heliocentric said:Is it really logical to say 'i believe xyz, because hey, everyone has to believe in something'. That doesnt seem rooted in any kind of logic atall, certainly none that ive ever come across.
And that my whole point; these things seems logical to you but every day logic can be very very subjective, its not the same thing as mathematics/symbolic logic. And in some instances id assert that youre not actually using logic atall (even going by every-day logic).
I really think you could do with reading up on different forms of logic and its applications.

^ pretty good link for it there.
You should have focused on the first paragraph. (Point A to point B)
Everyone does have to believe in something, even the people that say they believe in nothing. I think my beliefs are more rational than religious people that believe there is a god in the sky?
It is obvious that logic can be subjective. Like I said before, we are controlled by our emotions. That is why I want to have an internal computer program assisting me with my decisions. (Evolutionay algorithms)
And I don’t like to have conversations about semantics. We could spend days arguing with each other. What is logic? It is this or is it that????
