Interesting article from Fors Clavigera:
There are certain streams of “emerging” Christianity which seem to think that doubt is some revolutionary new stance that has finally had permission to emerge now that we are “new kinds of Christians.” Formerly oppressed by fundamentalisms that quashed any hint of uncertainty, such Christians are at pains to point out that we can never be certain. But having still accepted the modern equation of knowledge with certainty, they also end up professing that we can’t know. So what we’re left with is not doubt, but skepticism.

Well written:
“The prayer of the doubter is not, ‘Lord I believe, conform to the measure of my unbelief,’ but rather: ‘Lord I believe, help thou my unbelief.’”
Healthy doubt, if there is such a thing, leads us to the latter prayer. Unhealthy doubt definitely seems to lead to the former.
