Definition: A thought-terminating cliché is a commonly used phrase, sometimes passing as folk wisdom, used to quell cognitive dissonance.
Here's mine: We don't believe that way ..... we are Christians in this home.

By far my favorite is " Jehovah will take care of it in due time" Or the similar " Leave it in Jehovah's hands" , because that usually means that you brought up a point that the other person has no reasonable answers for it.
We can translate either response to mean something like " It seems you are right, but in order to not break my paradise thought bubble, i will end the conversation here, so that i dont embarass myself"
