Thank you for your question. I wish to apologies to Third P and to the public for insinuating that he was just a student who was trying to cut corners by asking philosophy questions on Y/A. It was my mistake. I now understand he is just as curious about life and philosophy as all of us.
To answer his question. We are all in the dark so to speak about ALL matters. It is precisely this reason why we had to rely on outside deities to help us along the way. Without it we be forever in the dark. Having this faith in an outside deity helps us to cope with our world. Blind faith implies ignorance and rejection to all other answers. SO, to answer the question, YES.
Thank you

To error is human. Men are not blinded by faith, they are born in faith blind and learn from there on. Ignorance and fear are for enemies, Gods are for hope.
The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.

Hi,
Yes. Not so much 'blinded' as 'aware' but 'fearful of the consequences' if they change their faith/beliefs. Some Christians I knew started questionning my beliefs and showed immense interest in the idea that there were many paths to God and something of interest in many other religions. However in the end they admitted that they dare not veer from the path they were on because they had to believe in Jesus, to get to God. If they didn't they would burn in Hell and they just couldn't take that risk. Their fear ruled their faith and blinded them to other possibilities.

People need to be blinded in their faith by following their common sense (gods):
There are men blinded in their faith,
The blinded ones is blinded if and only if they follow their fear,
So, the fear results from the ignorance.

We know that no presence could not produce any real existence. Accordingly, we recognised that there was some sort of real presence, and that the scratch could not produce any real existence
That must be something there since time immemorial as long as everything that is not since time immemorial has a beginning, and everything has a beginning must be a result of something other.
When we realize this will become sure that there is only one thing exist who has the power and the knowledge ,who is the source of all things. this is the creator, this is the god.
thanks yahoo

Ignorance and fear did not create god, mans transcendental longing finallly real;ised god. Ignorance and fear was associated woith god by the so called custodians of religon, for which god is not to blame, man is to be blamed. Even among the terrorists, god has simply no part or role, it is man made fear through keeping people ignorant.
