Blind faith doesn't require belief. Belief should carry a proportionate amount of evidence otherwise it's pure trust or blind faith.
The statement implies that once you believe something you cannot change your mind no matter the evidence. Well that clearly isnt true, if you are completely brainwashed it might be true but for most people who are open minded suffient evidence can and often does sway people to believe one way or the other.
For example even the most closed mind people like Christians who used to believe the sun rotated around the earth prior to 1543 Nicolaus Copernicus and later Galileo Galilei who was persecuted by the christian zealots as a heretic. They couldn't be reasoned with even when the evidence was stacked heavily against them. It is only after they began losing members and donations that they started changing their tune but only several hundred years later.
While the Church did not issue a formal apology or pardon in the legal sense, the Pope John Paul II addressed the Galileo case in a 1992 speech to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, expressed regret for the way the affair was managed, stating that the Church had failed to recognize the validity of Galileo’s scientific work at the time.
Now if that is not a cult like behavior I don't know what is.
Imagine denying basic astronomy for over 449 years just because the bible Passages like Joshua 10:12–13 (where Joshua commands the Sun to stand still) and Ecclesiastes 1:5 (which describes the Sun "rising" and "setting") were interpreted literally, suggesting the Sun moves across the sky.
There is a lot to what you are saying, and I am newer to the faith, but I am discussing this both with aLatin Mass Priest and someone who has degrees in biochemistry, evolution studies, theology, physics.
There are differences in certain Christian faiths, as well as even current questionable remarks which say Pope Leo and Francis have said.
What I am told, and this will not go with Protestant per say, is the Bible was more or less written by people influenced by the Holy Spirit.
As far as creation, this is where I talk to the person with the degrees, who is now also Roman Catholic. Having the discussion in the age of earth etc.
Like it being "billions of years old" bs
Since it isn't salvific I don't expect conventionally educated people to even understand why anyone would entertain the possibility....but critical thinking does lead down another path.
I would like to try and discuss most of these questions at hand with utmost respect to anyone asking, however to OP to call something fake, well. I mean, no. It wasn't easy for me to go down this route, I was more or less a pagan, or even atheist at times. There had been a few moments in my life where things had happened that I didn't quite understand, familiarized myself with a few religions, and chosed my own path.
I do not agree with what they call cafeteria Christians, as most of them who support LGBTQ or such which is absolutely against Christian teaching, and remove or bend views where that is acceptable. More ever there has been that kind of behavior in the Catholic Church in the past as well, but I do not let the actions of others define the teachings, nor the faith. I trust in His plan.
