Probably drawing a line where it doesn't exist. You appear to believe that decisions based upon your beliefs, which guide your life, are rational. That it's reasonable, for example..to seek and affirm happiness over truth. I think you're right, now you just have to let yourself be. It's pointless to try and convince people that you're a complete loon - as the argument assaults it's own premise on account of being an argument, as angrboda pointed out..and even if you succeeded....well....
I think this is one of the bigger gaps on the boards, from the pov of convos. The notion is that religious beliefs are other-than...even you, a religious person, are here arguing as much. We get apologist after apologist excusing their beliefs from these grounds. Let's run with it, though. Your religious beliefs..are irrational or a-rational..and don't need to be rational. Fine. What if some other persons religious beliefs did need to be and were rational, and were true?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
