Rational to Me is Irrational to You

I found the reading a bit confusing and hard to follow. I felt that I had to re-read paragraphs to grasp it and it amost seemed he didn't stay on topic. However I understood the main theme. From the reading, I am able to answer the question"Does a rational outlook to one's surroundings imply the absence of faith in magical rights?'

No because I think I have a rational outlook to my surroundings however, I believe their are many ways in which I could say some of my views are magical. Rationally all people should generally remember where they came from and that is the earth. Therefore we are one with the earth, a part of the earth, and we are the same and no better than any other species. This rational view hides so many magical and scientif rites. Also, it depends on what your definition of rational would be some may say my views are completely irrational and ubserd. However, I think that the bible is completely unrealistic and rediculous. A rational outlook on ones surrounding depends completely on the persons views, culture and surroundings that they were brought up with.
