Questioning Faith: Other Cultures, Other Religions
As I summarized in a previous blog, there are a number of reasons people question their faith. Here's a quotation which has long been on my mind: "Jacob describes a similar childhood experience: 'I would get up very early to study Torah for a couple of hours before...the morning prayer. On the way to [temple], I noticed that Muslims were already praying at the mosque. So I asked myself: if we're both passionate enough about our religion to get up while it's still dark--how can I be sure that my religion is true and theirs is false?'" --quoted in Teaching Plato in Palestine , by Carlos Fraenkel, pages 67-68 Note: For a review of this book, see this link .
