Setting<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

If you’re an avid reader of #faithbites or follow me on social media, you know that I wrestle with difficult topics. From sex to religion to politics to finance, I’m always wrestling with one thing or another. Often I’m told I’m not liberal enough, not conservative enough, not liberatarian enough, not woke enough, not constitutional enough, not Christian enough, not whatever enough. While I try to be nuanced, I’m not always right and want to learn. When I’m called these things, I often wonder what it would feel like to have blind allegiance to something. That quickly turned me to think about the difference between blind allegiance and blind faith. What does it mean to have allegiance or faith? What does it mean to blindly have allegiance or faith?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allegiance is defined as “loyalty or commitment of a subordinate to a superior or of an individual to a group or cause.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faith is defined as “complete trust or confidence in someone or something.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you have faith and allegiance in something? Can they both be blind? Should they be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you describe your faith and what do you describe allegiance to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
