Random Thoughts - 8 -Rationality of Secularism
Walk miles around in search of rationality. Its there in every nook and corner. One tends to believe. Are all intelligent people rational? Before all these hunky dory normal questions, does a rational person have to be secular? As a direct question, it should depend on morality more than rationality [without getting into theism/agnosticism/atheism]. According to my morality, yes. But morality is again relative. There are sections of people who do not accept secularism. It is not entirely fair to call all of them irrational, let alone foolish. Some of them know what they want and they know of its implications. They are just people who lack empathy for their fellow humans. They are just evil. [My views are aligned with my moral compass] There are others who are taken advantage of, who do not know of the full implications of their actions, who are sheep. They might be innocent,might be simpletons but they sure are dangerous too. For they often form the body of the great irrational tide that more often than not can be very destructive and/or regressive. History is a great teacher.
