Is it OK to Want Reasons for Believing in God?

<p>It’s curious that in most areas of life we are told that we should follow the evidence to know what we should do or what we should believe.&nbsp; Will this vaccine work to stop the virus?&nbsp; Wait for the scientific evidence, we are told.&nbsp; Who should I vote for in the election?&nbsp; Wait until you hear both sides of the debate, so you can make a fully informed decision, it is suggested.&nbsp; In fact, on nearly every issue under the sun, we are told to make decisions based on what is the most reasonable to believe or to do.&nbsp; Except in the area of religion, we are sometimes told.&nbsp; In religion we aren’t supposed to ask questions, we should suppress our doubts, we should just have faith rather than raise all kinds of objections.&nbsp; Really?&nbsp; Well, why is that?&nbsp; Why is religion exempted from the general rules of believing what is reasonable to think is true and from acting on what is good for human beings?</p>
