Rationalism is reliance on reason as the best guide for belief and action.
- 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.[1]
The Bible says,
Test all things; hold fast what is good. 1Thess 5:21 (NKJV)
