He may believe that such a person as is called Jesus (for Christ was not his name) was born and grew to be a man, because it is no more than a natural and probable case. But who is to prove he is the son of God, that he was begotten by the Holy Ghost? Of these things there can be no proof; and that which admits not of proof, and is against the laws of probability and the order of nature, which God Himself has established, is not an object for belief. God has not given man reason to embarrass him, but to prevent his being imposed upon.Okay, now I'm convinced that my faith is illogical and a lie....

Faith based on reason instead of dogma can not confused by apparent contradictions that are found in revelatory books and Bibles written by men.
Such reason based faith could never be "illogical and a lie"
Look to the nature of creation...In it you will see the reflection of God.
After all, blind faith is still blind.
