Thank you for your reply! I will try my best to address your concerns. Apologies for my late reply, I am busy with schoolwork at the moment.
Sequences are just a message from Eliezer, not a message from God.
As such, it is not contrary to disagree with Eliezer, or other rationalists, in some regards and remain a rationalist.
what kind of interaction are you looking for?
I am seeking general interaction between the religious and rationalism, as well as the application of rationalism to religious principles. You put it perfectly: My goal it “to retain some of the premises of scriptural belief, but employ rationalist epistemology within that framework”. @Viliam made a good point that the requirement for faith is inherently not rational; however, rational discussion of topics that are not points of faith may still be rational, albeit with such points of faith as axioms.
