This is probably a lame answer, but I'm a Christian because it feels right to believe in it. Like it feels like the right thing to do in life

And do you believe that's a rational reason to believe in what you do?

Yeah

Could that same logic not be used to rationalize any belief?

Yes of course, why?

So, doesn't that imply that every single belief is rational, including purely nonsensical ones and ones that directly contradict your own beliefs?

No, I'm not sure how nonsensical ones would be rational, since they would be nonsensical. But here's how I see it. I grew up in a Christian household, and was raised as such. But looking at it as a whole, the core beliefs make sense to me, so it's what I stick with. I believe there is a God, a heaven and a hell. I know there are millions of people that practice other religions, and I respect that. Because they probably chose there religion the same why I did. I know part of that goes against a part of my beliefs, because one of the things about Christianity is to convert people that aren't followers to be, but it is what it is

So you believe in Christianity because that's what you were taught first?
