Once you begin to think critically, you realize that everything you had just blindly accepted is now full of holes so big you could drive an a column of tanks through them. Isn’t this the reason that it is discouraged and blind faith is promoted?

exactly - what's strange is that so many people don't want to find those holes

I see that is being repeated, so enable's try discussing it on yet another tack. severe wondering does not pull all of us faraway from God. What it pulls human beings faraway from is the practice of uncritically wondering and doing what they are instructed. most of the popular adherents of any faith in any respect are noteworthy for not wondering and doing what they are instructed. and severe wondering isn't taught "like attempt to study faith." that is a diverse kind of training altogether. besides the indisputable fact that, once study it, and also you'd be equipped to attain a a procedures deeper information of religion than you need to probably benefit with out it. Such important non secular leaders as St. Augustine of Hippo, the Venerable Bede, St. Paul, the prophets Amos and Isaiah, and evidently Jesus of Nazareth excelled in severe wondering, and in training it to others.

Quite the contrary! Critical Thinking allows the non believer to grasp and contemplate the Truth of Jesus the Christ.
This is why the non believer is encouraged to view the world in one narrow way based only on the analytical scientific method.
Who possesses greater blindness, the poet or the scientist?

That certainly isn'e a Biblical or a Christian teaching. The Bible teaches that there is two wisdoms. The wisdom of he world and the wisdom of God. We tend to do our critical thinking with the wisdom of God, not the wisdom of men.
1 Cor 2:5 "...your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. 6 Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; 7 but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; 8 the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; 13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words."

Yes, once you allow reason in imaginary beings disappear. That is why organized religion has historically been the enemy of science and liberal thought. Free thinking individuals are the most dangerous threat to religious organizations.

I adhere to the system of critical interpretation of the Bible. (I'm sure that's beyond your understanding) Blind faith is what it takes to face eternity without hope........Don't think, just keep groping in the dark.

In mu honest opinion, yet. I've heard Christians to believe in Christ on "blind faith", Muslims to believe in Allah on "blind faith", etc.

Yes. Faith is the antithesis of logical thinking.
