Well Bart, you are way too smart for me. I suppose Christian belief is irrational. After all, some Jewish guy rising from the dead??? How irrational is that. Of course love is irrational too. Why would anyone commit to another person until they die, promise to care for them in sickness,or in poverty. Even having babies is irrational. The pain, money, inconvienience, life changing babies. Why would a ratonal person choose to have children? Fact is, Bart, we humans are not rational. We attempt to rationalize our irrational behavior. It is entirely rational to believe that Christ died for the redemption of man. Albert Einstein, hardly an irrational man, said we should emulate "Socrates and Christ", but I'm sure youre much smarter than him.
