Silly Putty

From Geisler and Turek’s book: “The less evidence you have for your position, the more faith you need to believe it (and vice versa). Faith covers a gap in knowledge”

So in other words, faith is a magic putty that fills the cracks in reasoning, that plugs the holes in logic, that covers a gap in knowledge by making shit up.

And if you press this putty over your favorite Bible verse, it will make a mirror image of it to confuse the devil, leaving you free to worship God in your own way.
