Thread: Blind Faith

First of all, nobody (as far as they concern themselves) is blindly faithful. You ask a Christian why they're Christian and they'll likely tell you a story about how 'God' intervened somehow in their life. So though they can't actually see him, they feel that they can at least sense him... a cliche analogy would be comparing God to wind.

Also you make it sound like religious, or blindly faithful people, don't see the beauty of the world. But some would say that having a religious lifestyle 'magnifies' whatever beauty is already here. But it's all subjective really.

IMO your logic is flawed, and you should rethink this statement and consider more possibilities and paradigms when making a statement like this.

I'd like to say now, I'm not athiest or religious. I'm really indifferent actually, but I do concern myself with issues regarding religion and stuff because I feel one of my purposes may be to expose and rid the internet of ignorance or simply idiocy.

People are so wrapped up in whatever they're thinking that they hardly ever put enough thought into what they believe or are saying. I understand this is your opinion, but it's wrong in my opinion.

Blindly assuming that a coincidence was actually God behind the curtains is still blind faith.

Also, most Christians I know were just brought up christian, and have had no other exposure. I don't think it's fair to claim that all christians are christians because they've had some sort of experience they labeled divine.
