But we already know that Faith is far more powerful than facts.
With enough Faith, you can create facts, while the opposite is not true. With enough faith, we can create entire industries for the purpose of creating and propagating our elaborate National Myths. With enough Faith, we can create FactsOnTheGround, as the Pilgrims did, as Cortez did in the blood-stained Halls of Montezuma, as Sharon is doing on the hilltops of Samaria. No facts are pre-existing in the world around us, we don't discover facts, we manufacture them. They are ephemeral, malleable, plastic; servants for us to create, use, and discard at will.
First Faith, then Facts. Or Ignorance is Strength. |
