I would say trying to rate humans irrationality is not better then trying to count all the sand grain on a beach :P

Well, clearly it's the irrational man irationally applying irrationality to an irrational question. Irrational.

How irrational of you.

At least the man who believes in god isn't wasting his time on something that doesn't make him anything but happy. Being offended by things is a waste of time unless they're blatantly against you (and even then, it's usually easy enough to just ignore and move on with your life.)

Not irrational, intolerant. btw - those two are usually the same person if you think of it.

While I don't dispute faith, from my experience I might say people who believe and participate in some form of organized cult think they have the moral high ground. And that's dangerous, that leads to fundamentalism, religious chauvinism and threatens the separation of church and state.

And then there's the whole lot of people that believe bronze age texts literally :/ Each time I hear about them I think humanity has made a step backwards :/

those who believe in god might be irrational, but at least they are just lookign for explanations to things inexplainable. those who get offended by a god they don't believe in have a serious behavioural problem and should calm down goddammit. those are usually also those who get irritated by all things that either are none of their business, or can't be helped at all.

and then there are the bigotrists. but let's not get started on those.

here's one for you:

what's the difference between a stork?

The former is *somewhat* logically irrational, because how would you know the god exists; how do you prove something that cannot be seen can exist.
The latter is emotionally irrational, because there is no point in being angry about something that cannot be logically explained (at least within the scientific manner)... unless they're being angry at people who believe in a specific ideology, yet these believers do things/behave that act contrary to the ideologies they believe in.

Classical case of the clash between the spiritually-inclined and the analytically-defined. Definitely not unusual, as it was already taught at high-school.

You can't physically see gravity, but we know it's there and we know it exists. x)

-Psysically. That word doesn't make sense in the sentence. 8I

I personally say the latter is being more irrational.
Is it crazy and irrational for people to believe in some all-powerful guy in the sky? You could say so, yes. But at least those people (the ones who actually believe in a good religion and follow the rules of it. Not the radical ones who use religion as an excuse to kill people or wtfever.) are doing it with a good intention, to make their lives happier.

The people out there who want to bitch at people who believe in a god are typically big, fat, gaping assholes. There's absolutely no reason to get SO pissed at something just because they want to believe there's a magical being living somewhere in the unseen sky. They have the right to think they're stupid, sure, but nobody has the right to say someone's beliefs or opinions are wrong or that they shouldn't believe them.

Even though I'm regrettably becoming an angry person, I still think that pointless anger/hatred- especially when it's just directed to any random person you meet- is incredibly stupid.

God I don't think I'm even on topic anymore. I lost the point after the first sentence.

"If there is a God, He is infinitely incomprehensible, since, having neither parts nor limits, He has no affinity to us. We are then incapable of knowing either what He is or if He is...."

Blaise Pascal. He was way more wiser than me, so I decided to replace my blabbering with that quote. And it is NOT a proof that God exists or not, but, I believe, just an answer to your question: who is more rational?

Wikipedia "Pascal's Gambit".

I'm actually rather familiar with Pascal's work, and I recently read an article that cited his words on the the need for God or not. When I get back from Canada I'll find the article and tell you some things about it.

I believe I can enjoy a good discussion ;)
