Credo quia absurdum
Credo quia absurdum is a Latin phrase that means "I believe because it is absurd."It is a paraphrase of a statement in Tertullian's work De Carne Christi (ca. 203-206), "prorsus credibile est, quia ineptum est", which can be translated: "it is by all means to be believed, because it is absurd". The context is a defence of the tenets of orthodox Christianity against docetism: The phrase inspired a celebrated bon mot by H.L. Mencken: "Tertullian is credited with the motto 'Credo quia absurdum' -- 'I believe because it is impossible'. Needless to say, he began life as a lawyer."
