You either apply that rule of thinking to every situation where someone says 'just trust me' without a valid reason, and end up getting conned a lot, OR you make an arbitrary decision to apply it to some claims but not others. But since you're talking about blind faith which is by definition and by admission based on no evidence, what is your criteria for arbitrarily deciding which claims to apply blind faith to in your life?*emphasis mine*
Your assumption is that I place faith in everything, I have faith in God only.
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name
No, that wasn't what I assumed if you read my question properly. I asked, assuming (well hoping really... for your sake) that it wasn't the case that you put blind faith in everything, what was your criteria for deciding which claims to apply blind faith to in life? You've here said you only have that sort faith in God... fair enough... but the question was how did you arrive at that decision? To place blind faith in that particular claim over any other? I mean, if the definition of blind faith is that it is based on no evidence, then something else must make you choose to apply blind faith to one claim over another, in this case the god claim.
