And I'm inclined to believe with you on this issue; that the rational
decision to act irrationally may improve one's life.

It does not, however, make belief in God "completely rational" or
"completely logical." It just frees one from the logical thought-prison.
------------------------

Alternative perspective:
The prison we are in is the prison of chaos, irrationality, and meaninglessness.
It is the self-actuallizing realization of this which frees us, not from the
boundaries of our existence...but from the false expectations arising
from our misperceptions.
