I think it's silly to assume, based on a book written centuries ago that is full of crap, that a God is watching over us all, and simultaneously listening to, and answering our prayers, when there isn't any evidence at all for it. I believe that is irrational. No doubt we all have to have some faith in certain things in our life. For example, I must have faith that my parents are actually my biological parents. I don't know this. I just assume because all the evidence points towards it. On the other hand, there no evidence for a God(s), which Theists believe in. They are irrational, from my point of view, because they think, with absolute certainty(many of them anyways), that there is a God. With no real evidence.
My extrasensory perception is a little skewed, that is very true. I don't believe you can "return" them though.
