I personally believe there is a difference between faith and common sense. Blind faith may lead to believe Jesus will protect you if you play in traffic, but common sense tells you this is probably NOT a good idea.
I love your line about not presenting an opinion. Experiences, strength and hope SHAPE our opinions not create fact. Before Christopher Columbus proved the world was round, experience, strength and hope illustrated the world was indeed flat.
Religion is one solution to this individuals situation, but common sense indictates there could be another solution (scientific, paranormal). Faith in a higher power is a wonderful thing, but blind faith can just as dangerous to an individual as not having any faith. Jonestown anyone?
