The Sacredness of Questioning Everything

Is Your God Big Enough to Be Questioned? The freedom to question is an indispensable and sacred practice that is absolutely vital to the health of our communities.According to author David Dark when religion won't tolerate questions objections or differences of opinion and when it only brings to the table threats of excommunication violence and hellfire it obstructs our ability to think empathize and live lives of authenticity and genuine engagement.The God of the Bible not only encourages questions; the God of the Bible demands them. If that were not so we wouldn't live in a world of such rich God-given complexity in which wide-eyed wonder is part and parcel of the human condition. The possibility of redemption and revolution depends on the questions we ask of God governments media and everyday economies. It is by way of the questions that we resist the conformity that deadens and come alive to visions that redeem.
