I believe Scripture. Why?
Therefore, those reports that contradict Scripture are wrong.
No. Therefore, you do not believe in those reports that contradict Scripture. Your belief does not make something true. Really.

The way to get rid of blind faith is to follow the teaching of 1 Thessalonians 5:21, "Test all things. Hold fast to that which is good."
We may have given the Death by Irony Overdose award out too soon this month... Granted, this doesn't have the sheer "Do you think when you type or just headbutt the keyboard?" factor of JohnR7, but it's got its own merits.
And do you think that the Kingdom of God is like Las Vegas, that you´re going to have a free trip?. Sorry, but if you believe, you believe. If not, it is a death by irony overdose. You can have blind faith OR, you can, like me, try to understand the message of love which was given by Jesus, understanding that contradictions to the Bible are logical. AFTER ALL, THEY ARE WRITTEN BY BEDOUINE PEOPLE, not by God. Of course, it´s only my opinion.

Actually, that makes perfect sense. If you want to get rid of your blind faith, kill yourself. A bit harsh for my tastes, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
I believe Scripture.
What part of scripture? It contradicts itself, so you can't believe in the literal truth of the whole thing without a hefty dose of doublethink.

I hate to break it to you, Gabby, but you're not omniscient. The fact that you believe something doesn't mean it's true.
The fact is, scripture is contradicted by a round earth, by bats who are not birds, by the lack of insects with four feet, by the lack of birds with four feet, by the existence of stars that aren't tiny lights in the sky, by the fact that Jesus hasn't returned, by the fact that life is descended from a common ancestor, by the fact that there was no global flood, and by scripture.

Ah, that makes perfect sense. The way to get rid of blind faith is to believe, on blind faith, that you get to go to a magic happy happy land if you have blind faith that an all-powerful magic sky fairy who was his own son sacrificed himself to himself so that he could violate an arbitary rule that he made up and save his creation from his own unjustified anger because he was all-loving, but he'll torture you forever if you don't believe that he did this, and such eternal torture is justified because a magic essence inside you is contaminated with a tendency to irritate him because a rib-woman ate a magic learning fruit at the suggestion of a talking snake. Yep. Nothing silly or irrational about that!
