You are pre-supposing a "value" to logic and reason that exists ONLY in your mind good sir.
I am pre-supposing a "value" to God and religion that exists ONLY in my mind good sir.
We're both equally flawed.
Flip a coin. Tails you win, you die, nothing happens, your brain dies and the only reality you know dies right along with it.
Heads I win, I die, I had faith in a God, and I hope I am judged as a decent person and then I enter another form of conciousness independent of my brain.
That's how it is.
We're here, we had no choice in the matter. We weren't born as insects or birds, we ARE human beings.
We have a heart, a liver and a brain. These will not last forever.
So now what do we do with this thing called existence.

If God exists, he is logical. Logic is thought. Without logic, there is only impulse and emotion. Without logic, there is no communication. Without logic, debate cannot occur. With or without God, debate, communication, and thought are all possible as long as you have logic. Surely God, presuming his existence, is all-powerful, but if he is not logical, then he cannot be expected to be very competent. A person without logic is irrational and insane, not someone with whom communication is meaningful. Logic is the very thing which distinguishes us from animals.
