All this talk of logic & god from a religious standpoint makes my hair stand on end. ... I think that's why it's called faith: it's the belief in something unseen, unprovable. Those who have it [faith], know It; those who don't, don't know It. Get it?

My thought is that if a person believes something (whatever that might be), it's real for them and therefore what does it matter whether that thing is empirically provable or not? Same goes for "un"belief: from a god-questioning perspective, isn't that *believing* in "no god"? That's real for that person whether there's proof or not of the non-existence of god. ... wow, I've almost confused myself here ...
