Logic is a tool to produce true statements from other true statements, and rationality is thus a means to determine how a set goal can be reached. It's not an intrinsic property of any action unless you specify the goal. Those are my two cents.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
