Doubt

Here's this week's Bible study blog entry for i.ucc.org:

How much do you doubt? How much is too much? How much is too little?

This week's reading from John 20:19-31 is about Thomas (you know, "Doubting Thomas!") and Jesus. I have a few short thoughts about doubt and I'd live to hear what you think:

Here are four statements about doubt. Think about whether you agree or disagree with them:

• Doubt is uncertainty or skepticism
• Doubt is the absence of faith
• Faith cannot exist with doubt
• Doubt and faith exist together
  

The first statement is a shortened version of a dictionary definition of doubt.
The second one is the one that I was taught by a few teachers when I was growing up.
The third one was what the second one led to in my mind as I grew.
The fourth one is what I believe.

What do you doubt? What do you believe?
