I like virus.
Faith is a lot like a virus.
Once in a while I am accused of using faith in my research, such as having faith that there is DNA in a tube when I cannot even see it. What kind of faith is that classified as?

"Faith is a ????? that contorts one's thought processes to reach a desired conclusion."

Try this, "Faith is the willful assumption of a desired conclusion."

How about

"Faith is a mental leap to contort one's thought processes in order to reach a desired illogical conclusion."

Sad play on words, I know.
