ok, i am sure that this was written before the premier of the TV show "Boston Legal", but Will Shatner's character (Denny Crane) comes to mind here. well done, a riotous romp at pomp!

I'll hand you this: You're consistent and persistent. Maybe that's what you mean by burning a candle at both ends. Zodiac bounces from fuzzy logic to illogic and back so much it's dizzying.

well, i creid. i smiled, i nodded with understanding of those emotions. hopefully, i will not ever have to endure the "squeeze". ugh! as others have said, the reverse works for me. it also leads us in an interesting slow growth to the painful climax, and then a joyous denoument, and then the ominous ending lines... the impending doom of the garden would itself make an interesting stage for another piece of writing. sorry for the long comment. and sorry for your loss.

There you go again acting like logic exist outside it's concept. The only perfect(real) logic would have to have all the information there can be on the subject it's focused on. Being that logic is a method of using data and it aspires to find the perfect truth about it's subject. Because our data on most things is not complete then our logic must also be incomplete. Most of us use bad logic to some degree and all of us do it in different ways. Aristotle's logic, economic logic, predicate logic, Boolean logic, fuzzy logic, first-order logic, intuitionistic logic, I could go on. But of course your insisting that there is no logic in God and that these believers are mindless drones who will except anything attached to God as the Gospel truth. True there is bad logic and good logic in those beliefs and ideas but that can be said about most of us if not all of us. See it's a mix. What you call the only logic is really just the best method we know of now to find out the truth about something. Either that or you're talking about an idealized infallible logic that doesn't quite exist.

Punctuation: drop the semicolon, period after "ever do." Otherwise good.

it's not completely about love. and it's a song. it's more about the longing for a love and how it is a one way street during the day and it is only realized at night though dreams.

If you wish to argue against Platonism, in favor of constructivism, you could do so civilly, as Brouwer and Heyting did, without calling anyone a moron, which seems like an illogical thing to do in a discussion of philosophy at this level. You could also listen to the question Alchemy asked, “I believe on God. I'm not sure why. Maybe you can give me some logical explanation for believing in God.” And you might have considered my tenuous answer, “Because 1 + 1 = 2” with its various implications, before spouting off like some bloated whale without provocation. Take whatever position you want, but at least consider that a logical God might be discussable by non-morons. I hate name-dropping, and here I’ve done it. That’s how far you’ve drug me down.
Re: a comment on Romans 8:28 by amanda_dcosta	amanda_dcosta 203.145.159.37	30-Dec-05/11:37 AM
I agree with you that it is disgusting trying to prove God logically. That is why I made it clear earlier in the day that we should have child like faith and that believing in God has nothing to do with logic. It a challenge for each one of us to see Him through the eyes of faith like Abraham saw him. Well, be a man and challenge Him to prove His love to you. After that, share your experiences with us, or atleast me.... i would be interested cause i know there's always a positive outcome when you discover Him.

Thanks C. you can't e-mail me anything at the moment. Cldtrky is non-operational and when I put it back up I'm sure it will be something else. People keep telling me I should get my feet wet but I keep asking myself "why?". That is to say I cannot come up with a valuable and logical reason to seek publication. Would you share your reasoning? I'm always open to opinion, even if I don't like it. Thanks again. Merry Bearings and Happy hydraulics to you.

Re: a comment on Romans 8:28 by amanda_dcosta	zodiac 69.132.67.140	30-Dec-05/10:43 AM
Good logic is, well, logical. It starts with propositions and makes a logical conclusion. Like: 1. I am taller than my brother. 2. My brother is six feet tall. 3. Therefore, I'm taller than six feet tall. Or, 1. All apples are fruits. 2. Meat is not a fruit. 3. Therefore meat is not an apple. That I'm taller than my brother and that my brother is six feet tall are proveable; we're both in the house, we can measure. That I'm taller than six feet follows naturally. Even things that don't exist can be logical. For example: 1. In an imaginary universe, all snorkbeasts have fangs. 2. Steve does not have fangs. 3. Therefore, Steve is not a snorkbeast. Bad logic makes one or more mistakes in that process. Easy examples of bad logic are: 1. I'm taller than my brother. 2. My brother is six feet tall. 3. Therefore, I'm older than my brother. 1. I'm taller than everybody. 2. My brother is six feet tall. 3. Therefore, I'm taller than my brother. 1. All apples are fruits. 2. Meat is not an apple. 3. Therefore, meat is not a fruit. It doesn't make any difference that I AM older and taller than my brother; the logical process getting there is still flawed, because height doesn't really have anything to do with age, and because I'm not taller than everybody. Anyway, that's the short version. What I've been trying to say is that everybody needs to stop talking about God in the context of logic, because whether you believe in God or not ultimately comes down to whether you accept 'God can do everything' and 'God knows best' as true. There are no possible proofs for those propositions, so in the end you have to just decide to accept them or not based on your own feelings. I'm also saying that if you believe in God, He seems very obvious and things seem very reasonable. But if you don't believe in God, He seems very non-obvious and things seem very reasonable. Logic has nothing to do with it. And trying to 'prove' God with logic is actually disgusting.
