Here's an interesting point of semantics. When tinkit says religious belief
is irrational he does not mean there is no reason why the largest part of the 
world population attaches to some creed or another. (My view is that religious disposition is, like male sexuality, a hardwired genetically-
determined variety of madness.) So {da krinu ro nu lijda so'i remna fa da }. 
So how *do* we express the opinion that religious beliefs are irrational? {ro lijda no da se logji }? That's my best shot.
