Most rational internal beliefs (not external like sensory data) are based on the opinions of others.
Or have you actually observed the earth from Space to see that its round, or tried heroine to see that its dangerous ? Did you go back in time to witness Hitlers invasion of Russia ? The list goes on and on btw.
And no im not stating it as a fact, its just a very rational opinion, i.e. similar to the notion that the sun will probably rise tomorrow.
P.S. Calvin, the founder of most of the nmodern forms of Christianity, regarded rationality as the work of the Devil.
