I've come across a very powerful and perplexing quote recently which stated:
"...Even rationality is grounded in a leap of intutition. There is no way to rationally prove that rationallity is a good way to look at the world. We intue it - that it is very helpful. And as we know, according to Pascal, the end point of rationallity is to demonstrate the limits to rationality."
If this statement is correct then there exists no grounds to say that thinking irrationally - or any method of thought other than rational - is not only possible, but allowable in the context of thought and feeling.
If this deduction can be made then the common argument against the irrationality of God becomes moot. I'd be interested in hearing other's opinions on the topic as I'm still very much confused as to my stance.

Brevity is the soul of wit.
