Your wrong
Actually you're wrong ... well grammatically at least (it's "you're" lol)

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...
Belief without evidence (and especially in spite of the evidence) is irrational.

Again, it depends on how you define and use the word evidence.
Would it be irrational of me to believe that you are male? After all, I have no actual evidence that you are.
