What makes us Christians is an irrational belief (or hope) in bodily resurrection.

So kosta50, are you a Christian or a Jew? (I.e., do you believe in bodily resurrection or not?)

I get the impression you don't much care for the "irrational".... And like Doubting Thomas, require convincing proof of the things you'd like to believe.

But faith itself is "irrational" -- at least in the sense that it is the evidence of things unseen, yet nonetheless known (yes I know, this is a paradox).

It certainly seems that way - not unlike many of our correspondents on the science threads.

I believe it but it is wholly irrational.
