"Reason is itself a matter of faith. It is an act of faith to assert that
our thoughts have any relation to reality at all. If you are merely a sceptic, you must sooner or later ask..., 'Why should anything go right; even observation and deduction? Why should not good logic be as misleading as bad logic? They are both movements in the brain of a bewildered ape?' The young sceptic says, 'I have a right to think for myself.' But the older sceptic, the complete sceptic, says, 'I have no right to think for myself; I have no right to think at all.'"

First of all you must understand this,
that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing,
following their own passions.
