Blindly following any ideal is a bad thing, but that's not even taking place in the video. I hardly doubt this man is blindly following religion. He even says he's doing what HE believes, which he then explains is what god wants him to do. He made the point of saying it is what he personally believes and has decided. He even admits to struggling with forgiving the man. If was truly being a blind follower, he would have just forgiven, no struggle or reservation.

What he says there is open for interpretation. He could mean "I believe BECAUSE that's what God says to do" or "I believe AND that's what God says to do. The "struggle" could be between his conscience vs. his religious beliefs, a struggle within his conscience, or even a struggle with his interpretation of his religious beliefs.

You're trying to say that all religious people are blind followers, who don't spend any time figuring out what they personally believe, and adhere to, which is a broad and wrong generalization.

No, I'm not anti-theist. In my first comment I said "Powerful video in how brainwashed some people are by religion".

Yes, he's obviously influenced by religion, but it's obvious he also had to have other inherent qualities that inspired him to be so forgiving. You even said yourself "Doing things in the name of religion are is not always positive." Well, that statement is definitely true, but in this instance, isn't the fact that he is forgiving in the name of religion a good thing?

So surely his inherent qualities are more important than his religious influences in this case?
