Overheard

"How do you know it's true?"
"I believe it's true, so it must be true!"
"Wait, what? What's your proof?"
"Proof? That's stupid, you need faith."
"I have faith, faith in proof."
"Proof is falsifiable!"
"Wait, faith isn't more falsifiable? Isn't that what you say when you meet a muslim, that he's worshiping a false god? He has faith, but a false kind."
"Look, you're missing the point. I'm happy, Jesus makes me that way, and I couldn't do it without him. I'm a broken being that only a divine creator could repair."
"How is that not a false faith?"
"What do you mean?"
"How do you know that your belief that you could not fix your brokenness is right? Or that you are a broken being? Or that only a divine creator-god could fix you if you are broken?"
"You're just talking in circles."
