Oh. The illogical stuff in the Bible, yeah. So, you somehow find it comforting to go back to the source of the bad logic, and just believe it anyway?

So do you believe if something is illogical that it somehow can't be of God? It doesn't bother me that He often defies my comprehension.

I believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, so of course it is my source of understanding for all things concerning Him. You're right...I find the Word to be a comforting place. And I don't consider something to be bad logic just because I can't wrap my brain around it.

No, but I find it very unlikely to be of God. I find it very unlikely that God will tell us things that don't make sense, or that are ambiguous enough to lead to endless debates and fights over the right interpretation. Or give us utterly ridiculous laws. Or punish people forever, just for not believing a select few people who say they speak or write what God told them to tell us (or for guessing wrong which ones to believe).

You are pretty sure you guessed right, then?
