We know that many "traditions" from the past can be based on myths or legends so not all traditions are necessarily true. That is why God gave us scripture as our rule of faith. People don't always get things right. God is never wrong

And that, dear lady, is also a myth. Blind belief in the Bible's inerrancy is no different than any other blind belief. You make a brilliant critique of the de fide acceptance, and then turn around and express the same de fide acceptance yourself.

Ah, dear sir, but my faith in God and his revealed word is NOT based on blind faith or belief. To some, who only rely on what they can personally experience with their five senses, it may appear that way. But to those who have ventured to learn what and why they believe, it is certainly logical and right to accept eternal truths even if we cannot see, hear, taste, touch or smell them. "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." (John 20:29).

You believe in gravity, not because you can see it, feel it, hear it or smell it, but because you see its effect and its consistency in nature. Do you examine a chair every time you sit in it to be sure it will hold you up? Yet, some may say this is "blind faith", too. We all exhibit faith in some form or another every day of our lives. Some may not like to call it that, but it is nonetheless.
