Your Realization is wrong.
It only seems to you to be time to jump into theology because you are infantile, misguided and lacking in fundamental facility for critical thinking.
Theology never offers any real answers. Nor can it ever. It contains no mechanism whatsoever for searching for material truth outside human psychology. It is all about calculating what lies and crass fiction dovetails best with common human cognitive deficits and thus can must likely be used as unifying element for forming cults.
Here, too, I would have to disagree that faith, blind or not, is an example of infantilism or lack of critical thought. Underdetermination of theory as well as Quine's radical translation thesis make it clear that even science isn't above adding a little something extra on the top that isn't explicitly required. The Duhem-Quine thesis also makes clear that a certain kind of holism that is essentially blind is required to draw any scientific conclusion. From a priori truths to the metaphysics of quantum mechanics interpretations, leaping to unjustified conclusion is not something confined to the lame or underaged, it is part and parcel of what we do. I think the crux of the matter lies elsewhere than simply focusing on whether the faith is blind or not.

But, if you really were, you would just apply simple logic and realize how obvious it is that God exists. And be specific with your insults. What do you claim I not understand exactly?
The thesis that someone is inferior to you because they differ with you on one or more subjects is fatally flawed, and only a moron would think otherwise.

The abuser even freaked out and said "Where did you go?" Then I had the incredible experience with another person where a huge presense of good energy was in the room with us. Like I said, he mentioned it first, which gave me even more confirmation. I have had the making love experience. I have had an unseen force grab my steering wheel and prevent an accident when I fell asleep driving. And I could go on and on with this. I haven't even mentioned any of the signs and I have had like 40 of them that there is no logical explanation for. Anyway, I am beyond convinced and someday you will be too.
OBEs and NDEs are eminently impeachable for reasons that I'd be happy to explain if you so require. So far I am not seeing any of these allegedly inexplicable and improbable events. I asked for specifics of such from you, and you have not provided any
