We can learn a lot from Judaism. There's a long tradition in Judaism of questioning God. I hope that more Christians will find themselves feeling safe and secure enough, so that they can step outside and visit other people's houses of faith. Find out how other people see things. What I'm warning against is that, as Christians, we shouldn't build these citadels that we hide inside and feel we have to defend at all costs.
