Is the following irrational?
A man examines all available scripture, historical sites and artifacts, and conducts a sweeping review of prophecy both supposedly "passed" and that yet to occur. He personally finds that it is more likely than not that these revelations and discoveries are authentic. No, it is entirely rational. He has what he considers a proper set of evidence and makes a decision to believe. At no point is he playing with blind faith. He has evidence that, in his view, satisfies the proper burdens. He is believing based upon his evidentiary conclusions. When you walk into a room for the first time and turn on the light switch, you expect that it is more likely than not that the lights will come on. That is a rational belief supported by your experiences and understanding of reality. The belief is rational. Don't hide the ball by switching rational belief with faith. Lucky: I suspect that you will be far more persuasive in your efforts and appeals if you quit abusing people with expletives and exasperations.

Dagner, if the deficit was the major issue of this election then Gary Johnson would be leading in electoral vote count. It's an issue that most Americans know exists but hope if they just ignore it it will go away.

It won't go away. It's a fake economy built on fiat currency that was built to fail so Keynes could get his global currency the Bancor.

I found it interesting that he sates the uninformed Christian right with "We're all children of the same God," but hasn't been called out on the Mormon view of "God"...which denies one of the central doctrines of Christianity: the belief that there is only one "God".

I knew someone would try to get smart. Tell me where electricity was before and where it would have gone without Benjamin Franklin's experiments?
Hint: he was the 1st and only 1 to do anything tangible with electricity besides rubbing fur to make it stick together.
