I half agree and half not. While I feel that belief in and reverence for God are the most important part of my life, I think that asking yourself questions about Him is important too. Without asking what you believe, people can easily be manipulated. Case in point: Oral Roberts, a televangelist charlatan who manipulated thousands of people into sending him money because if not, he would be 'called away to heaven'. Why did people send him money? Not because they really thought hed be sucked away, but that it made them a better Christian. 'Heaven doesnt await only those who congregate.' I dont think putting a little steel fish or DeColores bumper sticker on your car makes you closer to God. Of course, this is just my opinion, but I think we can all agree not to send Oral Roberts any more money. Or Pat Robertson, simply because my uncle installed his solid gold (armed guarded) water fixtures. I personally feel that if you let Jesus save you and try to live a good life, thats all you need to do.
