Remember how Thomas the apostle at first refused to believe Jesus' resurrection until he could actually see Jesus for himself and touch his wounds? Well, I like the idea of being a doubter as well. Yes – this is not a misprint – I have resolved to remain a doubter.
Except I mean being a kind of doubter that is a complete reversal of what Thomas was. Until someone can show me Jesus' grave with his remains still in it and allow me to see and touch those remains, I will not believe that Jesus is still dead. Nothing short of that will make me stop doubting the permanent death of Jesus.
Some of those who scoff at Christianity will often claim that our religion requires a lot of blind faith. But I don't have enough faith not to be Christian. My doubts just won't let me go there.
