Blind faith
I haven’t had the time to create the sermons I would like to put here, but recent events in the news compel me to comment on the followers of faith healing that take it to such extremes that they let children die painful deaths rather than get them basic modern medical care in the misguided belief that “it’s work of the devil”.
Ask yourself what sounds more like the devil’s work:
- Tricking you into believing that sitting by and doing nothing while you watch a loved one suffer a painful death is a good thing
- Figuring out what causes illnesses and how to cure them and save people’s lives
Is a deity who requires you to do the former someone you really feel is worthy of worship? What does that say about you as a person, given that you have so may choices in what to believe, none of which have any real claim to be “more right”?
If you believe in blind faith, you will be led around in the dark by those who choose to see, and you may not be taken where you would otherwise choose…
