Basically, this is the kind of explanation people give who know diddley about the Bible and don’t believe it anyway but are trying to figure out why it’s important to other people. So they settle on the “it doesn’t make sense but faith is about believing stuff that doesn’t make sense” reasoning.

G.K. Chesterton, in the first ever "Father Brown" short story The Blue Cross, (1910), had a scenario where Fr. Brown was in conversation with another (taller) priest.

The taller priest nodded his bowed head and said:

'Ah, yes, these modern infidels appeal to their reason; but who can look at those millions of worlds and not feel that there may well be wonderful universes above us where reason is utterly unreasonable?'

'No,' said the other priest; 'reason is always reasonable, even in the last limbo, in the lost borderland of things. I know that people charge the Church with lowering reason, but it is just the other way. Alone on earth, the Church makes reason really supreme. Alone on earth, the Church affirms that God himself is bound by reason.'

The other priest raised his austere face to the spangled sky and said:

'Yet who knows if in that infinite universe -- ?'

'Only infinite physically,' said the little priest, turning sharply in his seat, 'not infinite in the sense of escaping from the laws of truth.'

...

[I]t was again Father Brown who was speaking:

'Reason and justice grip the remotest and the loneliest star. Look at those stars. Don't they look as if they were single diamonds and sapphires? Well, you can imagine any mad botany or geology you please. Think of forests of adamant with leaves of brilliants. Think the moon is a blue moon, a single elephantine sapphire. But don't fancy that all that frantic astronomy would make the smallest difference to the reason and justice of conduct. On plains of opal, under cliffs cut out of pearl, you would still find a notice-board, `Thou shalt not steal.''

... When at last [the taller priest] did speak, he said simply, his head bowed and his hands on his knees:

'Well, I think that other worlds may perhaps rise higher than our reason. The mystery of heaven is unfathomable, and I for one can only bow my head.'

The twist is that "the taller priest" is actually a master criminal dressed up in soutane and dog-collar who has lured Father Brown out into a remote spot in order to rob him of a sapphire cross. But Brown has not only outwitted the criminal, he cheerfully tells him that he wasn't fooled by the latter's pretence for a moment:

But, as a matter of fact, another part of my trade, too, made me sure you weren't a priest.'

'What?' asked the thief, almost gaping.

'You attacked reason,' said Father Brown. 'It's bad theology.'
