You don't seek to understand but simply accept it, because it was said.

By your apparent definition, there is no such thing as faith at all. We believe only what we can verify.

I don't know what you mean.

Do you wish to emulate the example of the Prophet in exercising your priesthood authority?

The obvious answer is "yes" but I can't shake the feeling I'm being set up ...

Or do you wish to emulate in a vacuum?

But to get back to your original comment: what does this have to do with blind faith?

Well, if I follow the logic taught within the Church, I would love to know the details of the selection process, so that when I'm a bishop, EQP, or Stake President, I can better attune my process to one who is more practiced in it. When somebody says, "the Lord selected," as if the human element played no role, that's where I differ. Often, I feel and believe that I could have said, "the Lord is pleased with teh choice of X".
