My faith in Christianity was shaken by logic and reading. I went to a Catholic school where I read the Bible and was taught how to think. And I eventually thought myself away from it all.
The whole pagan thing made sense to me, and I was happy. I thought magic and power were real. Then my life fell apart... let me see... nope, I don't think I can count the times, and I realized that if anything were real it was impotent or uncaring.
That's when I discovered IIDB.
There are still enough things that simply don't add up for me to completely not believe, magical things that have happened, weird things, coincidences, shared experiences. But I'm too rational to go all the way in.
I do understand about how skeptics seemt o attack only parts of the arguement, or the weakest cases. Sometimes, it really seems like there is something unexplained going on. But then again, chemistry was born from the magic of alchemy,a dn I am not so foolish as to think that this time right now is the pinnacle of human development in the sciences.
So I guess, my faith gets shaken a bit in either direction several times a day. Uncomfortable experience, but it keeps me on my toes.
