it’s incredible to me how someone can take

Reason is a whore… never comes to the aid of spiritual things

and turn it into some weird word salad that has some completely different meaning than what the quote literally says. because, as usual, “oUt Of CoNtExT”

also, who cares who said it? the message is the message regardless if it came from martin luther or some rando pulled it out of their ass 10 minutes ago-- and it’s the direction this country is heading

finally, “a higher standard” of reason-- the people i’m talking about defenestrate reason, logic, facts, evidence-- everything one would use in the process of critical thinking, in favor of faith, which literally means believing something to be true just because you want it to be. there IS NO standard there. using reason AT ALL means one is rising above them

do as you will with whatever you want
