"Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has" - This is an actual photo, not the output of a church sign generator, taken by PZ Myers.

The quote is, in fact, from Martin Luther:

Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but - more frequently than not - struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God.
