Views on the supernatural, including yours, are by definition "not grounded in rational or sound thought". Your inability or intentional choice to recognize the limits of what humans can understand is obviously clouding your thought process, and is somewhat dated - more along the lines when mankind thought the Earth was flat, and the Sun revolved around it. I certainly don't have any issues with someone who differs from my belief, but obviously you don't offer similar tolerance on this topic.

You appear to have all the answers, when the evidence is clearly lacking. Any "logic" built on the Bible (most likely written by man with no divine intervention) and on other, fallible human constructs, proves nothing. You can categorically reject being on my level, whatever that might be, but that hardly disproves it.

Embrace the monkey. Be One with the Monkey. Let your Monkey Mind be free.
Warmed up for what? For you to implicitly affirm the validity of the laws of logic by explicitly denying their validity? Warmed over 2-day old french fries would be more palatable than the foolishness you have been serving up.

And I have a far better handle on the limits of human understanding than you can begin to imagine. After all, as an adherent to the Doctrines of Grace that I am, I'm fully aware of the profound implications to the doctrine of Total Depravity, in addition to the explicit teachings in scripture on this subject. This is precisely why divine revelation and divine grace are needed to understand it rightly. Of course, I fully understand how those not in the know and who champion agnosticism love to bring Christians down to their level of ignorance by claiming we're just as bankrupt in the knowledge department as they are. I know misery loves company, but you'll forgive me when I diverge from the broad path upon which you travel, since I also know it leads to a dead end in more ways than one, right?

And I'll pass on the monkey thingy, too. After all, as a first cousin to one, you have failed to impress me. Besides, I'm a cat lover.
