Cobb's point was this:

Its trivial to convert many systems of faith into propositional calculus and then reduce them to absurdity using Godel's ideas. (For some, this is a terrifying exercise. ) Only a Cynic would think there is value in that or that that is the only value to Godel. Many other people will take comfort in finding that there are questions that cannot be answered by anyone.
