I think religion should be based not on faith but on logical faith.
SO, thats why I follow one that makes sense. no blind faith here.

You sound like a smart man that makes your faith proud to have you

Upon which epistemological paradigm do you determine whether or not something is "logical?"
Logic, at its base, is rooted in the notion of verifiability. That is, something is "logical" if it can verified to be so. But by what criterion is one determining whether or not something falls within the bounds of "logic?"
The crisis of faith is that it is based not in verifiability (be it historical, experiential, etc.) but rather in the promises of God. In a sense, faith is the only thing that actually "sees," for all human epistemologies are ultimately reducible to and equivalent with the relativities of the person(s) determining the criterion for such.

If you look at the heart of all major religions, they all seem to carry the same message - love and understanding of your fellow man etc.. If only people would listen to this, we would live in much better world. I am a Christian, only by the fact that I do believe in Jesus and his message. This is just what I know in my heart. As for the Bible, that is another story. So I suppose that I follow both, but more logical.

Consider: My car is relatively new, has less than 15,000 mi on it and is in very good condition. I have faith that it will start tomorrow morning but I can't prove it right now. The sun has been coming up every morning for a LONG time. I have faith that it will come up tomorrow morning too-but I can't prove it. Faith is trust, confidence, belief, and maybe can, or can't, be proven.

Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Faith is something you believe in realationship to someone with the supreme being and power.
I can have faith without the religion.
Faith is something we do not see and something we believe that it will come into realization. I believe in the spirit of truth.
Logic is different from faith, something already on hand to prove and to reach out of your senses.

What do you mean by "logical faith?" If you mean a faith that makes sense and allows us to use our intellect and reason then yes. I belong to a denomination that encourages the use of reason in faith.

This is a fairly common question. Truth is known through revalation, faith, and the gift of human reason. St. Thomas Aquinas is probably the best known resource for further study.

Logical faith is not faith at all, it is worldly and you do not understand faith to even think so. Faith is your connection through the Soul to God.
Logical faith is human reasoning
Here is the Bible definition of Faith; Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Logical Faith is how Scribes and Pharisees tried to understand Jesus Christ;Luke 5:21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
Also 70 disciples left Jesus Christ because his words did not make sense to their logical faith; John 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.John 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
Now consider this also look 666 in the Bible---John6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Look where Logical faith will lead you to rejecting Jesus Christ.

does no longer 'info' quite lots eliminate the will for 'faith', that's the cornerstone of almost all present day religions? faith is the thought of an infinitely useful omniscient divine being who created the finished universe whose length and contents defy description, yet he continues to be undetectable and for some reason is occupied with my intercourse existence (he has no reason to agonize, nonetheless). i'm in awe of 'creation' yet I no longer assign a god to have been the challenge supervisor. i think of the mechanism of ways 'being' got here into 'being' is a strategies greater complicated and spectacular to carbon-based cognizant existence types. So, to respond to, no, no and no.

Logic is merely a perspective. Some may see the existence of a higher power as entirely logical, while another does not.
