In your own words, what is faith?

In mine:

The denial of basic facts and the willingness to persevere in the face of all logic on instruction from a higher power for unknowable reasons.

There’s no shot at converting these people because they already decided the outcome of any logical argument put before them.

To them each incongruous fact is just a weird shaped puzzle piece that’ll fit their world view no matter how contrived.

It’s why cult deprogramming is so incredibly difficult.
