        ""...religions are tough. Either they make no contentions
        which are subject to disproof or they quickly redesign
        doctrine after disproof. The fact that religions can be so
        shamelessly dishonest, so contemptuous of the intelligence
        of their adherents, and still flourish does not speak very
        well for the tough-mindedness of the believers. But it does
        indicate, if a demonstration were needed, that near the core
        of the religious experience is something remarkably
        resistant to rational inquiry."
