 2        1, X       |      not admit it, by a kind of irrational impulse to the practice,
 3        1, XX      |         found in the worship of irrational animals, and in arguments
 4        1, XX      |    animals, but even to that of irrational also!--a view which goes

 6        1, XXXIII  |         in the body of a wholly irrational being, nor yet in that of
 7        1, LII     |        to consider this or that irrational animal as a god, or not
 8        2, LX      |     they desired. Now~it is not irrational to believe that a dream
 9        2, LXXVIII |    convened; but it is the most irrational of men, and those devoted
10        3, XVII    |        the resemblance to those irrational animals which are worshipped
11        3, XVII    |  analogue to the worship of the irrational animal? But if he should
12        3, XVIII   |          who talk loftily about irrational animals, and who assert
13        3, XXVII   |         charging others with an irrational belief in the marvels recorded
14        3, LXXV    |     sometimes into all kinds of irrational animals, and sometimes into
15        4, XXIV    |       would maintain that these irrational creatures are superior to
16        4, XXIV    |       vast superiority over all irrational creatures. Even the race
17        4, XXVI    |        of piety, worship either irrational animals, or images, or other
18        4, XXXII   |        who did not perceive the irrational and wicked procedure of
19        4, LVIII   |       that those of the meanest irrational animals are God's work,
20        4, LVIII   |    follows, where he says that "irrational animals are more beloved
21        4, LVIII   |     much greater degree that of irrational animals, the work of God;
22        4, LIX     |        inhabited by rational or irrational beings, and according as
23        4, LXXIV   |         sake of man than of the irrational animals. And here he seems
24        4, LXXIV   |        nature in general before irrational animals, and who maintain
25        4, LXXIV   |     children in the womb, while irrational and soulless beings hold
26        4, LXXIV   |    beings, while dogs and other irrational animals have the benefit
27        4, LXXIV   |       this l also follows, that irrational creatures likewise enjoy
28        4, LXXV    |      that of the most savage of irrational animals?" Let Celsus then
29        4, LXXVI   |      far higher degree than the irrational animals, and yet all with
30        4, LXXVI   |       to his advantage. For the irrational animals have their food
31        4, LXXV    |   behalf of man, viz., that the irrational animals were created on
32        4, LXXIX   |         far exceeds that of the irrational animals, he says: "With
33        4, LXXXI   |        appear to be superior to irrational animals on this account,
34        4, LXXXI   |        what is the result of an irrational nature, and is purely mechanical.
35        4, LXXXI   |      that exist, has created an irrational nature, which, as being
36        4, LXXXI   |         nature, which, as being irrational, acts as a help to those
37        4, LXXXI   |     however, can be found among irrational animals, although Celsus
38        4, LXXXI   |          which extended even to irrational animals the capacity, as
39        4, LXXXIII |         nothing higher than the irrational providence of the ants,
40        4, LXXXIII |    would not the ants, as being irrational creature, be greatly puffed
41        4, LXXXIII |      Nature, which adorned even irrational animals, so that even the
42        4, LXXXIII |       know not what likeness of irrational animals.~
43        4, LXXXIV  |  laudations which he heaps upon irrational animals, so much the more
44        4, LXXXIV  |       bestowed by nature on the irrational creation. But why do I say "
45        4, LXXXIV  |     creation. But why do I say "irrational," since Celsus is of opinion
46        4, LXXXIV  |    ideas of all men, are termed irrational, are not really so? Nor
47        4, LXXXV   |      principle of the latter is irrational, and set in motion irrationally
48        4, LXXXV   |     whether that be rational or irrational. And if he once look upon
49        4, LXXXV   |      from heaven will see among irrational creatures, however large
50        4, LXXXVI  |        them to the level of the irrational animals, and desiring to
51        4, LXXXVI  |   certain individuals among the irrational creation there exists the
52        4, LXXXVI  |     arrogate a superiority over irrational creatures. And the following
53        4, LXXXVIII|         but that certain of the irrational animals are capable of thinking
54        4, LXXXIX  |   foregoing statements that the irrational animals are more divine
55        4, LXXXIX  |     next place that the soul of irrational animals is more divine than
56        4, LXXXIX  |       place the allegation that irrational animals are wiser than men,
57        4, XC      |         the birds and the other irrational animals, which he regards
58        4, XC      |  inferior views of God than the irrational animals), beneath the Egyptians,
59        4, XC      |      the Egyptians, who worship irrational animals as divinities. Let
60        4, XC      |         superiority of man over irrational animals, even over those
61        4, XCII    |   divining power that is in the irrational animals, and neglect to
62        4, XCV     |        however, neither employs irrational animals, nor any individuals
63        4, XCVI    |        of God;" for none of the irrational animals possess any idea
64        4, XCVI    |        his assertion, that "the irrational animals are nearer the society
65        4, XCVII   |          that "not only are the irrational animals wiser than the human
66        4, XCVII   |      that the assemblies of the irrational animals are more sacred
67        4, XCVII   |      that the assemblies of the irrational animals were more sacred
68        4, XCVII   |  opinion, the assemblies of the irrational animals are more sacred
69        4, XCVIII  |      show an instance among the irrational animals which might put
70        4, XCVIII  |        from reason, and from an irrational natural impulse, he would
71        4, XCVIII  | contending for the piety of the irrational creation, quotes the instance
72        5, VII     |    divine, but the whole of the irrational creation, as being "portions"
73        5, XXIII   |      from wickedness or from an irrational principle,--yet, if such
74        5, XXXVI   |      legislate for them, or for irrational animals, but that what is
75        5, XXXVI   |       appearance of relating to irrational animals, contains certain
76        6, XXVII   |       object, but one of a most irrational kind, arising out of his
77        6, XXVIII  |   against Jesus. See, then, how irrational is the procedure of Celsus,
78        6, XXXVIII |  convicted of false witness and irrational accusations, see whether
79        8, XV      |         that man rules over the irrational animals,--not by persuasion,
80        8, L       |    uncultivated, as it does the irrational animals, but our Creator
