Your right. People who say they have blind faith are full of shit.
I quoted the Summa because their idea is so simular to mine and they wrote it down first. I also was able to expand my idea a little based on their idea. So I thought I'd give credit were credit is due. I have gained some credibility by not lying and saying it was all my idea. I know it's a bit Beaver Cleaver of me.
ADDENDUM:
This is a philosopher: "I believe only because it makes common sense"
This is religious: "I believe because it feels right"
The idea is that a philosopher bases what he believes on common sense, scientific knowledge and plain old logic. Yes it probably feels right but feelings aren't the basis for his belief.
Religion sometimes makes sense and sometimes doesn't but it is always based on the feelings of its believers.
I don't think I ever disagreed with that third comment.
