In the [[Bible]], blindness is seen as a condition that occurs with extreme old age.  For instance [[Isaac]] loses his sight as he ages leading him to be tricked by his son [[Jacob]] pretending to be [[Esau]].  In the [[New Testament]], [[Jesus]] cured the blind and restored their sight. The blindness of [[athiests]] towards the light of [[God's]] glory is an extensive metaphor for blindness apparent throughout the [[Bible]].
