If I have a red car and someone wants to argue it's blue, I'll never have a problem with that.
I, for one, welcome Timmy's questions and even his doubts. I'm a Lead Pastor with a church that made up almost completely of recently unchurched people and I welcome and encourage them to voice and investigate their doubts. It's healthy. And if our values can't be fully investigated, we're just another cult pushing craziness.

I have no problem with people's doubts. But to push other folks to doubt is my issue.
