How about on a small scale? Or does that not qualify? I'll assume it does for now. Are you not significant to any other human being. I'm certain that you are.

That's a rather large conundrum. How is any faith completely and totally 100% rational? Isn't all faith rather irrational but because we own it and hold on to it, to us, it is or does then become rational?
Just a thought.

I think this will come off shallow, but I think what's necessary is a happy medium. I think one needs to realize that we don't know any of it for certain, so to have so much faith that you can't see things any other way is foolish, just as refusing to have any faith whatsoever and therefore shutting the door is foolish as well. (IMO!)
