“Faith strikes me as intellectual laziness.”
“Christianity also stands in opposition to intellectual, as well as physical, health. To doubt becomes sin. 'Faith means not wanting to know what it true' a description that strikes me as stunning and quite exact.”
“Faith is indeed intellectual; it involves an apprehension of certain things as facts; and vain is the modern effort to divorce faith from knowledge. But although faith is intellectual, it is not only intellectual. You cannot have faith without having knowledge; but you will not have faith if you have only knowledge.”
“I wish I was either in your arms full of faith, or that a Thunder bolt would strike me.”
“...She had little patience with people who got intellectually lazy when faced with a difficult concept.”
“There is nothing anti-intellectual in the leap of faith, for faith is not believing without proof but trusting without reservation.”
