The doubt of an earnest thoughtful patient and laborious mind is worthy of respect. In such doubt may be found indeed more faith than in half the creeds.

Often we are quick to find blame with others but yet are unable to give constructive responses. There seems to be a tendency to doubt almost everything. Do we not have faith in our own people's strengths and in our institutions? Can we afford distrust amongst ourselves?

If there are Muslims who believe that they've got to kill Christians to make a way for the Islamic faith in the West not only would they be disappointed but it will lead to conflict there's no doubt about that.

Science we are repeatedly told is the most reliable form of knowledge about the world because it is based on testable hypotheses. Religion by contrast is based on faith. The term 'doubting Thomas' well illustrates the difference.

We're very open and outspoken about our faith and our beliefs. We also talk about our doubts our moments of insecurities. We talk about it all day how we're inspired by God. We recognize little miracles every day and that's how we're raising our daughter.

No man likes to have his intelligence or good faith questioned especially if he has doubts about it himself.

Religious belief like history itself is a story that is always unfolding always subject to inquiry and ripe for questioning. For without doubt there is no faith.

My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads round and green these places summoned and then held me up while I grew. Each prepared me for the next leaf on which I would land and in this way I moved across the swamp of doubt and fear.

Faith like a jackal feeds among the tombs and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope.

Faith which does not doubt is dead faith.
