Sorry if it sounds confusing...
I do believe the Bible, but I don't think my belief towards it has anything to do with the issue. You claimed that religion is based on blind faith, and you brought up the accounts of Abraham and Job as examples. But you said you don't believe they ever really happened. So how are they illustrations of blind faith?
anyway..my examples perfectly exhibit blind faith..sa story pa lang daan ni abraham..if wla syay blind faith sa ginoo..then he shoud've asked why man nimo ipapatay ang akoang bugtong anak wherein mao man lang nai akoang gipangayo nmo..and si isaac pd mismo wla lang pd qualms knowing that he'd be killed by his father..now if dli na blind faith sa imoha..then i don't know what's your definition of blind faith dude.
But you said a while back that you don't believe that story... Now, it seems you're again presupposing that the story is true. Am I wrong? If we suppose that the story is true, or if we really believe that the story is true, then we're believing that God really did exist and that he spoke to Abraham. If God really did speak to Abraham and Abraham knew that it was God who spoke to him, then he had good reasons for trusting in him, don't you think?
