Logic can get us very far. Socrates was martyred because he taught that there is only one God, and there is objective morality that we must follow to be with God. He reached these conclusions by logic alone. But Divine Revelation is necessary for the fulfillment of human understanding and our perfection. Jesus crucified and resurrected is the start of this, because nothing any wise teacher or religious founder says matters unless it can save us from death. This is the only religion that can, because it's not a religion as much as a Living Being that we can encounter immediately, and who will save us if we only let him.
- crispinb 7y agoOh dear. Because my fairly comprehensive skepticism on metaphysical claims applies as much to hubristic scientistic materialism as any other, I tend to be a defender of religious believers possibly holding their views rationally. But they do usually disappoint me.
- sdegutis 7y agoYou seem like a very logical and intelligent person who values truth. So I encourage you to investigate these things yourself. Because they are all true.
