Re: Evil
[QUOTE]
Let us assume that the rebellion I speak of is that point where what we believe with our values and upbringing and rationality is at a fundamental conflict with what is believed to be (let us say with good cause) the Almighty's decree. Yes the pious reaction would be to err on the side of what is believed to be the religious judgement, but I wonder how many amongst us wouldnt be sympathetic to the other side in such a case.

there is no easy answer to this question as it forces us to choose a side ( which i think is your intention to ask this question in the first place ! )
I wish you could give some examples
problem is opposing God and Prophet is not an option, while we may argue a bit based on our intellect we have to accept their decision in the end.So simply arguing does not make you a disbeliever but refusing to accept that decision might.And yes we might have sympathy for that intellectual but that does not mean I would side with that person in that argument.Difference of opinion might be tolerated but not encouraged by any means.
I can think of some examples from islamic history if you are interested
