people often base their religious views off of logic, saying it's "unlikely God is real because i've never seen him". logic works for worldly situations, but if we've never encountered a spiritual situation, how do we know logic works for that too? yes, you can say there are no spiritual situations -- but you have to admit they are a possibility (because the existence of God cannont be disproven. it's near impossible to prove a negative, especially an abstract one). and because they are a possibility, and we don't no logic works for them, you can't really use logic to justify your beliefs, because there's the possibility of the existence of a concept that cannot be proven through logic. yes, i will admit -- that use of logic is definitely a justification for belief. but it is definitely not proof.
your thoughts? please no religious bashing. i respect your religion, please respect mine. if you have an urge to reply in an obnoxious fashion, please don't reply at all.

The Sacred is not intellectualized. It is Experienced.

An external God has always been mans explanation to explain the unknown--So--over time man has created over 8,000 Gods--Then Buddha & Christ came along & threw the whole concept of an external separate God out the window--by teaching that all creation & existence flow through us.

I admit there's a possibility that a god exists. But I also admit there's a possibility that I'm just a brain in a jar in a world run by giant mutant squid-monsters. Doesn't mean I'm gonna believe it without evidence.

Logic doesn’t work. Only faith.
I am logical enough to know when to abandon logic.
If it has to do with the spiritual, logic becomes impossible. If you try to come up with logical explanations it just sounds silly.

No, I think it's a matter of the drawing power of the Holy Ghost that convicts one of their sin and need for the salvation that can only be found in the blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
