Yes, twist of logic. Faith trumps logic here, because my faith will save me from hell. I do believe that I won't survive if I jump off a bridge and die, logic tells me I won't survive. But faith tells me I will go to heaven, a much better place than this. So faith trumps logic.
That's an easy decision to make. Jumping off a building involves a test of your faith immediately, and everyone will know if your faith was real or not. Depending on faith to deliver on a promise that can't be tested until after death requires no risk, no chance of failure that anyone else will notice. Safe and easy belief.
