Are you suggesting that belief in a god is irrational? Also, are you suggesting that belief in a god is belief in a lie?
I would also suggest that Cheese's belief than man is inherently good is just as irrational, and he himself has unwittingly argued against the truthfulness of it.
Truth is often a matter of degrees. I have never questioned Cheese's faith, nor have I ever questioned a religious person's faith. I can, and do, question motives, however, and the use of improper absolutes.

The importance of your faith to you is one thing, but the accuracy of its existence is a separate matter.

As is true of nearly anything related to this discussion.
