(quote from RealReality.org/Real_Faith_and_Reason_Vol_2_-_Scientia.pdf)

Here’s the idea. Made-up stuff is a sound basis for thought. It doesn’t matter what we call the made-up stuff. We can make ourselves feel more comfortable by using deceptive words for the made-up stuff. We can call made-up stuff “axioms,” “presumptions,” “assumptions,” “basic principles,” “obvious facts,” “givens,” or “common sense.” The idea is made-up stuff is a sound basis for thought. Once we accept that idea, we can make ourselves believe anything. And we can observe the insanity of made-up stuff running out of control in society right now.

What happens if we reject divine revelation and the very real Jesus Christ? If we reject divine revelation from Christ, accepting the idea of made-up stuff becomes the only option. Accepting the idea of a theoretical or theological Christ doesn’t help. Only knowing Christ brings us into sanity.
