Is the Ethic of Reciprocity Logical?

Thomas Jefferson once said, “Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus”

So I'd say that an important founding father thought that they were.

I think the two are inseparable. If human beings have the ability to come to logical conclusions, I would say that we could logically conclude that God created humans with that ability. There would be no sense in God creating logic so that it could contradict him. It would be like a king trying to get his people to rebel against him.I think that we can search out the different religious writings and test them for what is right. That doesn't mean that our reason isn't skewed. We do not have an inexhaustible source of wisdom in our heads. So we have to be careful in the way we seek the truth that we don't seek out something because it sounds good, but because it's true.

Mutually exclusive? In the end, they always go together.

But often not "in the middle" -- People generally do them halfway, which messes things up, always. You know, of course, what you call Logical truth that is not pure? -- False, of course. One of Oscar Wilde's charqacters said that the truth is rarely pure and never simple. In reality, truth is *always* pure, and often very simple.

Personally, I am a Mathematician (and, so, a logician by necessity), and by necessity (and by logic), I am a Christian. Nothing else makes sense: Atheism certainly doesn't. Evolution is against the Laws of Science (unless you keep making little exceptions and loopholes in your Scientific Laws).

Are Logic and Spirituality mutually exclusive?
Quite the opposite.
Nothing else makes sense.

It is logical that nothing existed before GOD and all things were created through Christ Jesus. Jesus is Alive!!

JN 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning.

JN 1:3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

Yes, but it requires a new logic to bridge the seeming gap, and they will then become inclusive

God is not man that He should lie. All scripture is given by inspiration of God. Therefore I believe the claims of Jesus, in the bible, that He is the truth, the life and the way.

That sounds like perfect logic to me. Not to you? Okay.

Logic and Spirituality - no. Logic and religion - yes.

there's a organic and organic ought to respond to the question of existence as a priority and merchandise relationship. "I" would be the priority and "God" is the article. organic and organic programming thinks that's necessary for survival and as a thank you to make some order out of introduction. that's phantasm and this is barely understood remarkable whilst this is located out that "I" am the very information it particularly is God. babies don't have this question, they simply settle for that this information and witnessing is suited purely as this is - that's authentic. purely as adults income awareness and state-of-the-paintings techniques and agendas is the reality obscured by using faith. we don't certainly ought to call it God the two. it is not own.

Logic is formal, and as such is compatible with virtually anything, depending on what premises one proceeds from.

Logic tells me that there isn't a spirit animating my body, so...yes they do seem to be incompatible, man.
