One of my friends said the otehr week that blind faith is the best faith there is, or something along the lines of that. I'm not sure I totally agree with that. It can be very harmful to believe everything you're told, even if it may come from a minister. If people didn't explore other options, we'd still be owning slaves, working in the kitchen, and having crusades.
On the other hand, if you can't believe everything, can you believe anything at all? What really is the truth in life? How can we trust people? I want to think so. Just- where is that invisble line?
I felt like a bit of an outsider here, not going to church, but I'm so confused right now as to what's right and what I should believe. I've got more questions than anyone can really answer. I just wish there were a simple answer.
