| On the pickle issue by the way . Your friend's fear of pickles has a definite reason based cause. It is clearly due to some sort of physiological/chemical event taking place in their brain. We may not yet have the tools to find the exact nature of that event but we are getting closer and may someday get there. Certainly humans do not always act 'reasonably' . No one will disagree with that but in no way does the human's inability to act reasonably have any impact on the comparison of the concept of reason vs the concepts of theism and superstition. |
