 Luke's testimony shows that Jesus clearly understood the value of evidence and continually provided “many convincing proofs” (Acts 1:2-3) to His followers so they could record their observations and change the world with their testimony. Jesus commended this process. His words to Thomas were not an affirmation of “blind faith”.

-One of the offshoots of blind faith is anti-intellectualism.  This is rampant in the message.
-If you ask a message believer why they believe the message, they are likely to respond with a simple, “Because I just believe it!”
-A Jehovah’s Witness believes the Watchtower Bible and a Scientologist believes in the writings of L. Ron Hubbard, but that doesn’t make them true.
-The Bible isn’t true because I believe it, the Bible '''is''' true and that’s why I believe it.<ref>Adapted from [http://rockadoodee.com/anti-intellectualism/ Rockadoodee.com]</ref>
