There is no universal law, moral law, nor judicial law detailing the amount of rational or skeptical thinking one man can posses or choose to enact upon. This is a choice, your choice, mine.
But what if one's personal decision is irrational?
What's irrational to you, is not always irrational to others. Look at the theist for example. It's up to you to decide for yourself, for only yourself what is deemed irrational or rational. In the long run it won't even matter, we all turn to dust eventually in this short life we all live.
I personally find it irrational to be stuck on defining what means to be irrational with when that logic in its self is irrational. Simply because it doesn't matter lol.
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.
