Blind Faith is not Really Faith at all

Faith is, or should be, trusting in something that you know to be true, or at least have substantial evidence to base your belief on. If you are trusting in something that you have no way of knowing that it is the truth or at least have sufficient amount of evidence that it is truth, then you could really be deceived. Real faith is trusting in something you have a fairly strong reason to believe to be true, not merely in something that you take for granted.

Believing in something that you just take for granted is the best way to be deceived, and worst of all not even realizing it. Most people today trust in what they have been told by the people in their pulpits or something that they have been taught by someone holding some title, diploma or whatnot, who they merely believe to know what they are telling them is true. Now in some cases this might be a good idea, but when it comes to religion, it may be safer to have a good amount of doubt or suspicion.

The problem is that people today haven’t researched for themselves to see if something is true. If you don’t know it for yourself, you could be, and more than likely are deceived. But It’s really hard to blame them though since there are thousands of people in every corner of the earth with their own version of the truth or what they consider to be the correct interpretation of something assumed to be true.

The bible is not absolute truth nor inerrant. As far as the bible goes, which is supposed to be the absolute standard from which to base everything, is not so absolute. In fact, it is full of contradictions, inconsistencies, forgeries, and has undergone surgery, by dishonest men, to remove parts that the church were considered not viable with the doctrines of the church of the day. What’s worse is that to go back to find out what the original works actually said is impossible since there is none in existence — the original documents have been destroyed or lost. The most recent codexes of the bible go back only to the 4th or 5th centuries, several hundred years removed from the departure of the main writings of Christianity, the writings of the which could have lead us to the actual truths that they taught.
