I think blind faith in anything undermines good thinking.

Absolutely. It is one bane of the societies, that will continue to hold Africans down, from developing for years to come.

When some one is sick, very sick and dying, it is God will. When a corrupt politician embezzled public funds, it is in God's hand and God only can punish him.

Africans are totally suck into senseless of thinking they cannot do anything for themselves. It is all in God's hands.

Make me so sick

Read Erich Fromm's book, ESCAPE FROM FREEDOM.

Yes it does but the religious will tell you they have logic and evidence. I don't see that they have either.

That is the whole point of it.

The ability to think critically (among other cognitive skills) is one of the foundations of my world view.

As a Lecturer once stated, categorically, during my studies to gain my ThD.
" The parameters of Faith are such;
a) One must NEVER question,
b) One must NEVER attempt to apply reasoning, etc, to ANY and ALL religious teachings,
c) One MUST TRUST explicitly what you are told, no matter the interpretation, etc,
d) the Laws of God and religion are paramount and beyond the Laws of Man,
e) doubt/doubts are the open door/s by which the Devil enters and once in will never leave,
f) One MUST submit oneself completely and without reservation to the beliefs of the religion and those teaching it, else God shall turn his back to you and yours unto a thousand Generations have passed.
That is Faith, that IS what Faith demands and requires of you."
And when I offered up my question referring to " Free Will being the gift of God to mankind" the response was as such.
"Free Will as per God is the gift for a MAN to choose the woman he so desires so that HE may bring her and the children she bears him into the Light of God, that IS the only Free Will that God has gifted unto man and man alone for women were NEVER gifted with anything from God other than to be subservient, submissive and obedient to men, bring forth his children from her womb, tend to his every needs and any woman who fails to give her husband male children has both failed him and God alike."
Needless to say that I totally disagreed completely with him and his interpretations 110% throughout my studies and still remain a 100% ardent Atheist.

I believe ‘blind faith,’ is mentally unhealthy and has been true as far back as we go, with recorded history!

And I can't think of a better demonstration than the way the evangeloons are supporting a president who is the antithesis of their Jesus!
