Would it be logical to assume that if these types of discussions could really be argued logically, that by now, 2008, we would all have come to the same conclusion?

If not, or if some of these questions are labeled as mysteries, is it logical to even have these discussions?

Doesn’t logic infer that there exists a more or less universal answer or final truth? Something that can be achieved while we are still alive? Not having to learn after we die?

I will be gone for a week or so, without internet access. If you ask me anything, I’ll get to it when I return.

No. It is my view that you are unable to reach ANY conclusion, which explains why you, as our resident devil's advocate, keeps asking questions. Even if Jesus Christ Himself were to show up at your front door with a lapel pin that said 'Hi, I'm Jesus Christ, ask Me about Your Free Gift of Salvation', you would most likely start asking Him a pack o' questions, and never being satisfied, would keep ON asking questions, lol

It is infinitely logical because you always provide fresh fodder for other posters to ponder that question 'where does Stuart come up with this stuff?'

No. Our limited human minds, as they exist within our current human bodies, could not handle knowing *everything* that God knows. I submit that our brains would literally explode if such were attempted.

Enjoy your trip! Aww-ree-vore!
