But you can't reject everything that isn't irrational. Where do you draw the line? A man catching a football has to have faith that the ground is still there in front of him as he looks over his shoulder. There are plenty of every day things that require some form of irrational faith, even if it's small. How do know when to be rational? It seems like madness
Well unless your in Florida and a sink hole opens up the ground will be under you and I tend to watch where I'm running. I'm talking faith in something my 5 senses can prove is there.
Well for one, the brain is very deceptive and often just makes stuff up so that everything keeps making sense. Second, we often act without any sensory input whatsoever. Maybe you reach for something without looking because you're confident it's still there. That's an act of faith. You don't know for certain that it's still there. All I'm asking is, where do you draw the line? Where's the balance between faith and rationality for you? I'm honestly curious. Not attacking your life choices
You're barking up the wrong tree. For me to believe in god would be for an 18 year old to believe in santa or the easter bunny when they've figured it out. Not a chance. Quit it. I'm done, next step is to block you.
