Is it normal to doubt?

I've been a long time atheist, but I've recently started doubting it... I feel like some things don't add up. Is it normal to doubt this?Is it normal to doubt?
sure. you should never just accept something.Is it normal to doubt?
I don't really know. When you say 'atheist', do you mean to say that you claim to know that God does not exist?

That would be the idiotic thing to do :P

Well, I feel that I know that God does not exist (does that make sense?). I don't really know how to explain it, I've just come upon a time where I'm doubting... I'd just simply like to know if it's normal.

I'm a weak atheist/agnostic, and I don't really doubt my position, mainly because I'm already at a position of maximum doubt and uncertainty. :P

But yeah, if the only reason is that you feel that you know that God doesn't exist, then you should be doubting, because that's not really solid justification for strong atheism.
Yes, it is normal.

Yes
yes... it's just human nature! Everyone goes through it, atheist or theist.
Out of interest, what is it thats making you think some kind of supernatural bring may exist?
Yep, it happens. You are at a crossroad. You are at the first stage of something bigger.
If you don't have at least some form of lingering doubt about something as big as that (regardless of which side of the fence you're on), I would say there's something wrong.

Yes it is... but dont get wrapped up in to any religon.... religon does nothing but divide us as humans... i highly doubt any human knows whats going to happen after we die......... the best anwser is we just dont know for sure
You should question everything. Doubt until you're certain or at least comfortable. It's very normal.
Doubt's as healthy for atheists as for theists. I sometimes feel like some atheists will assume as certain the most ludicrous of claims made in the name of science just because religious types are currently attacking them. It's really important to think for yourself and not get unwittingly herded into one camp or the other simply because that's the general direction of your beliefs.
You should always believe in something not through vain but by choice
