[quote name='atreyue']Unfortunately, we are all guilty from time to time of being caught up in the powere of our convictions. I think a lot of people confuse 'common sense' with logic. Although they appear to be the same on the face of things, common sense prevails upon people's beliefs while logic is indisputable. So they can overlap at times, but logic must adhere to much stricter rules. You have posted a lot of things which are well-structured, but are sometimes lacking in logic. We all do at times. When someone says that your post doesn't make sense, it's probably because of gaps in logic in your argument. Personally, I think that's there's nothing wrong with saying that you don't have a logical case for something, but still believe it to be true. Discussions that come about as a result are often entertaining and informative. But everyone feels so much pressure to be smart and right that this seldom if ever happens.[/QUOTE]
Agreed. But I try my best to make a clear distinction between things which just make sense to me and things which are logical fact. No doubt I don't do a perfect job, but I try my best. I never said that all of my arguments here are purely logical ones, but the frustrating thing is that the ones which get the most opposition are logical ones (like the existence of the supernatural). In any case, if someone thinks there is a gap in my logic they should specify exactly what that gap is, not say "it doesn't make sense" and proceed to post patronizing comments at every available opportunity. Even stating explicitly that you feel there is a gap in my logic would go a long way toward fostering understanding, as in many instances I would likely respond that my argument wasn't strictly logical one (which could settle the disagreement right there).
