Christians; Do you consider your belief in god to be rational or irrational?

I agree 100% with the beliefs you stated, but that does not make them arational or irrational. I started reading the Seth Material as it came out in the 60s (having been living in Elmira where Jane lived. You are using Seth terms so I assume you are familiar).

Though when I manifest something I want, I cannot prove to you that I personally manifested it. But having decided to apply the Seth concepts to my life 30 years ago (the 80s), I can say that I have manifested with so much proficiency that though it is subjective proof, for me is is indisputable. As part of my self-exploration, I spent a fair amount of time examining my beliefs and rooting out the conflicting, outgrown, and untested assumptions.

This was a very rational process and required me to use cognitive thinking skills to recognize that my beliefs were a tormented mess. When I cleaned them up to my satisfaction, life improved immeasurably and I was no longer owned by my emotions because I discovered that an emotional reaction is evidence of a mistaken belief - that I know how to root out. As to other parts of what you speak of, I was so amazed as I recognized how powerful humans are if they care to be deliberate creators/co-creators, I needed an explanation.

So I started studying quantum mechanics and found a theory that is supported by abundant evidence that supports all that I believe. That means my beliefs are rational to at least some extent. Subjective evidence is hard to accept "as" evidence, but when repeated tests over many years consistently give the same results, then it is RATIONAL for me to accept my beliefs.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. When I was a Christian, prayers didn't work. Now that I am free, manifesting works.

It would be irrational to go back to the way of living that didn't work.

I would not agree on this statement as I believe there is a 'truth' and that truth is not subjective. I believe the truth may not be apparent to some people, and that in their eyes there falsehood is true. It's similair to how 1+1=2.. that's the answer.

Some people (hypothetically) may believe that 1+1=3.. but it's not 3.. As far as atheism is concerned it is irrational, and as far as theism is concerned it is rational. Anyone who is an atheist has increased their probability of being irrational, whereas a theist has increased there chance of being rational.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
