god and goddesses

today in class we got into a very heated argument. a lot of people shared their opinions on the belief of greek goddesses and gods. A lot of us got caught up on the fact that we knew that they weren't real and they believed that there and that is what got us into a big argument. We have faith and we know that god is real but apparently we need to question things? I found it disrespectful that we were told to go against our faith and what we learn even hear at school in bible class which is not to question god. Mr. schick said we shouldn't just believe everything someone stands up and tells us yeah but then whats the point of going to school or listening to anything anyone says when apparently you can't trust them and shouldn't believe what they said. Information gets passed throughout people and thats how we learn things. However apparently we shouldn't take everything someone says so basically nothing that we know is real or we can trust anything we were told. If we are supposed to question everything and not just take it basically nothing we have been told is actually true because someone just could be making it up.
