That is truly a hard one, because on one hand, I agree 100% with your definition...Why?? Because it makes since and is logical when broken down....

On the other hand, I see separations of circumstances that can take place merely on a "Beginning faith" that can be labeled irrational through your definition of faith, but when broken down, there was actually a logical reasoning behind the faith which took on more of a rational idea.......

I guess in other words, "A Grey Area" of Faith.......lol
Intelligence is the only true moral guide...
