Liz,
You stated in your post that,"The fact is that religion has to be based on blind faith and in many cases ignorance."
When you say that religion (has) to be based on blind faith, are you saying that religion can (never) be based on something that is real to a person, such as the answer to a prayer, or the visit to that person by God in the form of a human, or a vision , or a miracle in the life of a person? Could you also give me an example of what you consider to be "ignorance" in the "many cases" that you are referring to? If you could do that, then I could have a better idea of what you are referring to and, perhaps, we could have a discussion that would be of some benifit to the readers of this thread.
Sincerely,
Lou
