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 that weakness is when you have all the scientific, logical, religious, statistical, first person, etc. (basically all the info in the world) available to you, and you do not take everything that is known into account to form your beliefs.
Or to keep your mind open to the possibility that you could not possibly know everything. I think it is a weakness when you hold onto what you were taught growing up, without leaving room for all the other possibilities/beliefs that are out there. Basically, whenever you close your mind to possibilities, then you have a weakness. The hard part, of course, is sifting through all the information for the most logical, proven, etc., information.
