I see the standard "if it's good, praise god. If it's bad, it wasn't meant to be or it's god’s will". So in that aspect, a true believer NEVER waivers in faith, no matter the evidence presented.
I was listening to Wisconsin Public radio the other day. they had a guest speaker on. His name is William Lobdell. He was speaking about his book he had written, "Losing My Religion: How I Lost My Faith Reporting on Religion in America-and Found Unexpected Peace". It was about how he had been a heavy drinker.."sinner" if you will, then found god. It entails his 20 years as a devout Christian, being a journalist and then uncovering the nitty gritty about Catholicism, causing him to lose his faith in god, and turn into an Atheist.
One particular event he had mentioned was about a priest who had been uncovered as a pedophile, but allowed into priesthood and allowed to preach at this church. He came out, told the congregation about it.....and was fucking PRAISED. They wanted to name the church after him! After he got done telling how he had done what he had done, the entire church gave him a standing ovation.
Jesus finds the good in every situation.
