Funny that I remember the Chicago UBF messages and so-called testimonies being the most superficial things I ever heard in my life. That tends to happen when you have to recycle the same messages and testimonies over and over again.

Other attacks against sound reasoning and thinking that you might hear frequently in UBF messages include sayings like "one act of faith is better than 1000 theological arguments" (explains the utter lack of formal biblical scholarship or study in UBF) and "the dictionary defines 'smart' as 'to cause a sharp stinging pain'" (in other words, don't be too "smart", turn off your mind, and listen to us).
