If some of the bible e.g. facts are verified, at least christainity would not be based on blind faith. Blind faith and faith with some basis are two different animals. An economist saying "I have faith in the U.S. capital markets because it has demonstrated resiliency over the years" could hardly be called blind faith. Although, he could still be wrong, which means that his basis is not 100% foolproof.
To say that a belief is blind faith is to say that it has no reasonable ground from which to base one's belief e.g. the moon is made up of marshmallow.
I agree with you. And this is the type of faith (blind faith) that is objective.
However, if something is not blind faith, but faith with a "resonable foundation", then it is not objective. Objectivity is only based on personal bias. Christianity is not soley based on lone rangers and their emotions.
