| Akvod said: Bah, there's no way to cancel a post. This is in reply to dtewi Faith is bad because it is irrational. It is always a good thing to be able to at least explain yourself. Rationalism, is what seperates us from the automatic machine or instinctual animal. Rationalism is what tells us to not immedeiately bite into that cake. Rationalism is what tells us to save up money. Rationalism is what makes us act in a orderly fashion, rather than chaoticly.

Within Rationalism (In a philosophical sense) it says that we inherit innate categories such as grammer, space/time and even an innate idea of god. In which can embrace or repress (Chomsky trigger argument).
How is faith seen as irrational? The examples your using really doesn't correspond with any religious beliefs, your more or your less belittling it.
