Saying I pay good money or my religion tells me to do something is not a proper reason.
Well, leaving aside the fact that paying for something and expecting to receive it is a perfectly rational argument, I think your passage through life is going to be a fraught and difficult experience if you believe issues of lifestyle and morality can always be determined by 'rationality'. You're on a hiding to nothing with that.
