Apologetics is fascinating to me. Anyone with the blind faith to believe that questioning God is inappropriate is dead wrong. God welcomes our questions. It is the draw which allows us, as a fallen people, to come closer to God while maintaining our uniqueness (which he created us to be and celebrates). Below are just a few of the resources that I have found interesting. If you have questions check out these sites. They may not answer your question specifically, but may give you comfort to continue your search.
Luke 11:9 9
"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

Here is another interesting blog post I recently came across.
"Gratitude and Humility are the subtle differences between confidence and arrogance."
Philippians 2:3-4
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Philippians 2:3-4

What About All Those Sinful Christians?
In reality, we
(Christians) ARE held accountable for the actions of the few. It is the prime
reason many state for their anti-Christian views. Christian leaders have
denounced these things, and we cringe when we see it happening, even from the
pulpit. The difference is that the Bible plainly describes these things as a
result of original sin… all of humanity is fallen because of our choice to make
our own decisions (the thing that separates us as human). Christianity
says that all have need of forgiveness because we are arrogant and selfish.
People choose to believe they are “right” and “omni-intelligent” which is the
antithesis of the message of the Bible. Unfortunately those self professed Christians
who choose to elevate themselves to demigods enforce both the message of the
Bible (humans are fallen and need help) and the interpretation of those outside
the Church (if THAT is a Christian, I want no part of it). The ONE thing the
Bible tries to emphasize is to remember that we are not GOD and need to be
humble at all times, is also the ONE thing when not complied with that is used
(rightfully so) to turn people away.
