I didn't fully understand what "True Faith" was until I found Luna or rather she found me. When I was young my father attempted to raise me Christian, however unfortunately for him I saw too many flaws in the religion and questioned the system often. However later it seems I understand what he was trying to show me which was the meaning of what 'True Faith' is.

I've come to understand "True Faith" is not something you can so easily describe in the human language. You feel you know so much more on a completely different level. It's about listening to the divine powers/inner self that we are all capable of being in tune to. It's that feeling that you know what you follow you definitely belong to. It's about knowing you are most definitely a part of something greater then what can just be seen with the naked eye. It's about believing in something that you love and not being forced into believing in it.

As for "Blind Faith" I'm not exactly sure how to describe it but I'll try and come up with something. "Blind Faith" to me are those who follow a religion or spiritual path out of fear or habit. They are those who think they understand their part they play in the divine, but really don't know what they are even talking about...at least they don't completely comprehend it. "Blind Faith" are those few individuals coming down from an addiction and use religion as a means for a direction for their "addictive" behavior. You never question what is put before you, you simply accept it at face-value. As new information arises it is not implemented into these individuals beliefs (essentially they do not adjust for modern advances in information that simply enhances the way we see things). However while not all information could be contrary to the belief system and very well support, that also would not make a difference. These individuals believe what they will and often times are stubborn about changing their ways.

Both of these ideas relate back to a quote I've read at least once or twice in my life thus far that sums up what both concepts very well in such a few short words. "For many are called, but few are chosen" - Matthew 22:14 ver. New American Standard.

So what are some of your own beliefs on what "True Faith" is vs. "Blind Faith"?

I see true faith as believing in something, not because you're forced to or because it's expected, but because you cannot find it in yourself to fully deny it. You question your beliefs, but always come to the conclusion that it either suits you or must be true. However, it also includes modifying or even changing your beliefs based on more recent "data" or how your views change.

Blind faith is taking something for the absolute truth without ever questioning why. You don't explore the possibilities or leave room to modify your beliefs as you discover more things and your views change. You just accept it, because you accept it, because you accept it. Circular reasoning is rampant in blind faith, simply because someone who believes in this way refuses to look into outside sources to explain their beliefs, or even for supporting their beliefs. "Grass is green because it was made that way" doesn't take into account chlorophyll or the process of photosynthesis. Sure, that's a little extreme and is certainly not an argument anyone would likely use now, but it is how many people choose to dismiss things.

In short, the only difference between true faith and blind faith is one's willingness to search for evidence or an explanation, and being able to accept their findings for what they are, whether or not they prove some beliefs invalid or simply misinformed.
