You can’t obey if you don’t have blind faith.

Abraham knew higher power can bring that life back.

Obedience or blind faith is definitely not for me. Maybe that's why I can't identify with it.

Not for me either, well the blind faith part, and I am catholic. I was born into it but everything I questioned for myself in terms of morality and philosophy turned out to be exactly what the church has been saying forever. Even when I thought I found something they got wrong, it just turned out that my teachers had failed to relay what the actual documentation said.

I realized that 99% of successfully navigating life is using a lookup table to be able to respond to situations quickly. I can and should reason stuff out for myself to build my table, but situations vastly outstrip and out pace my ability to reason about each instance. Faith is a cheat code allowing you to crib a bunch of other people's hard work. I don't feel bad cribbing from a faith that is batting 1000 for the things I have pondered my way through.
