So being a little illogical is o.k.? Oh, why didnt you grade my physics test? I would have gotten a higher score for sure.
What makes you think that something MUST be logical? Humans aren't logical in their everyday lives, so ... why would you expect anything to be logical?
Science is an attempt to overcome our illogical nature, our illogical bodies that produce illogical minds. Most "logic" people use is simply trying to avoid cognitive dissonance. Some people's arguments actually turn out to be logical, usually due to great practice. Many arguments turn out to be illogical or based on false premises.
Life is nothing like a physics test. Except maybe that when you get to the end of either one you wind up feeling crappy
With that said,
Why do you think that? Why is religion excluded from logical scrutiny?
What is the purpose of putting religion under logical scrutiny? Even if illogical, religion does serve many purposes. There's at least one open thread if you want to discuss the purpose of religion. Regardless, all religion has to do is avoid causing cognitive dissonace in it's memebers. For believers, it doesn't have to be logical.
I think religious and non-religious people alike make the mistake of not understanding what we really are. Both tend to be idealists in my experience.
