Right, so let's explore what this implies. If everything is based, at least at some level, on faith, then doesn't that shift the "what is bullshit" question down a notch to the question of "when is faith justified"?

A: Believing that David Koresh was a prophet is bullshit because it's based on faith.
B: That's an invalid argument because all belief is based on faith in some way.
A: Fair enough. Believing that David Koresh was a prophet is bullshit because having faith in such "truth" is unjustified.
