Rationality has
several sides, not only one. It has a material and scientific side, a psychological
side, a moral side, and a social side. Each side has its logic.
Materialists
and atheists take only the materialistic side of rationality, and try to
understand the whole of religion and morality coercively through this
materialistic side only, otherwise they won't. So they have a methodological
error.
What proves
that their generalization of the materialistic side is wrong, is that they
can't generalize it on their own lives. They can't blend empoisoned bugs and
eat it as a protein-rich meal! Even though it is a materialistic fact!
Materialists
can't despise all morals, also they don't hate being treated morally by others,
although materialistic logic doesn't value morals, because morality requires
giving without guaranteeing a payback. Morals are not like selling and buying.
Thus,
generalizing the materialistic logic to all life is wrong, because man is not
only matter. From the immaterial part in man arises religion, morals, taste and
beauty, which often go against materialistic logic. Taste, for example, detests
eating bugs.
Taste emanates
from the humane part in man, not imposed from the outside, the same way
materialistic logic emanates from the human mind. Taste makes us select flowers
and put them in our homes, although there is no material benefit from flowers!
Flowers, according to materialistic logic, are nothing but good animal food,
exactly like any other parts of plants!
Materialistic
rationality doesn't let you trust a friend or a spouse unless you are provided
with conclusive proofs daily, such as surveillance cameras or secret reports.
But they don't apply this materialistic rationality on themselves. So,
materialists apply to religion what they don't apply on their daily lives. And
that is a clue showing us that their refusal of religion is a position held prior
to materialistic rationality, i.e. the result preceded the cause, and that's a
outrageous contradiction I wonder how they accept it! A sincere person applies
logic on everything, not selectively.
