Can logic be applied to religion.

For example, to be a Muslim, one must believe in the words of one person: Muhammad

Words - the truth of which - can not be verified be any other human being.

Surely, there is not a trace of logic in such beliefs.

I will continue to put my comments on logic on other threads; this seems deliberately prevocative to me. But since you ask, yes, there is logic in all the major religions.

Certainly, logic can be applied to religion. Religions are based on premises, and one can easily build logical arguments based on those premises. And while the logic may be valid, the premises may or may not be valid.

I generally think that "answer" or "copycat" threads like this one, which follow a currently-running thread, are not a good idea.

I usually try to stay out of moderation decisions in the non-music section, but the reasons for closing this one are clear-cut. Thread closed.
