In this episode, caller Dylan argues that faith is rational, even if the beliefs are untrue, because it provides benefits like structure, guidance, community, and love. Hosts Matt Dillahunty and Paulogia challenge him on this view and press him to justify his confidence that Christianity is true. The conversation grows heated when examining the reliability of the Gospels, especially the words attributed to Jesus. Matt points out the contradiction in claiming God ensured the accurate preservation of Jesus' teachings, yet failed to use reliable methods to do so. Dylan ultimately suggests that hardened skeptics like Matt would dismiss even undeniable evidence if God provided it - a claim Matt calls out as a gross rationalization to avoid the lack of good evidence.
