Philosophy Essay on Irrational Beliefs: Should We Believe In Them or Disregard Them?

Irrational beliefs are beliefs that are impossible to be proven, and only can be speculated on. Some of these include myths, legends, superstitions, extra-terrestrial activity or supernatural happenings, for example, the belief that aliens make crop circles.

If one does not believed on these irrational beliefs, it can be said that one cannot therefore believe that there is a God which is an argument I do not wish to partake in. Having said this, I hope that I live to see the day/days that such beliefs are proven correct or totally hogwash whichever being the case.
