Clifford gives an example of a ship-owner who knows that a ship needs service but based on evidence that the ship has always functioned well, decides to travel anyway. His belief is that God will take care has it has always happened. If the ship that needed repair killed people in the sea, the owner is to blame because he underrated reason. The reasonable thing to do was to repair the ship, but he allowed belief to take over. The belief that is not accompanied by reason can be
