In order to have faith in what you believe it must be able to support the weight of your direct experience. If it cannot, then faith faulters, as it should, and new understanding and a new belief must be sought. But the very prospect of being without something to "believe" is so frightening to most that they choose instead to believe "blindly", which is to say that they completely ignore what direct personal experience might tell them, and their support their beliefs instead by elaborate systems of fantastic secondary experiences - in other words, fantasies. I call this "make believing".
