Donuel says: They say it isn't possible to hold two contrary thoughts in your mind at the same time.

I dunno. I do it all the time. When I make a decision, I am still aware of the many good points of the path I did not take. When I take a stand on something, I am almost always aware that there are other ways of looking at the matter. Still, I have to make a choice - but if it's a choice worth thinking about, I know that I will have some regrets and doubts about the decision I made. Sure, there are some "no brainer" decisions in life - but in those cases, only the brainless would choose the alternative.

And as somebody who seriously believes in God, I am constantly aware of the real possibility that there might not be a God. Doubt is healthy, I think.
