Pretty well all educated serious religious people. I think you might 
have a different idea about what is meant by logic here (most people 
do). It is not the very same as scientific practice or scientific 
theory, it is merely about consistency and validity, empty of 
substantial truth. For example, it is illogical to argue that if p is 
true then so is q and then to explain, or already have explained that 
q is not-p.

None of it at all? Have you ever seen an educated, serious or sensible 
commonsensical, religious person say something along the lines of that 
he knows the earth is round but that his god says it is flat and he 
believes both things? Religious people are not all stupid, illogical, 
crazy in such blatant ways and few would admit to simple errors of 
logic. 

> I don't think faith pivots on logic nor vice versa.

Perhaps because you have too grand a view of what logic is. It is 
always a background thing that no rational person will easily admit to 
not having. It is not some complex jewelled fulchrum on which 
particular positions turn on, it is neither like the pasta nor the 
sauce in a great spag bowl, it is simply a requirement of being 
rational, of being able to communicate.

But that is probably because they are confusing logic itself with 
other things like, say, specific or general science.

Elementary logic is not a tool, critical or otherwise, thinkers of all 
fields do not use it as *a technique* in their investigations, it is a 
background assumption, it is the very condition for thinking. (I say 
elementary because there is a view that maths is logic, and I don't 
want to say that maths is not a useful tool but this is quite a 
further topic and, naturally, I would hate to get off-topic in this 
usenet group, I know how strict you all are).

About this oft repeated idea about something beyond the understanding 
of men, it is not any real refuge. If it is beyond a mind's capacity 
to fathom something, then it is beyond its capacity to argue the case 
for it.

I'm talking about (as was attempted upstream) the idea of holding the 
existance of God, and the miracles of the bible up to logical scrutiny. 
 Pointless.  Faith is to be built upon, not scrutinized for continuing 
validity.  No, I don't believe that Christians, by definition, use no 
logic in measuring their lives against religious doctrine, nor flights 
of philosophical "logic" that fill thousands of related books.

I had a conversation with a Jewish person where I said pork was 
rejected because during ancient times it was had more potential danger. 
 "Irrelevant", she was quick to point out.  Her assertion: The demands 
of the religious are followed not because they meet some kind of 
case-by-case passage of logic or reasoning by each adherent.  You 
adhere because that's part of the tradition, and such traditions ARE 
the religion.

No, but in all candor I don't really have a lot of interaction any more 
with religious people.  When I did, though, I never heard them say they 
believed both the impossible and their own demonstrable perceptions 
about as a flat earth, earth as the middle of the solar system, or 
anything quite so radical.  "Who you gonna believe? Me or your lying 
(heretical) eyes?"  I have heard the opposite though: They said they 
didn't need to believe the veracity of Daniel in the lion's den, or 
Moses parting the Red Sea to believe in God, Jesus, the resurrection 
and all the "important" parts of Christianity. Similarly they didn't 
need to *question* it as fundamental to their faith.  On the other hand 
questioning the existance of God, the relationship to Jesus and where 
the resurrection occured--that's a little more dicey on the faith v. 
logic meter.

> Religious people are not all stupid, illogical, crazy in such blatant

Nor do I think they are.  But you threw illogical in there like it was 
an important way of calling the stupid or crazy.  Logic isn't part of 
defining them.  Faith is part of defining them.

"Complex jewelled fulchrum", huh?  I don't think you need to put the 
pig in so glorious a ballgown:  Look up faith in a dictionary and 
consider if logic or reasoning is fundamental to its definition.

Yeah, perhaps everybody everywhere is confused.

No, not a refuge a metaphor.

Well, this was fun and done.

When people say they hold things up for logical scrutiny they usually 
mean looking at a theory and seeing if it is plausible. But that is a 
different thing to strictly looking for its contradictions or mere 
strict invalidity of argument.

It is an important test of someone being these things, it being so 
blatantly irrational. Most sane people and especially educated self 
conscious people and especially scientific people who happen to be 
religious would be concerned about at least being logical. You are 
using the concept loosely.

No one is disputing you on this. Logic is not part of defining anyone 
at all in any field except perhaps logic teachers.

Once again, it has nothing to do with any definition of faith, no one 
is claiming that. But people who have faith are not as happy as you 
are to think they can happily defy simple logic.

No, this is not right. It is *also* a refuge that is sought by those 
who want to justify themselves in various respects when their views 
and arguments are questioned.

All I want to do is check to see if Elvis is around, where exactly 
Garry Cooper had that showdown at High Noon, where in the New Mexico 
desert, Walt hid his money, if Hank was really deadums - I liked Hank, 
he had MF (moral fibre). And I want to see where Peggy Sawyer danced 
in 42nd Street. And like that...  politics and religion, nope, ... 

I'm practising various American drawls in preparation. My partner 
tells me I should not under any circumstances try to be when in 
America because its folks' sense of humour is very different to mine. 
I am inclined not to believe her, how come I can just split up merely 
seeing Bob Hope's face on stage, get asthma from watching Planes, 
Trains and Automobiles, delight in Steve Martin's putdown of that big 
oaf in the beer barn? I'll play it by ear if that's ok with you Oatsie.

Since they do not exist, they aren't anything, deity or otherwise.
