The Meaning of Doubt

A blogger weighs in on the Harris-Sullivan blogalogue. Another blogger writes:

Here is where I find myself. Either with insufficient intellect to span the cognitive dissonances that arise when one seeks to make a ‘leap of faith’ to experience the divine in terms supplied by others, or to embrace the ‘unknowable,’ or with a particular brand of autism or obsessive-compulsive disorder that cannot stop seeking to know the unknowable.

I suspect if I am somehow disordered, it is a common disorder. In this context, it is no wonder that fundamentalism maintains its hold. It must provide tremendous peace of mind to have everything figured out.
