[MD] Are theists irrational?

[markhsmit]

OK Arlo,
So what you are saying is that a system based on science
is has higher morality than a religion based on
moral principles.

Either you are delusional and should get help,
or you are using the word moral in an entirely
new way.  How about if you use the word
"Chipmunk", that way it will not be confusing.

As I said to Mark, understanding the earthquake that hit Haiti as the result of 
geological forces and plate tectonics is a MORALLY SUPERIOR position to 
claiming it is the result of an angry god punishing them evil voodoo 
worshipers.

I'm not quite sure how morals fit in here.  Please explain. 

[Arlo] 
Intellectual patterns (e.g. science) are morally superior to social patterns 
(e.g. theism).
