Faith is idiotic. Anyone who has blind faith is, by definition, not rational. I have no respect whatsoever for the non-rational.
Quote:I heard an interesting commentary from an atheist last year who said that he chooses to hope in reality, in humanity, not in something he cannot see or may never see. He said, there could be a god but there very well may not be, why hope in one?
I don't hope for anything. What is, is. What is not, is not. Part of the basic maturation process is coming to grips with what is and not pretending that what is not, is.
More people need to get that through their heads.
I hope for everything. To me, that is rational.
