Faith... is a corruption of the mind. It's a lazy way of accepting something, without investigating its logic and evidence for belief.

Do you know the limitless number of things you can believe in with faith? Scientology is one of them; where the close circular internal logic has the people believing things like...

Xenu a galactic overlord took billions of people from his overcrowded worlds upon DC-8s retrofitted with jet engines, and took them to earth, placing them around volcanos and blowing them up with thermonuclear devices, causing them to become angry, sad, restless souls called thetans, who were then brain washed and caused an identity confusion that causes many of them to think they're the same person; with multiple thetans clinging to the same person, and that to become a healthy body and soul, you need to purge those thetans.

That's great internal logic, but it absolutely crumbles under the weight of any external logic and requests for material evidence.

I think this is quickly becoming a variant of Godwin's Law. Not that I disagree, but...
