Blind faith

This tuesday i had gone to the RSL and played my games of snooker. Ive got no love for this game that i once had. Its just that snooker isn't a priority for me anymore and that the tip of the cue had fallen off the previous week and i havn't bothered to re-tip it.

And i was having a discussion with one of the guys and he was telling me about his priorities in life putting family first. I thought of this and didn't feel the same as him, rather just saying id put family second. Then you may ask what do i put first in my life then? I'll let you decide at the end of all this.

So it came to a discussion of beliefs. He mentioned he believed in Jesus as a man but didn't believe in the reincarnation. I questioned him how much of Jesus did he believe in the sense of the things he did and say. I told him what i believed in but in the end he believed that it was all blind faith.

To me blind faith simply = things you go off by something without substance/proof/truth. Say in this snooker environment, you have a professional that you've seen with your own eyes that scores at least 60 in every game he has played in. You then have faith in this guy with the way he has performed and believe that he'll pull off another 60 in the coming game. So is this still blind faith? You've seen him pull it off in every game in the past..

You tell me.

But say i told you about my life experiences with God, that my faith has been built with my experiences hanging out with Him. Reading what the bible has told me about my self and others, God answering my prayers esp during my darkest days, seeing people changed in the Bible and also the same way in real life. Is that still blind faith? I've seen things that have backed up all that I've known of God.

You tell me.
