Questioning things and reasoning it out for yourself is a necessary part of the process. There is the faith that children learn and pick up from their parents and teachers, and then there is the more mature faith that is based on your own questioning and struggling with it and praying to know for yourself. Others can help you and encourage you, but can never give that to you. And your belief may not be exactly the same as what you were taught, or what the people around you believe.

I think that I understood that you were seeking for answers in your threads. I didn't think that you intended to start a debate, etc., and I know that you meant no harm or disruption. Feel free to PM people if you want to discuss some of those topics more. There is nothing wrong with needing to work out your questions.
