I agree. The human heart isn't rational. Acts of heroism are seldom rational. Would a rational person have charged San Juan Hill? Think of a rational opera. It would really suck. No pathos, no passion.

I wouldn't want to be a slave to my rationality either. I'm perfectly capable of suspending it now and again. But my irrationality is mine, chosen by me for my own reasons. I definitely do not want to be a slave to someone else's irrationality, which is what happens when we accept something on faith because somebody else says it is so.
