothing but puppets. If God had wanted puppets He would have created us that way.

Yes, that is why I change my mind sometimes. I find new evidence against something I've believed to be true.
