Or something like that. “God grant me the understanding of when I need to think logically,
The capacity to follow my heart in childlike faith when required,
And the wisdom to know the difference.”

Or something like that.

There are some areas of life that are dependent on various forms of logic... like statistics or scientific research or analysis or philosophy. Then there's all the grey areas that cause endless disputes on Signposts. I can live with “outside of logic”

Looks like you and I aren't going to see eye to eye on this one abtruth, and ofcourse I think you are wrong. And you think that I am wrong. If it makes you feel any better, I don't think we are both right, though we probably are both wrong. rev Well I didn’t mean to intimidate.

Postmodernism is not well defined, and has much room in its belief structures. I do believe that there is much truth in the postmodern position, but the Truth is to be found only in the person of Jesus, not in anything else. Not in logic, not in subjectivism, not in relativity, or objectivism. I do believe that the postmodern ideas, when taken in a balanced view offer us opportunities to see the world in a more natural and relational way, to make us properly suspect of our ability to communicate completely, and to focus on those things that are truly important to God, love, justice, mercy, hope and faith. rev Look mate, I am not going to justify what I didn’t say, nor what I do not agree with.
