The combination of "Reason is the Devil's bride and whore," "The Devil will quote scripture for his own purposes," and "The Lord moves in mysterious ways," beats any rational argument for the non-existence of God; beats any example of biblical inconsistency; beats any collection of examples of what a petty, mean-spirited, insecure, vain, murderous bastard the Jewish/Christian/Muslim God is.
