| Slimebeast said: In Christianity faith consists of both* - belief based on rational evaluation of evidence, and belief based on "blind faith" (your will to believe something, your hope, your attitude). |
Christianity is purely based on faith. There is no rational evidence of what it claims. There is a reason why faith is called blind, because you have to turn off your rational mind. This is why when you are being courted by a missionary that they plead for you to open up your heart. Why? Because the mind is not what they are appealing to. Its the emotions. Historically speaking science and Christianity have been at odds for the longest (even though some scientists were christians). Involving yourself in science against the word of the church in the old days was considered heresey.
