But that doesn't make my statement irrational - it is only irrational if you
feel that having faith in something is a concrete reason to make life-changing
choices based on whatever you have faith in. Which seems pretty irrational to
me.
But my entire point is that I have yet to see anyone provide me enough reason
to believe that God exists.
On a personal note, God has failed me - God has failed to answer my prayers, or
enhance my life, or protect me, or do anything other than just ignore me. If
God exists, then he is ignoring me and my life. So why should I alter my life
to suit him?
There is no end result which says, "Gee, I should give this God thing another
look."
