Do we expect too much from human reason?

[KevinM1]

Comfort is irrelevant and meaning is subjective, so the person starts off with empty platitudes and then tries to paint logic with the same brush. It's completely asinine. It's masked by flowery language, but asinine nonetheless.

I also take issue with their "answers the biggest questions" premise. What are those questions? Who or what determines their importance? Are they actually universal?

And, they miss a very important fact: religion has been proven wrong time and again. That it provides comfort and meaning to individuals means absolutely nothing if what it teaches doesn't actually jibe with reality. There's comfort in ignorance. We have a name for it: Dunning-Kruger.

Logic and reason may not give us all the answers, and it may even give us wrong answers, but it's not a stretch to say it's the best tool we currently have. The results alone show that, so no, it's not a matter of faith to think its the best way to approach things. And I don't think that those of us who actually employ logic and reason believe it WILL answer ALL questions. There may be things we simply won't get an answer for. But it's a far better tool than believing in the writings of ancient Middle Eastern people.
