Not all things in the world are physical. Many things are way beyond our
comprehension. God might be be one of them.

God might not be not something
to be proved or even understood.
It might be something just to be believed.

Rather like meaningfulness of human life. Rather like your willingness to
do good for others.

God might be our faith itself.

But it does not have to be a blind faith. As you well know by now,
I'm against all blind faith.

So, we need to know now
what 'blind' means in this context.
