Correct me if I'm wrong but that would mean a philosophical argument (and that alone) would be enough to call a belief in something rational ... if that is so then no it is not, IMO, sufficient.

Your wrong Cool Shades

Well, you're right as well. Reason works better than evidence in the argument I was having with EvF about whether Rational Faith was an oxymoron or not.

He was saying belief without evidence was irrational and I was saying it wasn't and suggested that it would be better to say that belief without reason would be a better statement...
