"Yes you do risk losing your faith if you dig deep. It has happened to lots of people. But that does not mean you should not dig. You don't want to feel that if you turned over every stone, somewhere there would be a snake. You have to be willing to look at everything or your faith will be shaky. My own belief is that if you run into a problem, you should plunge right into the center of it and learn all you can. Problems that are lit up with knowledge are often less scary than problems lurking in the shadows." (Richard Bushman)
