If you want to refrain from reason and instead value belief as a valid and sufficient instrument of assessment, you can believe any world view you like, including Rabbitism. The point is that belief supplies no instrument to compare different beliefs since it requires unconditional acceptance of dogma. And acceptance of dogma from two religions generally leads to severe contradicton. Since you now require reason to assess Rabbitism, but accept belief as a sufficient means to assess christianity you are applying double standards.(November 29, 2009 at 9:57 am)Purple Rabbit Wrote: You don't need convincement, nor logic, you only need belief.

No sorry I need to rationalise first. Why make an exception here? How can I?
