"unquestioning obedience and mindless worship"
What a presumption of the christian faith. I don't think you could find one believer that was positive and wholly sure of his belief and faith. You couldn't, they would be liars. We all struggle and can always contend with the opposite of faith and even reason, we all do it. Most of who we are and how were brought up is based on missed impulses and mimetic desire. I think it comes down to curiosity and what you find because of it but it is just an emotion as well. I think you should rule it out because you think you have to stop thinking and living life, it just comes down to how curious you are about what really is true.
Min, i actually prefer batman because he could actually be real if someone wanted to be him.
