that is correct, but when you differentiate between "blind" faith and enlightened faith, what you are actually talking about are two different, extremely different things. the blind faith you are saying is the faith and the enlightened faith you are talking about is knowlodge. Because when you faith in something, someone, you do not know the facts and evidences behind it. what i am trying to say, is that once you know certain things and believe it then it becomes wisdom, knowledge just like Einstein or myself out of physics class. however, if you completely believe in something, someone without facts and evidence then that is faith. Just like Pope or myself out of a temple. We can however put it this way. A blind belief is a faith; factual belief is knowledge. Because if you can't believe in something blindly it is no more faith. But if you insist believing then that is faith. Only few can revere such faith. And only few can truly understand the questions to answer. Most human linger between these two without reaching anywhere, and thus suffer.
