Already you are living with the Blind Faith.
Always you are relying on external fact that
so and so person is your father, mother.
In fact, even the death is not the experience of your own.
You are believing on what you are seeing
Interesting conversation with Ramana Maharishi will help how much we have blind faith.
R - Ramana
Q - Questionaire
Q: Have you seen God?
R: Why do you seek to know?
Q: If you have seen God I would like you to help me to see God.
R: You say "I wish to see God". First tell me who you are.
Q: My name is Paul.
R: That is your name. But who are you?
Q: I am Paul from Britain.
R: That is where you live, but who are you?
Q: I am a journalist.
R: That is your profession. But who are you?
Q: I belong to "...so-and-so" family.
R: That is your relationship. But who are you?
Q: I am a man.
R: That is your gender. I would like to know who it is that desires to meet God?
Q: It looks as if I do not know myself.
R: First Know your SELF, then you will know everything else.

Surprisingly even as a new born baby on up to six years of age or however long you respected your parents love and authority over you, without question it; you did alright.
Why was it alright then? It was because they saw what was in your best interest at that time.
That same analogy can be used for spiritual guidance. The Bible provides that. I is not blind faith. It is proven experience shown to be trusted and validated through thousands of years of interaction in human nature and cultures.
But to those of us who have met "The Spirit" of the letter of the law we have that same kind of trust we had when we were little children.
This is not blind faith for us. This is spiritual insight that the world and the unbeliever cannot see.

Why do you think faith is 'blind'.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

is is more difficult to have faith in what is seen
if you reason yourself to know the answer you are blind to any other option
putting your self in the position of faith in what is seen alone closes the mind and BOXES in the potential of Spirit
a system of unbelief is as valid of religion as any other and a closed subset..believing in the observed
faith requires the unknown to be existent .for there to be unknown you must surrender to what you can not see
all faith is blind ..
trust is when you are familiar to a known condition [friend ,parent ,god,math, reality]and is not blind but built

It's difficult to have faith when there's the presence of doubt. Doubt keeps us from really ever having faith. The Bible says that with out faith we can do nothing. So what is faith? Hebrews 11:1 says "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Why is faith so important? The Bible says, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is God, and a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6).
So where exactly does faith come from? According to Romans 10:17 "So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." In this verse, we see faith is built upon God's word. If you’re having difficulty with faith then I would strongly encourage you to study God's word. It will be key for you to overcome your doubts.

It only takes your free will choice and a commitment.
Your faith will be tested by darkness with doubt, but faith does not have to be blind. Just the opposite. When you believe it , you will see it. Those who have eyes will see.

Oh yeah! I went by finalizing a divorce, having my mom who became clinically determined with maximum cancers flow in with me throughout her surgical procedure and treatment, financials were a multitude. i became depressed and all-time low and crawled lower back to church. All I did became sit there and cry the first time. As I persevered to flow, I felt a replace, a good one, I let all my believe and faith in Him, there became no longer some thing else i might want to attempt to do on my own. I were given a job that paid an extra 25K a 12 months, my mom's maximum cancers/treatment went properly and she is doing large and the divorce went tender ( what number of human beings can say that!) my ex-husband and that i are good acquaintances now and are partnered up for our boys. certain, I truly believe i did not do it, i could not. It became my faith in God and he helped me.

What makes it easier is that it's not really blind faith, in fact I tend to see more and more evidence for my beliefs every day, when I look outside at the world around me, as well as deep within myself...

Those have blind faith have never tested god to see if he will help them when they are in need. He did not help any of the Holocaust victims of the Nazis for instance, so why should he help anyone else?
