I think I know very well where Nathan is coming from, and I don’t think it’s invalid, for the reasons you state among others. But after much wrangling with the same issues, my comment is the only summary statement I’ve ever really been able to make on the matter. He’s just left religion and I feel him on not knowing what to trust—I don’t think there’s any othe place he could be right now.
I suppose what I really wanted to say is that you can never surrender those doubts to anyone else or some external system. You just have to accept that you will make mistakes, stay alert to new information, and stay in touch with what changes in you over time.
