Doubting Faith has joined MoJoey's Atheist Blogroll. I hope this will generate continued interest in this blog.
Thank you MoJoey!
If you are a person of faith who is starting to question your beliefs, this is the place to discuss those doubts with former believers who also had doubts and who eventually found answers that led them away from religion. Please feel free to email us at GotDoubts@gmail.com
Welcome!
It can be scary to be a believer questioning God. Having doubts about His existence, His role in the world, the great flood, or any of the other stories in the Bible can create feelings of guilt and anxiety. After all, you could be risking eternal damnation. But that doesn't make those doubts go away and you're left with a nagging sense of confusion.
But where do you go to ask the questions? If you ask your minister, the answer is eventually two fold, he'll first point you to the Bible and if that doesn't work, he'll say "God works in mysterious ways and you have to have faith in Him."
But what if the Bible doesn't satisfy the questions in your mind? What if you feel your faith slipping away and you need solid answers to your questions. Maybe you have a need to know and are unable to readily believe without evidence.
If you are a person of faith who is starting to question your religion, this is a place to discuss those questions with former believers who also questioned their faith, the beliefs they were brought up with, their ministers and the Bible.

About the DoubtingFaith staff...
Each of us was brought up in a religious household, went to church, read the Bible, etc... And along the way, each of us began to have questions that we could not find answers to within that religion.
We are here to share our stories and our journeys with you. We can help you find answers and share our personal experiences with you.
Having faith is easy. You say to yourself, "I believe no matter what" and then ignore everything that doesn't dovetail with that faith.
Doubting faith is hard work. We're here to help.
