Faith

"'Faith' means not wanting to know what is true." -Friedrich Nietzsche "Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved." -Tim Minchin "Faith is a cop-out. 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." -Dan Barker "Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence." - Richard Dawkins
