Religious Tolerance

If you cease to use reasoning or behavior that produces beneficial results then you are "without worth" int he simplest sense of the term.

I totally disagree. Even people who don't think rationally, as I would prefer them to do, still have value and worth. Not all knowledge is material and factual.

How we each deal with people is so varied and complex that purging it down to one metric for value is to me a gross oversimplification. I can stand to learn something from any- and everyone, regardless of their standpoint on reason, faith, or any other modality of thinking.

If reason alone is the metric for worthiness as a human, would you find Deep Blue more worthy than Kasparov?
