"BLIND FAITH"
Whoever termed "Blind Faith" in reference to (Christians who believe the Bible) will be proved wrong as a logical statement--these words are illogical. I will present a few observations of the false use of the words "Blind Faith"
Not only is "Blind Faith" insulting the scholarly genius minds who created this great well-thought out book humanities Bible (for the benefit of the people to live their lives with hope structure belief great wisdom and proverbs to be guided by) also insulting to every Christian who believes in it's content. It is suggestive the Bible is false and Christians are blind to that. "Blind Faith" suggests the author is knowledgeable in proving the Bible false. If the author can't do that it just proves their words "Blind Faith" may be they are ignorant to the Bible's content and are faithless because of their ignorance to it. It would be nothing more than a useless ignorant spew. It isn't ignorant for believers to have faith in hope--it is beneficial to have hope. Even someone's smile gives hope to someone because it may be the best thing they received during their day--the point is the usage of the words "Blind Faith" takes away that hope.
"Blind Faith" denies Christians of their perceptions of the Bible indicating the content of it is false thus adding misery of who to trust or believe. These words "Blind Faith" prove useless unless proven fact. And proof would prove a detriment to believers. Ignorance is bliss sometimes. It is one thing to speak facts and entirely another to blindly disallusion believers of hope. What is the purpose of that?
Opinion is valuable when beneficial!
Facts are not necessarily beneficial at all!
"Blind Faith" denies the possibility of truth spoken in the Bible.
The Bible does not influence believers perceptions with "Blind Faith" because it's content freely gives faith and hope and paints visions of believability through a variety of genius perceptions created to give Christians that faith. Where is the "Blind Faith" in that?

8 年Probably the group most commonly using the term "blind faith" when referring to Christians are the scientists who worship their particularly subset of Creation. I'd rather have my so called blind faith than theirs. That is, total reliance and trust in the God of all creation, rather than reliance on science as the be-all and end-all of everything. Christian faith has temporal and eternal benefits not available in other belief systems. Praise the LORD for that!
