  What happens when you have DOUBTS?

  1. You ask questions and demand answers

  2. You investigate

  3. You don't go around acting like you are sure

  4. You are skeptical

  5. You are apt to test things

  What happens when you have zero DOUBT?

  1. You become annoyed when others question you

  2. You double-down

  3. You accept without question

  4. You expect others to treat you like you KNOW.

  5. You pity those who doubt

  With the above in mind, doesn't it become easy to see why fundamentalist religion decries DOUBTING

  and demands complete Faith and Loyalty in what they teach you?

  Does SCIENCE come from skepticism, testing, and inquiry? Yes. Science is a method of testing by inquiry and experiment.

  Does FAITH come from acting like you know and pitying those who doubt? Yes. Religion sneers at doubt and ends up with talking snakes,

  invisible persons and blood sacrifice as the highest form of love.

  Yep, sounds like my life currently. I ask questions and my wife sneers at me for it.

  Thanks for the thread Terry. A thought provoking alternative to dub TV.

  Terry, each point you raised on doubt is evidence that such refusal to doubt is in fact an illness.

  People afraid to doubt are unable to debate in constructive dialoge. They do not come straight to the point in conversations but try to come in through the back door and rarely stay on topic.

  Just my observation of myself in my witness days. Glad those days seem so long ago now. Of that i am " Not Doubting at All....."
