but wait, do we really know everything. obviously not. we struggle with proving just about everything, and naturally humans need for physically and knowable facts in order to believe. but everyday we live in faith, in some sort of another, whether or not you apply yourself to religion.  you have put faith in just about everything you do, and most the times you have little to no actually knowledge about what you are doing or why you are doing *this is everyone* when i went to bed last night and since i have been going to bed for the last 17 years i have some faith that the bed i lay upon will support me and give me comfort. i have a blind faith in every resturant i have ever gone to. i have faith that they wont give me some harmful bacteria laced food.  i have faith that toyota will build quality cars so i wont fall through the bottom, or that the engine wont combust while driving. the list goes on. we have become adapted to our everyday blessings, to our everyday routine and have developed a sort of blind faith that it will continue as plan. so what i struggle with is how a unblind faith, a faith that makes itself evident as the wind among the trees, is so unattractive to a society where blind faith is the norm. : )
