He is not logical! He lives and thinks in the spiritual realm not of the world. Logic is of the world. Why should God be logical if He is not worldly?

You are kinda right. His logic and ours are so vastly different, that if he ever was to reason with us, it would be like, us, trying to reason with a cockroach.

If God create the world wouldn't the world follow his logic?

I think He understands his creation better than the creation understands itself.
"Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? **or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He hath no understanding?**" - Bible, Isaiah 29:16
I'll give you an example...
Say there is a dog before you in a room. The dog cannot ever see a rainbow like you can (dogs are colorblind), think like you can, BE like you can. It could never fathom the sciences or mathematics of this world like you can, so would you ever deem it necessary to explain yourself to the dog? Could the dog even understand you? And could the dog ever leave the room without you? EVER?
Now the dog can either be obedient, in which case, the logical response would be to reward it. Or it can be disobedient and bite the hand that feeds it, in which case, logically, the response would be punishment.
And since the dog knows no better, how could it ever appeal to you? Since the dog can't leave the room (because it can't reach the doorknob nor open the window), it only knows what's inside of the room. It doesn't know what grass is, the sky, snow, etc.
But say you scientifically/miraculously make it possible for ANOTHER dog to be able to try as best as he/she can to appeal to the first dog how you would like for the dog to behave so that you may deem it fit/worthy to leave the room.
That dog now has a choice to be obedient and listen to the message, since it can't even understand you (it can, however, understand the other dog), or it can be disobedient, in which case, it can just rot in the room...

The rules of logic work the same way no matter where you are. If A=B and B=C, then A=C. Are you telling me that A might not equal C for God?

If God is illogical and the world is logical, as you assert, then God must be some type of moron who created the world by accident. How could an illogical God knowingly create a logical world?

If there is a God, he must be logical, because He created the logical universe and you cannot get logic from illigic.
That's why I'm kind of a Deist.

Not quite....
Keep in mind that the world is in the hands of the devil.
This means based upon your claim that 'Logic' is a work of the devil.
Also, can you honestly believe that God is illogical? He is well beyond anything we can conceive or even attempt to understand.
Take care now.

I don't get it. What do you mean by "he is not logical"? Do you mean God himself is not logical or his existence isn't logical or what?
It seems that reason really IS the enemy of faith. Too much reason and doubt begins to form. Yes, better beat it back with more faith. Ignore reason! It makes you think uncomfortable thoughts that may destroy the view that has been inculcated into you.

Are you really willing to tell me that with God x â x?
Logic isn't everything; it's just a defense against obvious falsehood.

Logic isn't "of the world" actually. That's how it works - it abstracts all empirical content from its statements so that they apply to absolutely anything.

Well, as humans we rely on our intellect.
It doesn't really matter. If god is beyond our intellect and can only be comprehended by spiritual means (whatever that means), then why doesn't everyone have that experience? Why exclude some?
It really doesn't solve the problem...
