Logic (myth, theist, God, Christ, religion)

There is no 'Logic' where these subjects are concerned.

Yes, and while you're at it, could everyone please stop using the word "got" when the word "has" is already in the sentence? It's painfully illogical and incorrect. Smart people find this horribly offensive, especially when it's used by someone purporting to have some degree of intelligence.

Evidently, the greatest thinkers of all time, although religious, were morons next to people who use "got" in sentences which have no need of the word. Let's be honest - using a false inference is so much more powerful than using grammar correctly.

Whilst I agree totally with the message you are trying to convey to our friend, I might refer you to the maxim "People in glass houses should not throw stones".................it might have helped had you run your message through the spell-checker........... (Grammer)????

To be fair, I am calling the kettle 'black' because I invariably find spelling mistakes in my own posts, long after the members of the Forum have had the opportunity to have a laugh at my expense.

Wow that is the second time today I have seen the word gammar mispelled in a post that was correcting somebody elses grammar! The moral here kiddys is to keep those corrective posts nice and simple.

Oh Fluffy.............................kiddies........ .........

This is the first time I have corrected someone; that was because he corrected someone else. What ye sow ye shall reap................

I agree with you completely though; as long as we understand the post, does it really matter ?

Sorry Royol, I do not agree with you here. If you are going to challenge someone's faith in a philosophical valid form, logic is required. However, faithful come in a least two forms, those that believe they see a logic for God in the world around us, and those to whom logic is irrelevant. Like you they do not need to refer to logic to have faith in God. My standpoint on faith is that it is a psychological reality if no other, and logical if it makes sense in the context of the life of the believer. Logic is an idea like any other; you obviously have faith in it.

But faith IS a logical method for dealing with the unknown. You just don't like that it is.
