Why do you believe what you believe?

I can accept pixies, but I draw the line at fairies and leprechauns. Everyone's faith has its limits.

'No reason why "god," whatever that is, should "interact."'There is a whole lot of wasted time in intercessary prayer then, isn't there? Wait - UNLESS we have created God in OUR image - then prayer probably makes sense - just another way of knowing ourselves, isn't it?

Robin, your confusion about logical fallacies not withstanding, Chiroptera is not "coming up with all these labels"(re: logical fallacies) There are some standard rules of logic for use in argument and a "logical fallacy" is a statement which breaks the rules. There are many of these that have been defined - actually there are only a handful of basic types and the rest are variations on a theme, if you will. Here is one rather comprehensive website on the topic if you are interested.http://www.fallacyfiles.org/

Chiroptera was quite specific in what logical fallacy he thought you were committing - if you disagreed you should have defended your logic in a reasonable fashion, not with a hand wave of "all these labels you come up with...." It is not too much to ask on a debate forum.

"The more attributes you ascribe to God, the less reasonable the idea becomes. If you just stick to Creator, it's not unreasonable."Hold on there. Aren't you arguing on another thread that morality derives from God? If God is "just the Creator", then there is revelation only through the creation, correct? Man, being part of the creation, can therefore be a source of morality, is that not also correct?
