I'd say the gospel of doubt, i.e., Cartesian doubt.

Isaiah 28:10
For precept must be upon precept,
 precept upon precept;
 line upon line,
 line upon line;
 here a little,
 and there a little:


But just down a bit from that is a greater context:

Isaiah 28:13
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept,
 precept upon precept;
 line upon line,
 line upon line;
 here a little,
 and there a little;
 that they might go,
 and fall backward,
 and be broken,
 and snared,
 and taken.


Yours truly,
