Are we irrational?

[Billy]

Do you think we are irrational for believing in this material and all the other things which come along with it? etc life after death, spirit guides, aliens and so on. I've been asking myself why I believe what I do lately, and I can't really answer it intellectually. I believe in something for which there is no real evidence or proof and I will always believe I imagine. And I don't really know why I will continue to do so. According to skeptics we would be classified as irrational, deluded and even crazy. People usually cite their personal experience as evidence for their beliefs. A typical argument against this is that people are simply seeing what they want to believe rather than looking at things from a scientific perspective. I kind of agree with this and notice myself throwing 'supernatural' reasons at experiences which I suppose could be explained as something like my 'mind playing tricks on me'. Sorry for this jumble of thoughts. What do you guys think?
