Re: Big C, small c
but the position of the modern fundamentalist churches seems to be "remove all everything from your life that causes doubt." science, theology, knowledge, education, music... friends, family...
If you don't have doubt, then you don't really have faith either. If you have properly thought it through, you cannot help but have doubt.

yes, quite right. faith isn't really meaningful if you don't realize that you could be wrong.
