The words of Gamaliel, his wisdom in fact, predate those words about the rationality of religion known as Pascal's wager. It seems to me. however that to believe in God just because he might exist and might ask me to account for all the deeds of my life is lacking in the true faith that the Life Death and the  Resurrection demand. God's love for us, his people, is manifest yet doubts do. exist. We need to believe not because our brain can follow an argument but because our hearts are bursting to reciprocate God's love for us. If we can't do, this "think on".

Dear Lord I need to know that your Grace can fill me and protect me from sin. Let me to return to your Sacraments let not bad example deter me from your Church. 

" Doubts do exist" but some are more critical than others. I have to accept God's "Good News- Christ is risen". I have no alternative to this and I know that The Bible is the record of God's deeds and decrees. The question that I ask about the baskets in today's Gospel. "Where did the baskets come from ?" is not just flippancy but it is an example of "doubt" without damage to Faith that is possible. Some of the deeds and words of the Lord have been subject to human redaction.

Jesus you were tortured on the Cross by my sins. Let not my pride at the  quick quip be before the fullness of your grace that is transmitted through the scriptures.
