Karl Marx used rationalism to create communism which had ended up killing tens of millions of people in the 20th century. The Nazis also embraced reason.  In fact, some of the worst events in history were because of those exercising reason.  Nuclear weapons, and the persistent and eternal threat of nuclear war were invented by rationalists who allegedly were seeking to create a better and more peaceful world.  None could ever guarantee such weapons fall into the hands of morally depraved persons in the future, who have no regard for human life and who control governments, or even non-state actors.

*[[Horatio]] is not a blind rationalist ... when he sees the ghost, he does not deny its existence — on the contrary, he is overwhelmed with terror. His ability to accept the truth at once even when his predictions have been proved wrong indicates the fundamental trustworthiness of his character.<ref>[http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/hamlet/section1.html]</ref>
