We agree, you are just using the word 'faith' differently than myself and arguably most of Christian history.

If you read the epistles the sort of faith you describe is not commended. Paul specifically calls out people who are zealous without knowledge, and on the other hand tells everyone to test everything they are told. He also rests all of Christianity on whether Jesus actually rose from the dead or not. He believed that Jesus actually did based on his own vision and the accounts of the others he met that had been with Jesus while Jesus was alive. So, none of Paul's beliefs were based on the blind faith you describe.
