^ Don’t you think a person needs to be emotionally detached to reach a reasonable conclusion? Emotion often clouds your judgement.

Take the “ground zero mosque” (it was a community center a few blocks away) as an example. People who were angry about 9/11 were using that as a justification for not allowing it to be built. According to them it “feels wrong”. In reality, the US constitution protects all religions, and the mosque can be built anywhere once the land is legally purchased.

dont be so rational lest you lose you faith. As for as human being judgement is concern no one can be free from emotions.
we have a lot of example where we got two different judgement from similar(secular) judicial systems on same issue.

p.s emotional detachment is not the same as being devoid of emotion

exactly, Yazdi should be neutral if someone wants to justify his/her faith by logic and reason, but he continues insulting those who are emotionally attached to faith and try to justify logically. Its kind of intollerance.
