    And not just without proof, but to ignore proof if you see it!

    Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

    Proverbs 28:26 26 Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe.
