Quote:It is of course a rather commonly held notion by atheists that faith is an excuse theists hide behind to justify what they view as an irrational mode of thinking, a flag to be waved to elevate bad forms of thinking to the status of a virtue.

They did bring that on themselves, Tart.

Quote:Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God.

- Martin Luther

There is no worse screen to block out the Spirit than confidence in our own intelligence.


John Calvin

Understanding is the reward of faith. Therefore seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand.

- St. Augustine
