You seem to understand what rationality is about as well as you do the word contradiction. My views are rational because I reason consistently from my ultimate axiom to my conclusions. I can justify my presuppositions with my ultimate axiom. I am consistent with how I discern truth. On the other hand, your presuppositions are not consistent with your ultimate axiom, you cannot even justify many of them which violates the principle of sufficient reason. You borrow from other worldviews whenever you cannot reconcile your beliefs with your own worldview. You are in fact a very irrational person.
On a side note, I do not believe in three persons that are one being, I believe in three persons that are one in essence. I do not believe in a talking snake, I believe that Satan took the form of a serpent when he spoke to Eve. Christ’s atonement makes perfect sense given God’s gracious and yet wholly just character. You merely asserting these beliefs are irrational of course does not make them so. You would have to demonstrate how they are either inconsistent with my presuppositions and/or worldview, or violate a logical principle. Considering that some of the greatest logicians of all time were Christians, I highly doubt you will have much luck.
