Can We Apply Logic To Religion? by annyplenty(m): 9:43pm On Jan 10, 2010 |
Logic or Logical reasoning is a branch of philosophy that has been applied to solve many problems in science, business, education and many other spheres of life. What now baffles me is whenever you try to apply the same Logic or logical reasoning to question a religion or a religious act, religious belief, religious quotation or faith, the leaders or adherent of such religious faith are so quick in telling you that logic cannot be so used. the christians might tell you words like "o koja oye eda" meaning "it transcends human logic or understanding" while the muslims might tell you words like " imo l'o ladinni, ogbon o gbe" meaning " religious knowledge holds sway, not human logic or wisdom" but these people never fail to apply logic to their other areas of life to solve their problems and it works for them. what now baffles me is that, is this a deliberate effort by founders of religions to prevent people from using a very sharp tool of logic to pry their religion so that they can always have "superior religious knowledge" from which they can always feed their followers from, or attempt to hide some knowledge which they believe logic might eventually expose. It baffles me. |

Religions(especially the 3 abrahamic faiths) are typically very allergic to reason and logic because they are built on foundations that are very lacking in substance.The religious leaders who run these religious faiths know this all too well and that is why they always discourage their flocks from any form of exercise in logic and reasoning whenever they are in the religious mode. Logic can be applied to "things of the world", but not to things of the "spirit", so they say.These guys are crazy clever.But their time is up as more and more mankind(especially the religious part of mankind) are being awakened from the induced darkness they have been put for millenia. |

The straight answer to your question , "Can we apply logic to religion?" is this;Yes you can, if you dare.If you are ready and willing to face the repercussions of taking such a step, which is a very high possibility of loosing your faith, then go right ahead and have fun.Apply good old reasoning and logic to your religious beliefs and watch them collapse right before your eyes. |
