Oh, and the scientific method itself uses a belief system. Now I'm not saying it is a belief system but it applies a belief system which is about how certain people see the world, which again is different for everyone.
Huh?
What is your knowledge of the scientific method? Do you understand what it entails?
Do you understand the concepts of validity and reliability as they apply to the scientific method?
Have you ever thought that rationality itself is actually a belief?
No

looter: We both just need to remember that some people who believe in God are irrational in their belief and others are rational in their belief.
Firstly, I would recommend that you learn the art of speaking for yourself and yourself only. "We both just need" is an inappropriate phrase because you simply don't know my needs. You may need to remember that but I don't.
That aside, I will try to make myself clearer.
Belief is ALL about the irrational.
The scientific method does not require belief. It requires an adherence to basic principles that govern the scientific process. If those principles (rules) have been followed, science does not require belief. Science requires rationality.
Belief requires irrationality. It is the irrational mind that is satisfied emotionally through the process of believing. The brain would like to 'believe' that its belief is based upon rationality...but it simply isn't

Looter, I think we are coming from different places when discussing rationality and irrationality.
I am approaching irrationality as the brain's emotional response as opposed to a logical response. I think of it in terms of rightbrain/leftbrain functioning.
Belief springs from the brain's desire to fulfill its emotional needs (right brain). Logic springs from the left brain's need to be organized and rational - it is concerned with the detail of the material world - the right brain likes a big picture way of perceiving the world. The right brain speaks through emotion - the left brain speaks through the rationality of language.
Belief satisfies our emotional need to stay connected to the material world

looter: Besides, believers think not believing is irrational so it really is just a different mode of thinking.
Yes. It certainly is a different way of thinking.
The difference between rationality and irrationality is that rationality does not require belief.
Think of it this way - it is like going to watch a movie. Our rational minds know that the images, music, plot, characters on the screen are fictitious. In order to engage in the experience of being entertained by the movie, the spectators have to suspend their disbelief.
That is what makes a rational person into a "believer" - the suspension of their disbelief. And that is a conscious choice

looter: It pains me that you think that...
Well, to add to your pain, I have to agree with many of the other posters here. I think that your OP is a word salad that lacks coherence. I think that this reflects the level of frustration you are experiencing in trying to reconcile irrationality with the rational world

kate: Some people like Cofty, are very intelligent in a lot of ways, but may not understand you because they are less able to see your perspective as they have their own perspective they are happy with.
That is a condescending statement
Insulting, in fact
