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.
But this leads to a rather curious state of affairs, where what anybody does is rational to them. Even the theist. Even the murderer. Even the rapist.
We need some measure of objectivity to call certain things objectively bad or wrong, don't we?
