personally, I believe that it is the questioning that makes one's faith stronger. If you never question something, then you blindly accept it without thinking about it. That just makes you a brainless sheep following the herd, like a lemming jumping off a cliff.
I think that God -- the God I believe in, at least -- would much prefer to have people follow him because they have done the hard mental work and asked the difficult questions, and decided that His way is the one that makes the most sense to them, rather than having a bunch of people following him because they were told to!
