It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker argues that debating someone out of a belief is pointless when logic never produced it in the first place. Convictions held for emotional or habitual reasons cannot be dislodged by evidence. Persuasion works only on positions reason built, so argument against unreasoned belief gets nowhere.
