Certainty in one's faith can become an inhibiting trait when it leads to closed-mindedness, preventing individuals from considering alternative perspectives or engaging in meaningful dialogue. This rigid adherence to beliefs may hinder personal growth and understanding, as it can foster a lack of empathy towards others' experiences and beliefs. Additionally, excessive certainty might result in an inability to adapt to new information or changing circumstances, ultimately stifling spiritual and intellectual development.

In Agnosticism what happens after death?

A different response:A person who is agnostic admits that it is not possible to know with any degree of certainty whether or not there is such a thing as God. Similarly, an agnostic would not claim to know what happens after death.Ironically, this uncertainty is entirely consistent with Christianity and many other religions. Christians have "faith" that God exists, have "faith" in the resurrection of Christ, have "faith" in eternal life, and all the other teachings of the religion. "Faith" means believing without demonstrable proof. This is clearly stated in the Book of Hebrews in the Christian Scriptures: "Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1. If we knew with certainty that God exists, or had demonstrable proof of life in Heaven, we would not need faith.

Should faith include doubt and questioning?

Absolutely. Faith and doubt are NOT opposites. Rather, faith depends on doubt to have meaning. It is probably wise to separate between faith (volitional certainty) and lack of doubt (cognitive certainty). Absolute cognitive certainty is unrealistic since we are finite beings limited in knowledge, reason, and experience. That is why Soren Kierkegaard described faith as the leaping of a chasm ("leap of faith"). Our knowledge and reason bring us to a point. But that point is not far enough. We see where we want to be, but our knowledge and reason is inadequate to get us there. This inadequacy is our doubt (normal and healthy recognition of our limitations). Faith chooses to act volitionally (of the will) in spite of our doubts. In the case of a theist, we in faith throw ourselves on the mercy of God... not because our minds are infinite enough to exclude all other possibilities than God. Rather faith accepts our inabilities, and acts despite these. In the case of an atheist, faith is still used, since an atheist is dogged by the same human limitations. He or she simply chooses to leap over the chasm of doubt to a different endpoint. Kierkegaard's book, "Fear and Trembling" is great (if a bit heavy especially towards the end). Never let doubt die... it is a healthy part of our humanity. But never let doubt incapacitate you in your quest for the truth.
