Compare the creed of righteous, pious common folk with the creed of theologians and debaters: you will see that the common man’s belief is like a towering mountain, unmoved by calamities or lightning bolts, while the belief of the theologian who guards his creed with various rational arguments is like a thread blowing to and fro in the wind.

The only exceptions to this are those of them who hear the rational proofs of [the] creed and blindly follow them just as they blindly followed the creed itself to begin with; for when it comes to blind following, there is no difference between learning the proof and learning the thing that it proves. Teaching the evidence is one thing, but deducing evidence through reflection is something very different.
