All throughout our lives we are labeled, defined and formed by others. The families into which we are born, that religious context, the culture, the country and the economic situations all form the way in which we think, even down to the presuppositional level. All of these situations are foisted upon us without our consent or input. At best, by the time we are reaching teen age, we may begin to question some of these things.
I believe that any and all thoughts, ideas, beliefs, culture and presuppositions should be questioned. The great thing about truth is that truth is never afraid of any question. This is great because any question will lead to truth, when rightly sought out and understood. Question everything. The right use of logic, with the right foundation, will lead to truth and in the truth is where we want to be.
If someone is honest, the right answers may be radically different than what we currently believe. But if we are "actually" seeking truth, and belief change, even drastic, world shattering changes will be welcomed.
As a side note, I belief that any and all questions will only be answered rightly by the Orthodox church. All truth leads to Jesus Christ as revealed by his church.
