DM: What is this reason Krim? And what makes you trust it? 

[Krimel]
The point I have been attempting to makes is that I hold beliefs for all
sorts of reasons. I use reason and rationality to justify holding beliefs.
But more often than not my justification is not reasonable or rational and
the 'reasons' is give are largely irrelevant. I can also justify belief for
emotional, historical or ritual reasons. Belief does not spring from reason
alone. 

In this sense I am a pot, sincere in my belief that Platt's kettle is black.
