Why do you assign the traits of our earthbound logic to God? Is not God beyond our logic?

Ummm... God really isn't beyond our logic, which isn't really bound by science or the universe. Or at least, if you accept that God is beyond our logic than you pretty much have to accept a whole suitcase of other things that you probably would rather not. Math isn't beyond question, but if you break it, you essentially break a lot of other things and the consequences are ugly for you and I. Very messy.

I think it would better be stated God is beyond our capability for logic. The logic of God is true...(or should I rather say, God *is* logic) in contrast to our degraded copy. He is the original image, we are just low res jpgs...hopefully we are slowly being reformatted to be closer and closer to the original by some sanctifying algorithms... ;-)

Please see #50. You believe that logic is not bound by science or the universe? What is logic bound by? Are you privy to some kind of logic that is beyond human comprehension? You're the first person to state that. Why do you think I would rather not accept that God is beyond our logic? I have no problem with the fact that God cannot be described/defined logically. How is math broken?
