If that's not part of the definitions of 'irrational' and 'closed-minded', it bloody well ought to be.
so now we go full circle when I say If your not trying to prove something then there is no burden of proof and with a world view that allows me to include faith as part of my experience I have no hang ups on burden of proofs and am free using the full range of my human being from the analytical to the intuitive from the objective to the subjective to make
up my mind on any issue. And for those who would therefore want to automatically hit the hot key for flying unicorns now, nowhere in that statement did I say I gave up my analytical skills or that my intuition is the only tools I use.
