I am so grateful for your outstanding essay-post, dearest sister in Christ, because you explain so well why atheism is not rational - and the consequences of the atheist mindset.

And I owe you an apology. You are the one who originally pointed out that the root of the word "rational" is "ratio" and I have failed to give you credit for that crucial insight.

As a math geek, once I grasped the depth of it - that atheism has no ground for a relation, no ratio, not even to itself - it was glaringly obvious to me that atheism is irrational.

And atheists call themselves "bright." LOLOL!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Of course!

But then, that’s no fair—

YOU [in contrast to them]

HAVE A BRAIN!

And a very excellent one as well as a Holy Spirit aided and infused one, at that!

It was a very simple idea when it first occurred to me; on further meditation, it struck me as profoundly true.

I'm not the mathematician you are, dear sister in Christ, not by a long shot; but I seem to have some natural affinity for geometry. :^)

Anyhoot, with you and Eugene Wigner, I am impressed by the "unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics" in understanding our world.

I can't tell you how happy I am that your analysis come up with the same result mine did!

But it's not "my" idea really, dearest sister in Christ!

Thank you ever so much for your kind words of support!
