Diez, sorry for chiming in that lately, but while the whole thread is
spilled over for no good reason, your QOTW remembered me on a quote of
R.A.W., that sounds like a perfect fit:
Whatever the Thinker thinks, the Prover will prove.
And if the Thinker thinks passionately enough, the Prover will prove the
thought so conclusively that you will never talk a person out of such a
belief, even if it is something as remarkable as the notion that there is a
gaseous vertebrate of astronomical heft ("GOD") who will spend all eternity
torturing people who do not believe in his religion.
