Default The Logic of God

I'm placing this thread in debate as it may well turn into one.
But for the most part, what I'm asking is a one statement essay that you believe shows a line of logic.

Pick any thought or feeling you might consider beyond refute.
Support with your cause for belief.

If you can refrain the rebuttal of someone else's essay....that would be good.
This thread is more to declaration than argument.

But should we digress to debate and rebuttal....oh well.

The logic of God?

It's simple: God is Love.

The Logic of God is the logic of man, only perfected and unmarred by Evil.

God is beyond the Universe, therefore beyond the limits of the Universe such as logic, gravity or any other of the fundamental laws contained within the Natural Universe.

Love is chemistry. I guess you don't mean that God is chemical reactions, do you?

Love arises from chemistry in the brain, just as God arises from chemistry in the brain...works for me.

We are discussing God.
I was hoping for a display of supportive logic.

Chemistry can't go there.
Anyone care to take a step up?

Love is more than chemistry and more than a Hallmark card. If you w/don't understand love then you w/don't understand God. Look, you've even gone and proven my point before I even made it.

Whatever God's definition is, here is a logical statement that I think is beyond refute: God is God.

Hooray for tautology!

If we are discussing God, it comes down to faith (aka, opinion), as there is no evidence of God aside from as an idea in the mind.

My god-meme is better than your god-meme.
