Does God stand on his own merits…




…or do you accept only on faith?

Faith is a cop-out.  It is intellectual bankruptcy.  If the only way you can accept an assertion is by faith, then you are conceding that it can’t be taken on its own merits.

    That is a powerful quote. I will have to remember it. Thanks for putting it out there.

    I don’t quite get how he is using faith as a definition here? Am I missing something here?
