That deeply profound statement you made a few minutes ago.....is the converse true? If I never questioned my faith would it be because I am a very nice person?  You are not nice either way and you know it.  I'm not? Wow. That's a bummer. I guess you'll just have to turn me into a jack-in-the-box and put me in the cornfield, won't you?  |

Without doubt, is it still faith?

Anyone who posts that lame George Michael song can go dunk their head in the toilet. Indeed questioned my faith one too many times didn't like the answers I found and became an atheist. |

Anyone who posts that lame George Michael song can go dunk their head in the toilet. I question my faith every day because I question everything every day. It's what I do. From the first thing early in the morning I say, "Okay, it's time to question stuff, let's go." It's exciting, fun, and on good days productive. If you don't question your faith it could be an accident of birth or something. That isn't necessarily "strong" faith. In fact it might be brittle and shatter on the first challenge. |

Pretty much this. Although in my case it wasn't so much that I didn't like the answers, but more so that the answers didn't actually make sense and were inconsistent with reason. |

All of existence is inconsistent with reason. |

Yes. I tend to do so on a losing streak at poker.

All of existence is inconsistent with reason. I disagree. In accordance with the principle of "Cogito, ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am), the fact that we exist (and are aware of our existence) is what makes it by definition "reasonable". On the other hand, declaring the existence of something that we were unaware of (like God) would be unreasonable. |

Hell yeah.
I was 'Roman Catholic' until I was about 9 years old. At that point I finally figured out that it was all a bunch of horseshit and that the priest had no true spiritual authority.

Anybody who says no, should not be trusted as they have never been tested by our lord and savior Anu the true, God of heaven and the sky, lord of constellations, and father of the gods

I don't think I've ever had a faith.
I have various beliefs about the world, and I always try to challenge my own beliefs. I've changed my mind about important topics quite often.
