Largely yes - although some have convinced themselves that god talks to them, or seem to see the lovely things in the world as evidence of god (while completely ignoring the horrible things) - which is a bit of self delusion.
Please don't type the start of every word in capitals. It's unnecessarily weird.

Protestant here!
Doesn't anyone of any religion go on faith alone? Where is the tangible evidence of God? I'm sure some can make certain arguments backing up Creationism (not very good ones coming from a strictly scientific standpoint), but humans right now don't have hard proof.
So, it's faith.

No, that's far too sweeping. From what I've seen, many believe that they have sufficient evidence to validate their beliefs. In real terms, though, that evidence is poor.
Take the 'look at the beauty and majesty of the world/the universe/babies/flowers..' argument. This will be very convincing to someone who is not aware that other, non-supernatural, reasons for this exist.
Or the 'I feel convinced in my heart that...'. Or the arguments that rely on ineffable mysteries that the person feels could have no other explanation. These are all false, and have been addressed, but few people know, or want to know, or would agree if they did.
Blind faith is just part of the mix for the average theist - though it does become an increasing factor as you approach extremism.

I'm christian, but I'm wondering what constitutes as blind faith? I have no proof that God exists, but I still believe in Him. Are you talking about the people who believe but don't know why they do?

I'm interested to know what you think those NOT going on blind faith are doing.
Personally, I'm all for believing whatever you need to believe to get you thru the night.

Well considering that there is no empirical proof that any deity exist how can you not be? You have your basis in a book that itself has no concrete proof, no references or citations and you accept it without question so yes that is blind faith.

Yeah, I do. Why? Because nobody has seen God, rendering their faith "blind."

Of course they do. Most of them will believe whatever the leaders of their church tell them to believe, like sheep. That's probably why they're referred to as "the flock." If you would stop and really think about this God you've created, you'd have to come to the conclusion that he's a blood thirst monster.

Can faith in an invisable best friend be anything more than blind?
