I don't think I'm alone in saying yes.
However, He fully gave me the blows I needed to maintain and keep my faith in Him as I went through life.
I don't really know the point of this poll.
Just because we had a doubt at one time doesn't mean that we don't fully and completely believe in all now.

"I believe, help me with my unbelief."

You are definitely not alone.

I believe in God but there have been times in my life where my faith has been heavily tested.

How can I say this, even as a little girl ..........I knew "something" was there. I knew that though, I did'nt "fit in" with the crowd, there was "something there" and this 'something" loved me. I just did'nt know what it was! Am I making sense to anyone? And yet, through the struggles of my young adulthood, it's only when I ACTUALLY called on Him, I knew without a doubt, that He was real. He showed up! He saved me!

I don't think I ever doubted He was real, I just did'nt believe. But I do now and I can assure you all, He reallll, realer (is there such a word?) than than the next breath you'll take, for without Him, it's impossible.

Yes, He's real people, if only you'll believe.

I think as we mature we learn to question everything.
I would be suspect of a person who did not say that they doubted.
To me, there is nothing wrong with this. Questioning and doubting can only result in greater truth.
If you are sincere and pray that if there is anything 'out there', just ask that it be revealed to you in a way that you'll understand if IT intends for you to be a believer.
God is not asleep. We are all connected to IT.
You will get a response, a way will be opened.
Maybe a book.
Maybe an insight in your life, spurred by a passing word overheard in a crowd.
Just be sincere and ask for understanding and keep your heart and mind open.

I put this on another thread that was made this morning about doubting God, so I thought I would put it here as well...

"For the record, the poll about "doubting in God" asked, have you EVER... to which I, and some other Christians answered yes. That does not mean we ever doubted His existence during our walk with Him, but at some point in our life. Like with me, it was before I became a Christian. I can't answer for others."

Exactly Jamie.

I think the only folks who've never had doubts about God probably think they are one.
