I feel as though we are each reading the OP in our own light. It is my understanding that he is asking whether or not you, or any religious person, are unwavering in your devotion, no matter the evidence shown to you, or no matter the lunacy you may come to see in your faith.
well even the bible tells us to test if the teachings are true before they are believed...the christians asked for evidence before they would devote themselves to Jesus and we should do the same. this means devotion is not unconditional.
anyone who has come to an understanding of bible truth knows that God is worthy of devotion...and because of that understanding, devotion developed in them.
I guess im coming from a different angle because devotion didn't come automatically to me...it came after quite a few years of study. My study led me to the conclusion that God's justice, mercy, love and purposes are worthy of devotion and nothing i've learnt can detract from that.
However, if my church, as an organization, started doing things contrary to the bible, then I would leave the church in a heartbeat.
