Is blind faith a good thing?  I don’t think so.  In fact that’s one thing I’m willingly able to admit, is that I think it’s horrible when people are tricked into believing what they believe.  I think we should choose our religion based on what we know from the ones out there, instead of blindly following someone’s teachings just because that’s what we were taught to do.  As I have always said, I think religious decisions should be logically thought and and then made.  Why am I a Christian?  Because I have had situations in my life that caused me to believe.  I have no doubt that there is a God, and I believe in Him.  Does that mean I’m going to turn up my nose to other religions?  No, because even though I am sure, I’m not going to disrespect them and try to tell them that what they are doing isn’t right, because it may be all they know.  Imagine another religion, doesn’t matter what, but a member of it starts worshipping in their form of worship.  It would be disrespectful to them to look down on them and ridicule, and some people will even do it to their face.

This goes both ways too though.  People shouldn’t question religious beliefs.  What if something a person is doing is right by their religious point of view, but wrong lawfully?  It shouldn’t be questioned in my opinion.  People are to involved with what others do.  The world cannot understand that people must do what they believe is right.  I don’t understand that, I really don’t.  As a Christian, I have to do what I believe is right, and if it goes against the laws of the world, I think it’s more important.  Because in my opinion, my eternity is far more important than my life here on earth.  I just think people become far to self-involved in the affairs of others.

In closing, I don’t believe blind faith is a good thing at all.  I think it can harm not only the person performing his or her faith, but also people observing it, simply because they appear brainwashed.  Life really is short, and there is a lot more to life than what we see.  As humans we’ve got to get our stuff straight, because as of now this is the only world we know, but there is far more.
