[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t rationalize faith just like you can’t rationalize love. Why do people keep loving their children? For the same reason they stay religious. Because they are alive. [/quote]

Lots of people love their children without being religious.  [/quote]

Obviously, but not the point[/quote]

What is the point?[/quote]

That faith, similarly to love, cannot be rationalized. [/quote]

"cannot be rationalized" = "irrational"

I genuinely give you credit for admitting that.  It kind of ends the discussion, if that is your objective.

Although I strongly disagree that love "cannot be rationalized".  A google search of "why do we love" turns up many, many rational explanations, from physiological, evolutionary, societal, and psychological. [/quote]

lol “Google search” is not very convincing. Search for “why love is irrational” and you will find plenty of explanations as well. [/quote]
