blind faith

Blind faith. I don't like how this term is thrown around and applied to everything religious. There is a reason behind all faith; it may not be properly examined; but it's there. Be it tradition, acceptance, a crutch, intuition, or those events in your life that lead you to your faith. My faith as undergone great examination and still is. Some may not care to examine it because it serves its purpose without conflict or they're just not that serious about it.

If religious faith were so blind, why are there so many different religions and denominations? Dissension is antithetical to blind following. Our pluralistic world is a testament to the rarity of blind faith.
