"We may establish it as a maxim that no human testimony can have such force as to prove a miracle and make it a just foundation for any such system of religion"
"whoever is moved by faith to assent to [a religion] is conscious of a continued miracle in his own person which subverts all the principles of his understanding and gives him a determination to believe what is most contrary to custom and experience"
~ Hume, Inquiry I, Section X: Of Miracles
