You're really arguing against "rationalization".Exactly. I do not think that I am capable of making rational decisions on my own. I need a basis for making them and that basis is the Bible.

I do not think that I am capable of making rational decisions on my own.Hmmmmm... Well, maybe you would appreciate the long-term security and certainty that comes from a guaranteed, non-rescindable, lifetime employment situation.

"I do not think that I am capable of making rational decisions on my own."
Finally, something we can all agree on! :)

If you can't make rational decisions on your own, how did you choose to have the Bible as your authority? Did it have a pretty cover? Did you blindfold yourself and throw darts at a dartboard covered with the names of sacred texts?
Was there someone whispering into your head telling you what to do? (If so, don't listen to the German Shepard)
Do your family and neighbors know you can't make rational decisions on your own? Should we contact your boss? Most people who can't make rational decisions for themselves are put into mental institutions as a protection for them and others. If the government decided to check you into one on the basis of your admission that you can't make rational decisions, would you have a moral argument against them?
So many questions, so little time.

I do not think that I am capable of making rational decisions on my own. Finding common ground?
