I get your point.
because death is irrational
Human interact according to a constantly evolving rules
it maybe that AS rules of engagement
are more rational than those of the NT because at least my experience showed me that we can sense time and space much more accurately than the average NT
perhaps that was what the poster meant by irrational and the fact that it perceived as NT bashing is part of the NT irrationality
NT are very irrational in many aspect compare to AS
they are constantly contradicting them self and would inflict a lot of damage on their surrounding in order to get things they don't want or need
i find the question totally legitimate and if we want to learn we may have to stop pretend we are so objective and PC and fake tolerance can lead to intolerance

THis is a direct question.
It is impossible to understand things which are based on irrationality.
Therefore, rationality is of utmost importance.
Everything in the universe must have a rational reason for it's existence.
Socialization and many social conventions are irrational and arbitrary.
Therefore it is impossible to understand people.

Rationalize for me the reasons for the existence of humans. Not only on this planet, but in the cosmos at large.
If you were a member of a different species on another planet (more advanced or less so), knowing human history and how we treat each other, would you be excited to hear we'd left our planet and were coming for a visit?
And what's the deal with cockroaches? Why do they exist?
Apparently the universe has a twisted sense of humor. After all the theological debates over which group of humans are supposedly God's favorite, I have to speculate that whatever group of conscious entities God favored most, would be the most numerous and bountifully reproduced on the planet...meaning God must be a cosmic cockroach. Or perhaps a spider. No wonder we're afraid of dying - just imagine what Heaven must be like.
I like you.
A simple question from a religious house guest led me to an expanded discussion of the relativity of Evil from the perspective of an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent God. Being timeless, human birth/death must look like tides.
I also think that God favors the cockroaches. His most successful creation.
I once had a christian tell me that God sacrificed his son for me. I said "Really". God is timeless, right? Yes He knows everything? Yes Then what did he sacrifice? What's 33 years compared to forever? and he got him back, and he knew he would get him back and if he was truly timeless he lives in all times simultaneously, so technically he lived with Jesus while Jesus on earth.
Having fun yet?
