The great thing about god is no matter how illogical your explanations for him are you can always say "it's god, he doesn't follow our rules". You can pretty much explain everything (even why 1 + 1= 3) with that system of arguing.

 

 

I hate the 'god is outside of logic' bullshit.

People claiming god is outside of logic without any proof for the statement, is lame.

How do they know this? They don't, they just guess. They know nothing about god.

I believe logic is above god, logic is transcendent of all things. 1 + 1 will always equal 2 within the laws of standard mathematics, even god cannot change that. He may be able to destoy the universe and make math a different way, but the fact remains, 1 + 1 will always equal 2, even if our system of mathematics was gone, even if no one was here to think those thoughts.

 

 

Well I believe that God IS true logic and that it may not be within our grasp.  If it were, we would not still be discovering new things and gaining stronger understandings.  I believe that they exist harmoneously.  No Christian knows the true manifestation of God, so definitely there is room for conjecture.  I am not blindly saying that "God is outside of logic."  But I AM saying that as of this point there is still no way to prove or disprove the existence of God.

Regardless of if absolute TRUTH (true logic) is yet to be fully discovered, if you can believe so strongly in logic in general, then there is nothing wrong with believing in an all true God.  In fact, it is possible that for each of these different mindsets, they are one in the same.
