It is possible to believe something and still acknowledge that you might be wrong.
I would go so far as to argue that it is preferable, when dealing with matters of belief and faith, to acknowledge that you might be wrong.
Otherwise, you prohibit your own faith from growing and changing, which is a natural thing for it to do. So no, I have no sympathy for anyone who says "$Religious_Belief is correct, and everyone who believes otherwise is misguided or evil."
"I believe in $Religious_Belief, and here is why," is a perfectly valid statement, but once you close the doors to alternatives, not even God can show you where you might have misinterpreted, or chosen poorly. |
