“In other words, a Christianity made up entirely of certainty is just a modernized version of Christianity” (source)
“After years of battling doubt, I can now say, ‘My name is Ben, and I’m a grateful doubt-aholic.’ Why? Because it was through doubt that I discovered real faith. It was through doubt that I discovered grace. It was through doubt that I gained a deeper respect for friends who do not believe in God and for those who see Him in a completely different way.” (source)
“Fundamentalist Christians sell certainty and ground their certainty in the Bible” (source)
“A Christian is a way of being in this world, not a set of doctrines and dogmas” (source)
“Here’s one of the first steps: do not try to face your doubts alone” (source)
