Wisdom is not irrational.
Belief is not necessarily wisdom.
Belief is not always truth.
Insight is only rational if proven to be true.
Intelligence is not blind.
Can I think of a word for "irrational belief in an invisible sky entity" ?
Maybe two words or more, blind faith or Hey, religion is my income.
Or, without a God we would only depend on ourselves, so we need to
believe.
Would we feel comfortable seeing a God coming down and tearing up the
landscape whenever something needed to be adjusted? Would humans get very
lazy if the world had no need for us to fix anything? Maybe God would get
sick of "Hey God, I have a pimple on my butt will you please send an angel
down before the game this afternoon?".
