Or rather inconvenient since it does not lend itself to rationalist or materialist refutation.
Rationality is the God of scientistic devotees. They've swapped one God for another, and some might say have been short changed.

Rhetoric with no substance, but it makes you feel better to think that everybody is equally irrational. Sleep well.
You seem to feel better believing there are definite answers and we can find them. I admire your optimism.
" Is it the rational intellectual honesty that bothers you the most ? "
- YES lol
- LisaRaye "the belief in the religion was a usefully construct, as it explained away the bad things in the world (Don't worry about anything, God will fix that!), and held out a hope of life in the JW "lion petting" paradise. "
This is exactly the feeling I had
I think it is disappointing to see two of my favourite posters Tal and cofty being like this. I think they are both intellectually honest people. And I will always have a deep respect for both of them. Personally I think they just have a different approach to situations. Thats life. We are all different. We all have our moments. But overall, I think both posters have great discussions. I have learnt a lot from both of them. And I am glad they were both here when I needed their wisdom and insight.

Being like what? I've never said a bad word against Talesin.
Just the negative feelings cofty...it wasn't a criticism. And to be honest. I haven't seen you say anything bad about tal. I'm not really sure what that is all about. But when I see it...it always makes me cringe. Because I enjoy both of your posts. And have learnt so much from both of you.
Tal has contempt for me and she feels the need to shout about it on a regular basis - I couldn't care less.
The past few pages since then have been very interesting.
Fascinating...
