It becomes very easy if you can place your trust in something or someone, if you can believe in that one thing or being. Your trust may be rational, it may not be. What matters is faith. Believer’s life is easier than non believer’s. Non believers have taken a lot of burden onto themselves. They are really loaded with bag-pack full of stones.
For a believer, there is a source for almost everything, his divine object of faith. Beyond that he has not to think. But for non-believer the onus to find rationality of everything is unto himself.
Human being is not rational, but he always tries to be. There is a limit up to which he can move with this baggage of rationality. Many keep moving, many break down and many, better still, care not for rationality and take the leap of faith.
In life, a time may come when I find myself clinging to some object of faith, know that I have broken down.
Killing God is very easy and can be done very rationally so. But reinventing him is more fun, because that is liberation from the ego. The baggage of rationality brings a complacence, a very high opinion of oneself, consciously or ignorantly. Mostly that happens un-consciously. A rational man is able to identify the rationality of God for the believers, but what is implicit in this is that he holds rationality on top of faith (else why would he rationalise faith).
So once the burden overburdens you and you are near break-down and if you reinvent the God, it is bliss. Because you know importance of rationality and you know importance of faith and at the same time you can’t foster any longer your ego of rationality.
