From here. 4.55s in.

Whilst it's true to say that faith is not founded in reason...what reason does is to assure the individual that faith is not unreasonable.

I'll give a little on this - it's not a direct contradiction. But it still seems very weak: akin to arguing that faith is a bit of intellectual glue that patches up the deficiencies in other arguments.

The question remains: why faith? If faith is a good way of supporting my rational aruments, why isn't standing on one leg singing Kylie Minogue an equally good method?
