Lance here.

I was trying to start a discussion about the relationship between religion and logic, not in the context of the specific beliefs of anybody participating in this blog, although obviously we're going to use our own experiences as examples.

My contention is: logic is not a barrier to any form of faith, whether atheism or any form of theism. In fact, pure use of logic would naturally lead one to agnosticism.

By adhering to one or the other, atheism or, in my case, Christianity (or trying to, anyway), we are all acting on faith, rather than pure logic.
