[Conservative til I die]

If a novel can undermine your faith, you ain't too faithful.

Yes, but don't those weak in faith deserve a chance at salvation (notice I said 'chance' and not salvation outright).

I, and I am sure many other very good, believing Christians were at one time or another wishy-washy in our faith. I'd rather they be brought to the faith rather than left to wallow in their ignorance. It's all that cosmic heaven-hell eternity stuff.

[Protagoras]

Everyone is wishy washy at some point, IMO. I have never talked to any clergy or lay person who claimed un-questioned faith at every single momment of their lives.

I also do not believe you can "bring" someone to faith. In fact, I'm told that it isn't our responsibility to do so. That is the job of the Holy Spirit. We are told to spread the gospel.

That's what I have been taught, in anycase.
