Do you follow your religion from a logical viewpoint or one of blind faith?

Answer 1

BOTH ............ and it's possible, trust me

Answer 2

Well, this is a trick question.

Anyone that follows a religion is following it with blind faith because not 1 religion has ever been proven correct in fact. Therefore, the logical viewpoint is that all religions are non-legit.

Answer 3

Blind faith is useless. We must have a foundation for our faith and that means searching the scriptures to see if what we believe is actually in there.
It's God's viewpoint not mans that matters. Then if we see that what we read is conflicting with what we were raised to believe then are we humble enough to make the changes in order to fit in with God instead of fitting him in with us?

For example read GENESIS 2:7 - this shows that Adam BECAME a living soul (Notice that this does not say that man was given a soul but that he became a soul, a living person.)
The part of the Hebrew word here rendered “soul” is ne′phesh.
EZEKIEL 18:4 shows that the soul dies (is not immortal)

Does that conflict with what we were raised to believe?
It's there in the scriptures

I follow my religion because every answer to every question that I ask is in the bible. Scripture is always used to support all beliefs. When we have a meeting of worship everyone takes a copy of the bible along and checks up everything that is said with the scriptures. This proves to me that it is God's viewpoint I am getting instead of man's doctrine or thoughts.

Thank you for the questions:)

Answer 4

Logical viewpoint. Blind faith is dangerous

Answer 5

If it were COMPLETELY logical then it wouldn't be a religion, it would be a fact. Do you believe your football team will win because you WANT them too or because of their excellent past record? Either way, what you believe may not end up being the truth. We all live our lives through having blind faith in something at some point. Who cares if it makes you feel good?

Answer 6

I am a m uslim
there is no blind faith in islam
every thing is logica
allah created our region, and so, he will help us to use it .

in Quran, many many verses asking people to look at Allah's creatures, the sky, the ground, the mountains, the rain, the stars, the food, the crops, and ourselves.

Allah has put some miracles to us to understand..... I mean, Mohammed (PBUH) had miracles.....but the lasting miracle is the Holy Quran......there are three types of miracles there

1- Language miracles: Quran is in arabic, however, Noone was able to make once verse like in it......it has very strange delightful way of writing......i am an arabic and i know that......non arab muslims can read quran but may be can not read usual arabic.....CAN U IMAGINE?

2- Scientific miracles: For u and the west who believes in Science only......there are many scientific miracles
u can see some in that website

www.islamweb.net

3- Historic miracles: Mohammed (PBUH) and the quran predicted some events that had happened later......

What do u want after all that for convincing your logic?

Answer 7

Logical. I was not brought up a Christian, when I was old enough, I considered all the evidence and did a lot of research to come to the faith I have now. It is not 'blind faith', but yes it is faith, because it can't be proven 100%, I trust in God.

Answer 8

I was confirmed Catholic as a child however I think every Religion has something to offer. I believe stories in the Bible are just that, stories that act as guidelines and teach lessons. I tend to embrace the positive aspect of almost every Religion and apply that to my daily life.
I may not necessarily believe there is a "God" but I do believe there is some kind of higher power at work. So I would have to say I'm fairly logical in my views of Religion.

Answer 9

Blind faith would be emotional thern logical follow through of something arising from an illogical summation or impression of fact.
Logical would be through a thorough consideration of fact and consequences and thus have an entrenchment of Faith.

Answer 10

I'd like to think of myself as an agnostic (my family is of Orthodox christian origin), because religions usually become corrupt from the inside (the Church) and because no religion can actually convince me of their God. I can't say that there is a God, cause there is no actual proof for me to say it. But there isn't any actual proof of the opposite either.
I prefer to believe in the things that are proven real. Like people, good friends, love and the power of each person. So if agnosticism can be described as religion (it actually can't), I'd say I follow it because of logic, mostly.

Answer 11

From a logical viewpoint and from faith -- but my faith is not at all "blind." Since becoming serious about my faith (Catholicism) about five years ago, I've never seen so clearly.
