Well, if we're to go down that philosophical sinkhole, you had better be
prepared to have all of your best-loved, most cherished beliefs and ideals
shattered.


Why? I'm not saying that we shouldn't hold those beliefs. Just that they
are irrational.

Human beings are irrational. It should be no surprise that human beings
hold irrational beliefs. More importanly, it should be no surprise to find
that other human beings hold different irrational beliefs.

Thus, we must preserve the Mustangs!


You are welcome to hold that irrational belief. I don't happen to share it,
but many people agree with you. They are just as irrational about it as you
are.

My comment was simply one of observation, and I probably wouldn't have even
brought it up except for a handful of people here criticizing religious
beliefs as irrational. As if those people didn't have their own irrational
beliefs.
