Doubting is Good

We've castigated Thomas without cause and profiled him for years as "Doubting Thomas". Yet doubting is necessary when healthy.

We must bucket the kinds of doubt to be accurate. I am suggesting there are at least three types of doubts:

1. Sinful Doubt:      That scoffs at the idea on the basis of its spiritual flavour.
2. Foolish Doubt:   That rejects the evidence on the basis of its mental paradigm.
3. Healthy Doubt:  That seeks further evidence on the basis of its emotional appeal.
