several weeks ago we had a big discussion about doubt and what we all go through and what we think about it. I am reading a book right now called "life of Pi" recomended by kyle prather and in this book he addressed doubt in a neat way and I just wanted to share it
"I'll be honest about it. It is not atheist who get stuck in my craw, but agnostics. Doubt is useful for a while. We must all pass though the garden of Gethsemane. If Christ played with doubt, do must we. If Christ spent an anguished night in prayer, if He burst out from the Cross, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' then surely we are also permitted doubt. But we must move on. To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation."
