It turns out the Trinity might not be bollocks, although I suppose one could argue that instead of merely including it on a diagram. Also miracles; and perhaps reincarnation, although that would require the rationalist to explain why there is such a thing as an individual consciousness at all, and therefore why it could not be reincarnated.

As far as I know, they haven't got anything approaching an answer to the first question, let alone the second.

Don't mean to complain, but I don't see any math being applied. Or any rigor, for that matter.

They also seem to imply that anything they disagree with is irrational and that everything irrational is wrong.

Yes, I was not entirely serious about the mathematical rigor. And the author includes many things I happen to believe in, myself.

Where is AGW? Or is it "too soon"?

Yeah, this particular comic may not realize how his general approach applies to his own sacred cows.
