No details really. Its possibly the most self evident thing that would ever be, if it were true. But I'm just a beginner and wonder what the brains think.

I'm no brain either, but I've read most of what Immanuel Kant has to say on the subject and, to date, while he's been disputed, he's never been disproven. The human mind, it seems, is capable of understanding life, the univere and everything only in context of space and time. We have no concept for anythng that were to occupy more than one space or operate outside of one time. Modern theoretical physics proposes alternate realities of space and time, of course,and different ways to approach them, but everything is still based on the cocept if a space-time continuum in which we exist. All of our logic is based on space-time premises. "If A and B happens to be true in the space-time that I know of then it follows that C is also true." Same with the scientific model, "If A and B happen (both need to be "observed" - i.e. be processed by a human mind thinking in terms of space and time) then I hypothesize that C will happen (also needing to be observed).
In other words, all of our logical and scientific knowledge is extremely useful for predicting how the observed world operates. It is, sadly, almost useless at predicting how the truly unobservable act/relate. Our thinking of such things like God (or beauty or truth) is not based on logic, but rather on opinion and belief. (e.g. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." or, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal).
Therefore, if you mean God as some type of omnipresent, omnisicent, omnipotent, atemperoal being then this God is not equal and identical to human logic since human logic cannot have any of those attributes. If by god you mean some sort of organizing principle by which human beings relate to each other, then yes, for some societies and cultures, god is nothing more or less than the perfetion of human logic.

God may be revealed to you in the convergence of logic, rationality, Spirituality, conscientiousness, Karma, Darwinism, physics, quantum mechanics, and the study of consciousness, combined with the insights of the contemplative Buddhist teaching some of which is four thousand years old. Get the book or audio discs entitled "The Universe in a single Atom." Sub-titled " The convergence of Science and Spirituality." Richard Gere reads the book and is an excellent reader.

Ooooh. Read about the Enlightenment. God is reason.
"In the opinion that there is a God, there are difficulties, but in the contrary opinion there are absurdities."
--Voltaire
It's Deism, and it's the belief that God created the universe to operate by natural laws, instead of seeing to every minute detail of every day himself. Also, the belief that man, through reason, observation and science, can come to understand those laws. Some of those laws are Newton's laws (ie: gravity, reactivity, etc.), and some have to do with the nature of human societies and government.

Logic is understanding. Can a mere mortal truely understand God? Ask a fish to explain the water it swims in. Same for man. God is not Logic.

the terrific i will tell, is that GOd isn't sure by ability of high quality judgment, that's what makes it so confusing to speak to a Christian rationally or logically. Philosophy is the excellent sword which destroyed Christianity and made it exchange into something else.

God is logic, yes. Immense physics equations, complex symphonies and incredible mathematical calculations all share a beauty, a symmetry, and yes, a logic that becomes more beautiful and more pure the more complex they become. In our understanding and appreciation of this beauty and complexity, we become closer to God when we understand we are fortunate to have the gift of interpretation and appreciation. Yep, God is logic. Religion, sadly, uses very little of the brain at times, and often results in much hurt to many people. I much prefer the logic approach!

Can't presume to think of myself as a brain, but I'll give this one a shot anyway. As a fan of the Miltonian concept of God, I see that deity as subject to his own laws, and as such are outside of him. As a force necessary to guide or dictate those laws, likewise logic would remain outside and thus God could not equal logic.

No. God is love.
Logic is the human mental function of placing one premise after another.
The concept of God is a function of human belief; which has a logical sequence but a variety or, according to some, total lack of material validity.
Your self depreciation is refreshing, if it were true.

This universe has as its source an intelligence that willed it into existance. It functions by operating within a set of fixed laws, call them what you will, Laws of physics, natural law, spiritual law, whatever.
If we can say that logic deals with fixed priciples then you are not only saying God is Logic, but God is Law.
