This will probably be a very unpopular opinion to many, but you cannot do anything under the auspices of religion and expect your acts to be accepted as a rational. The cat god is not pleased with you whenever you do so...not at all.

LOL, indeed.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
LOL at assigning the human being to rationality. Are those who do not practice religion acting any more rationally than those that do? Nope.
- Mo Kargas
Rational? :) Euclidean geometry was once called rational, you know... and then one day, people knew about hyperbolic and elliptic geometries. And even if this may seem laughable, I'd say that the way most people think that religion is absurd, nowadays, is the Euclidean way.
- directeur
Yes, rational. Doing something because it makes the most sense for all of humanity, not because it feels good. A great deal of the populace doesn't even bother trying to be rational anymore and it's going to be the death of all of us.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
So you don't think that it could be rational to choose one's own religion? in other words, being atheist is the only way to be rational?
- directeur
Again, not confined to religion. Why do people feel the need to buy, buy, buy? Not rational to hoard material when half the world is starving.
- Mo Kargas
No, actually I don't think that being an atheist is rational either. The only rational conclusion that one can make about the universe is that it's possible that there may be a god or gods, but since none is rightfully forthcoming with evidence of their existence, it is rational to think that none may exist at all. Agnosticism is therefore the only rational approach to the question. And certainly to make others live through your own vision of the universe is completely irrational.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
When you force people to live as you live because you think it is ordained by some god, that's irrational and shouldn't be condoned. Particularly when it is children under your care.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
@Alex That works, only if you believe the sum-total of human existence and the universe is or should be rational. It's an absolute in itself. Not sure if I can agree.
- Mo Kargas
Alex, we're just using your basic senses. and our physical dimensions and age are so little compared to the size andthe age of this universe. The religion, as I know it, is something YOU choose for YOURSELF, it's not something that dad or mom gives you. It's, IMVHO, the result of a humble research you do for yourself by yourself
- directeur
That's not how I see religion being pushed in the world. For every person like you or me that thinks it should be live and let live there are 10 George Bushes and Ayotollas who think that everyone should should think and act as they think their god restricts. And yes, I did just compare George Bush and the Ayatollas of Iraq and it's a fitting comparison.

Belief is the death of intellect. - Robert Anton Wilson
- iTad
Tad, I can post quotes by other scientists/celebs too that say the opposite;-) Nah, what I mean is that this should be a personal choice, I mean no savant quote can tell me how to think about God.
- directeur
And when those personal choices affect the lives of others?
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Alex, how? You're talking about what exactly?
- directeur
I totally think that religion should be a free choice. I just think that some choices are contrary to freedom, free thought, intelligence, etc. Depending on your choice, your mileage my vary.
- iTad
Tad, that's exactly what I'm saying :)

Another of my favorite Robert Anton Wilson quotes is, "The moment that dogma enters the brain, all intellectual activity ceases." I've found in my own personal experience that this one seems to be pretty accurate.

I love philosophical discussions.
- Nick Humphries
I'd say that we are neither rational nor irrational. That we exist in sort of a hybrid state being both thinking and doing beings at the same time. Although you could argue that rational thought is an illusion. The point of this thread is that if you say something like "I do X because the bible says that's what I should do" don't be surprised when I call you irrational.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
So technically, being imbued with this wonderful dualism, acting rational or irrational doesn't matter. The implicit insinuation in this thread is, religious views on some aspects of life are automatically irrational. I think you'll find that - it may be the case - but definitely isn't always. There are often rational components inside religious edicts. At the end of the day, people who...

The problem with a Leatherman, engraved pocket knife, etc is if a groomsman forgets to put it in his checked luggage and he's at the airport and would like to actually fly home. I'm not speaking from experience or anything, no sir-ee.
- Micah
Yep, that is the problem with any bladed implement.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble

No, they don't all have to get the same thing, just have to all be the same value.

I gave out nice wallets to my groomsmen - it's something every guy uses on a near daily basis, and the kind of thing most guys don't think to go and buy unless their current wallet is torn up. They were all very appreciative of them.
- Nathan Chase
I'm obviously not a groomsman but best gift R ever got was a swiss army knife, engraved. Nowadays too much of a problem. More useful than flasks, mugs, pens etc. But to me the best gift would probably be a photo... i.e. get your photographer to take a good solo portrait of each and give them a print or even the file - most people have so few good pro photos :D
- Iphigenie
Nice try, but those steaks are $90 not $75

Alex, the same company that has a beer of the month has wine, cheese, and cigars, I think. (If he smokes but doesn't drink, or something :-) )
- Jordan Hofker
Akiva bought his guys shoes (they all wore Chucks in the wedding so he bought those for them) plus an engraved flask. A friend bough his guys all a Dremel, which I thought was cool.
- Rochelle
One of the groomsmen already has a funky fresh wallet and wouldn't use one that I bought him.

Hehe, we most certainly will not be wearing Chucks at the wedding.

- Jordan Hofker
what about some kind of folding chair, maybe with an embroidered name on it?

Oh and steaks also would not work, because the best man is a vegetarian.

Please tell me your shirt for the wedding has french cuffs, Alex! But seriously, check out the Jack Black stuff. It is really nice... I steal Tad's daily moisturizer. Also, a shaving brush is something a lot of guys wouldn't think to get for themselves (of quality at least) but is a great staple.

You need those crazy patterned thick toe socks that fit like gloves for your feet.
