Would it be better if God were to remove all possibility of doubt?

    I don't think so. I think that it is one of the factors that allow for choice. If God were to remove all doubt, then we would thus be left with a very clear understanding of what route we will take, not necessarily the route we should take, whether for good or ill. If doubt was removed, we still may not know the truth, and so miss out on what God wants for us. Doubt allows us to seek help from God and others, and get different viewpoints on a choice.

    For me, realizing what God has done for me makes me much less harsh, mostly on myself, but also on others. It provides the basis for all of my moral character, or at least my envisioned moral character, and allows me to actually have a goal to get towards. When I realize that Christ died for someone else, something that is rarely taught as most people say Christ died for you and they leave the other guy out of it, it makes me attempt to treat them better. Usually, I only remember it after I did something nasty to someone and they aren't near anymore, unfortunately. The realization makes me become knowing of the right way to go, and usually allows me the strength to overcome what I'd normally do, thus allowing me the choice. I think that the understanding that Christ has died for me not only makes me realize where I am wrong, but also allows me to decide upon the best action, contrary to my personal nature.
    The principles of God's word have been taught to me since I was born, and I try to live the principles that my parents have taught me. I hope that even if I do not realize it, those principles appear in my moral character. I know that they don't always appear, but then my conscience gets a hold of me and makes me remember how I should behave. They are certainly my ideal for myself, but I have times when I do not live those principles.
