The Problem With Abandoning Faith

Some people are looking for a reason to doubt the faith. And here's what's unfortunate about it is as soon as someone hears an objection from someone like Erman or others if you're in that posture you just assume that he's right. It sounds extremely intellectually sophisticated to say I'm abandoning the faith for intellectual reasons but what's actually happening is that's not what they're doing. They're abandoning thefaith for one quick glance at one intellectual claim not actually doing the hard homework to find out if that claim is true.
