Is it blind faith?

       “hail mary,full of grace,the lord is with you..

        …pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.amen”

The prayer which i recite from my school days.Im still oscillating between hinduism and christianity.Because the bond which the christian missionary created in me is so strong,me being a hindu.Whether it be a rosery or    rudhraksha ,the purpose is to feel divinity.Nonetheless most of us are agnotic theists.We don’t question the existence of God but still we believe in him.All of our knowledge about his existence is what we hear and it is being passed on for ages.here is an incident for you..

  when i was doing my 11th grade i went to a parlor for a hair-cut.Since the lady of the salon was yet to come,i started talking with a young lady who was cleaning the salon(i assume that she is the assisstant),since only two of us were there.I dont remember how,but the talk diverted towards religion.She herself told me that she is a transformed christian.I was very curious to know why she switched religion.What she said trembled me.She said that she was possessed by a soul and that she was taken to many temples but found no cure.Then a baptistic priest visited her house.He sprinkled holy water on her and soon,she was alright.i felt like running out of the parlor(the way she stared at me was very scary)..But thank God,another customer came in.As soon as i returned home,i narrated the whole story to my mom,to know what she feels.But then she was so convincing and made me understand that nothing of that sort exists.Phew!

 will continue in the next post:)
