    I don't understand why people need to rationalize the irrational.

    Logically that is most likely. However, if there is a God and he just does whatever the hell he wants, is it that much of a stretch to think that he inspired these guys with the Holy Spirit to write the books? Wouldn't that be the new logic?

    Would it be logical to question the legitimacy of God's actions if you believed him to be real?

    I don't think so, but that's just me.

    Jesus was either just man, just God, or both. If you believe that Jesus was sent by God, ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God to judge the living and the dead, you kind of threw out secular logic long ago, no? There is nothing wrong with that. I've never been a fan of secular logic even though I try to use it as often as possible.

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
