Blind faith is an essential part of everyday life. Yet this does not justify blind faith in religion! The true thinker accepts what life forces upon him, but will not submit to faith unnecessarily. When crossing a road one has faith that the cars will stop at the red light. This is blind faith perhaps, but it is supported by experience, and more importantly is necessary if one is to cross the road. Religious faith on the other hand is totally uncalled for, and is an irresponsible waste of human life.
That Christianity is nothing but an evil broth thrown together to satisfy the masses is illustrated perfectly by a former Dean of St.Pauls Cathedral, London, who once said publicly: "As for repudiating obsolete dogmas, it is very difficult. We have no right to offend these little ones that believe . . . It is perfectly hopeless to try to compose a creed which will satisfy both a learned scholar and his kitchenmaid."
Religious people know nothing about truth or falsity, nor do they wish to. It is useless to mention "blind faith" in their company, for it is a meaningless term to them. They understand only one word, and that word is "satisfaction".
To demand an intellectual conscience of people is to be in the throng of the city as a solitary in the desert . . . the herd are so empty of conscience they will not even hate you.
