Have you ever considered accepting logic as your personal saviour?

Question

Some of us have and we've found that it's good...come on over! how about it!

Reply to Mario E:
Whatever, certainly unreason is not a good thing to base your life on, there is too much of that going on.

reply to Patrick J:
I imagine all humans feel emotion unless they have some extraordinary disability but logic is an excellent tool to keep our emotions in check, we can then have a bit more control over our reactions than those who can't control their emotions.

Nobody conquers death, it's a mandatory part of life best accepted.

Reply to helpme1:
I think you'll find that there were Greek philosophers writing about and using logic many years before Christ allegedly lived or the Bible written.

Answer 1

lol fair enough - share and share alike. I remember using a line of yours as a question a couple of weeks back, but I'd like to claim this one as my own.
:o)

Answer 2

It is a strange mythology you are attempting to create. One that is based upon a misunderstanding of logic as a tool and too many episodes of Star Trek.

The concept of a 'Savior' is an existential construct. That is outside the sphere of logic. Logic is a tool for determining the nature of relationships of propositions in a formal context. There is no logical answer to 'How do I feel today" or "why am I here" To feel bad for a minor or no reason is just as valid as a feeling as any other.

I would suggest that perhaps with a few more years of serious reading and putting aside the comic books you might evolve into a person who has the ability to correctly work with abstractions.

Answer 3

Didn't Aristotle believe that the earth was on the back of a tortoise who was on the back of another tortoise who was on the back of another etc............
If the father of categorical logic can be so horribly led astray by reasoning then couldn't anyone?
Didn't Socrates believe that the earth looked like a leather ball from above. He said he knew because he had seen it. Not through logical deduction.
And didn't he believe that there was a single morally perfect judge
that watches all men.
And did he not say that this judge is with us at all times trying to tell us the proper way to live. Except right after he gets up in the morning. (I thought that last part very funny)
And did he not believe that things of this earth are meaningless compared to living a morally perfect life.
"like the sands that pass through the hourglass these are the days of our lives"
This is the guy who humbled Plato. And he sounds a lot like Jesus.
Though his teachings revolve around reasoning even his wisdom must humble its self before god.
"True wisdom is to realize that you know nothing" Socrate

Answer 4

Logic is a wonderful tool, but a very bad master. Unfortunately, there are many aspects to human existence that is ruled by emotion. Thankfully, not everything, but it does have its domain. Because of that fact, if logic is the beginning and end for you, when you are forced to confront a situation that is emotionally based you may find yourself sadly ill equipped to resolve that issue. Like I said, logic is a wonderful tool. And it should be applied to every situation, but don't forget your heart. It is included in the package. Neglect it too long and it will come back to haunt you.

Answer 5

Yes. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. He is the author of logic.
try Isaiah 1:18; Acts 14:15; Acts 17:24; John 15:15

Answer 6

Actually once I received a lot of healing and freedom from my past in my life, I was able to use more logic. And I have found the more I use logic in my life the more my life in Christ makes sense.

Answer 7

John beat you to that in his gospel

John 1:1- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

From this commentary: http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/commentaries/index.php?action=getCommentaryText&cid=4&source=1&seq=i.50.1.2

"To speak of the Word (logos) in relation to the beginning of creation would make sense to both Jews and Greeks. In some schools of Greek thought, the universe is kosmos, an ordered place, and what lies behind the universe and orders it is reason (logos)."

Answer 8

Logic and reason over organized religion? What a concept! We might actually have a future to look forward to if all the bible beaters would use the brain "GOD" gave them! Perfect question!

Answer 9

I've never really thought about it that way. I'm not a religious, I believe in God, but that's it and I "hope" for heaven. I believe the bible was an explanation for the world when nothing was known about it. I mean, it makes sense. Adam and Eve are their way of explaining evolution. I'm still confused about my beliefs but, I have to admit, science makes seance.

Answer 10

So, let me get this straight, you worship logic? This comes with rituals and prayer books and everything? Have you talked to any real people about this, like, say, parents or friends or counselors?

Answer 11

That's an interesting way to put it. Although as good people in general who must share the earth and all of it's differences, we should respect eachother's belief's...no matter what.
