David Hume Scottish philosopher and historian 1711_76
Christian religion not only was first attended with miracles but even to this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one. Mere reason is insufficient to convince us of its veracity, and whoever is moved by faith to assent to it, 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.
