Living with Doubt

Ours is frequently characterised as a secular era, an era of unbelief. However, the paradox of our tiume is its hectic religiosity, witness the existence of innumerable belief systems.

In fact, doubt is really a necessary pre-requisite to, and accompaniment of, faith. The opposite of faith is certainty. Living with faith is living with doubt.
