Not Faith Domergue or Faith from "Young Goodman Brown" but faith.
You know...faith! The rock of ages, the thing that makes Ted Cruz and Matt Walsh better than you and me. FAITH.
Nothing can stop an honest man with faith. (I understand that faith can be of some use to women as well but I've just been handed a bulletin that says only men have the proper masculine toughness and determination to uphold faith. They must be faithful while frail and easily tempted womanhood, flighty and emotional and surging with—okay the bulletin gets a bit damp and smeared here so I'll stop reading it.)
Faith is what separates the men from the boys (and from the women too I guess) and the brave from the cowardly. There are no atheists in foxholes, as we all know! No matter what the challenge is, a man with faith (sometimes it works for others but MEN really know what faith is all about) can withstand it. Only faith sustains men (or others maybe) in their times of trial. The weak-willed liberals and leftists cling to feeble, effeminate doctrines of social justice and the essential goodness of humanity, but the faithful know that there's only two possibilities in this world: either you have faith and you're armored against sin and temptation, or you don't have faith and you're doomed to wallow in misery. If you have faith you're always sure of yourself, always rooted in the bedrock of belief, and there'll always be someone there to lift you up when you're beset.
And without faith, how could you possibly hope to be rational? C. S. Lewis proved it somewhere—without faith you can't believe in reason at all, because then how could you trust in your own logical propositions? Why without faith, you might not know whether anything in your brain was real at all. Faith must be the only way to be rational then. Anyone who says they're rational without faith is lying to themselves, and must secretly believe in their own secular religion, like "gender ideology" or Marxism, which I understand is much like Gnosticism, or something.
I have written all that, daring myself to write as much as possible about how right-wing people tend to talk about faith.
You may notice that I no point did I answer the implicit question: "faith in WHAT exactly?"
I leave the implications as an exercise to the reader.
