:
I remember having a conversation in church where they would try to explain faith to me. The guy would tell me to look at a chair. He then would say that I have faith that the chair would hold me, and that believing God's word is like that. I told him that I can see the chair. I can see other people sitting in similar chairs. The chair has all four legs. I can also see that the welding is still in place, and doesn't have any cracks in it (metal chair). So, yes. I am fairly certain that the chair will hold my weight, but it isn't by faith. It's by observation. And I also understand that by sitting in the chair, I am taking a chance that it won't hold my weight. So, that gets rid of blind faith altogether.
He tells me that Christians have that with the Bible. So, I tell him, yes. I can see the Bible. I see all of these hypocrites using the Bible. I see that the Bible is filled with unexplainable holes. I can see where Matthew gives one lineage for Jesus, and Luke gives another. So, no. I do not believe that the Bible will hold my weight. Furthermore, it doesn't seem to be holding anyone's weight.

althogh you have good reasons to not have faith I have good reasons to support my faith, like when every time I pray about something it turns out well, I havn't seen the holes that you say are in the bible but me like alot of other christians havn't gotten around to reading the bible cover to cover yet so they may exist, also you may notice that in my first post I mentioned that I am willing to accept that the bible may not be 100% accurate
