The Danger of Asking The Tough Questions

What do we do when we question and find out what we have been taught about faith, religion or God is wrong? How can we change? Does it come easy? What can be the consequences of changing thought and practice once we have discovered something wrong with our views on faith, religion or God? What if it was something that would go against your families beliefs and practices? Is there a certain danger in asking the questions? Have you ever expereinced any of this in your life and faith? What did it do for you as a person? Your faith? Is there a danger of your friends, family, church turning on you for questioning and or changing a view or idea or practice? Have you had that happen? What did you do? How did you handle it?

There is more danger in NOT asking the tough questions. Unthinking acceptance leads to complacency which leads to spiritual death... Constantly re-evaluating my beliefs has made for an immeasurab;e richness and depth to my spiritual walk with Jesus.

I have lost many friends, communication with some family memebers and made to feel guilty by church pastors for changing my stance and thoughts on homosexuality after asking questions. So, yes there is a danger. I wouldn't change anything though. I think we must question despite the danger of loosing friends and support from those we love. I will continue to question all things because it has made me a better person.

I agree with Wendy. It is alot more dangerous in not asking the tough questions. Blind leading the blind idea that Jesus mentioned.

I have lost friends over the questions that I've asked and belief's that I've changed but I don't care. If people can love me for me then I really don't give a damn.

I like your blind leading the blind comment. I agree if we don't ask the tough questions we will fall for anything.
