O come now Don. The very first line of your post flatly states that its the Protestants who use logic or reason. Now I went to the source and the first paragraph you posted is not the first paragraph of the article. You had to go to the 13th paragraph in that article to get the first sentence to read as if its only the Protestants. Then you have the temerity to ask that question?
>>Why not come at this from your own beliefs?<<
You would not have liked that at all. I found it astonishing that a Catholic of all people would accuse others of including things in their beliefs that cant be found in scripture. As for my personal beliefs. If it wasnt taught by the apostles dont expect me to add my logic or reason to add something to it.
I chose the excerpt that I did because I thought it summarized the author's thesis better than the initial paragraphs.
The sentences says "rely on" not "use" logic. There is a difference.

You lost me there. What Catholic are you talking about?
