To me, this is a healthy approach to religion. One must always poke and prod at your beliefs regardless of what they are... to move blindly through life without reflection is just asking for trouble.
The problem with poking and prodding is that sometime you damage what you are poking... It is no longer usuable to you. But you realize that you must move onto something else... something different. Many people are afraid of what comes after this... and the answer is never an easy one if you are truly searching.
On the other hand, sometimes poking and prodding can make the thing you are prodding better... more beautiful (like the bits of stone Michalangelo removed from the hunk of rock that became David).
In my mind, both conclusions are worthwhile and as with all things... the journey is the most imprortant part of the process...
