aim is to show that belief in miracle reports is not rational, but that “our most holy religion is founded on Faith, not on reason.”[36] Hume surely intends some irony here, however, since he concludes by saying that anyone who embraces a belief in miracles based on faith is conscious of “a continued miracle in his own person, which subverts all the principles of his understanding”;[37] this is very far from an endorsement of a faith-based belief in miracles.
