As an ex xtian I now research what I used to believe and debate at times with xtians, especially in a few top intellectual fb groups. Or is the intention here about discussion with believers?

I keep wondering… how often is certainty actually about truth? And how often is it just a way to avoid the discomfort of not knowing, or the risk of losing something we’ve built our identity around?
