You keep trying to reduce this to an either/or proposition and that is exactally what I am saying it is not and should not be. Of course logic or logos informs opinions on spirituality or mythos. Being humans, we can not lock it out of the equation. That is 1/2 of my point. The other 1/2, of course, is that mythos can not be dismissed from the equation either. You seem to want to insist that man must accept a state of being that denies an essential aspect of his make-up. That is what brings you into constant conflict with those who accept the place of mythos in their lives. In another thread, you accuse anyone who does not reject the "Christian" label of being just as guilty of any wrong committed by a "bad" Christian. That seems to be a sacrifice of logic on the alter of "logos". It's just as illogical as being willing to kill an abortion doctor because he does not respect the sanctity of life. Not as morally reprehensible, but just as illogical. There are plenty of people who do not reject everything supernatural who have plenty of room in their lives for logic. Do not reduce this question to a choice between logic and spirituality. That is a false dichotomy. It is a question of arriving at the proper ballance. It is a question of respect for the practical reality of dealing with man as he is and not as you wish he was.
All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?
