Welcome to The Unreasonable Rationalist

The Unreasonable Rationalist

© 2008 by Kraig Mottar

The Unreasonable Rationalist is [to be] a magazine, originally conceived to publish religious, spiritual, philosophical, political, etc,. Articles, then it occurred that those topics are potentially boring to some people, by mention of just those descriptions. Then it was and is thought, that there will stories, short stories, poetry, etc and articles of general interest about hobbies, happenings around town, etc, etc. And the etc's may have the most draw..

The Unreasonable Rationalist will have broad appeal to all, even those who are bored by this or that topic or subject matter, as the magazine nor its publisher will necessarily have any particular axe to grind, not shy away from anything due to personal disagreement, as the other side will also be published. Those who are usually bored by say, politics and religion, but not always, may be attracted by parts of the magazine they do like, and by chance see something on politics, religion, or whatever, that may by chance grab them in..

The Unreasonable Rationalist will not be Christian, atheist, or whatever; it will not be Republican, Democrat, Communist, anarchist, or anything else; but will publish all those topics, side by side.

There are Christian and atheist magazines and there are Republican, Democrat, Communist, anarchist, etc magazines, they are devoted to their cause, field of interest, or point of view, and often, passionately so. They waste their time and effort, since the only ones who can or will ever read what they publish are people who already agree with it. How pointless and counterproductive is that?
