Thanks for the answers everybody. I'm not a theist, for the record. ("a theist" is not a typo)
Pi is provably irrational:
http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~hr/numb/pi-irr.html (What's great about that proof is it's the same one from a number theory book I used in a class, so I actually understand it.)
To all who mentioned the imaginaries: good point.
saul: I get the joke.

How do you know pi is an irrational number?
Just because the human mind cannot reach the number's end, does not mean it doesn't have one.
Pi is not provably irrational. You fail to understand that the human mind has LIMITS. Therefore, what may seem irrational now, may not be by an advanced civilization.

If you honestly want me to believe that pi is somewhere between 3 and 4 then where are all the transitional phases?

Damn, you caught us.
This also proves the Christians believe in rational things. The bible clearly says that PI=3.0. A rational number.

LOL!
Here's a funny one for you - well, not really. Kentucky once passed a LAW requiring that pi be taught as simply three, because it said so in the bible. I am not making this up.
Imagine the frustration of geometry teachers in KY!
BTW, for those who didn't get it, "pi" is an irrational number - ask a math teacher.

Christians believe in imaginary God, I believe in an imaginary number: the square root of -1!

NO, its that all the non atheists get irrational.. when atheists stand firm in what they believe, and wont cave into others beliefs.

At least I don't believe in the square root of negative two. Now that is belief in imaginary things. Irrational, I can understand.
