| A simpler way to look at it.
Shutdown my machine when a simpler way to look at it occured to me:
Tea-Dude look at it this way:
Anything you can do [with logic], I can do. Anything I can do, you can do. What I can't do, you can't do. And what you can't do, I can't do.
You can define faith/rational behavior in a way to support your argument.
I can define faith/rational behavior in a way to support my argument.
I can't prove my definitions (or rather my axioms) are better than yours and you can't prove your definitions (or rather your axioms) are better than mine.
Now you can try as hard as you want to prove your point -- but ultimately you'll be relying on axioms that are unprovable.
That's the nature of logic and thats why logic can't be used to prove or disprove the existence of God or whether or not it is more or less rational to believe in God.
Note that I'm not trying to convine you one way or the other -- your belief or atheism is your business -- I am just disabusing you of the notion that one is logiciallly right and the other wrong.
