and might i add logic and common sense itself is illogical, for example gravity: just because gravity works today does it mean it will work tomorrow? you can't really know can you? you can say that the probability that it will work tomorrow based on thousands of years of seeing it work is quite high, but you cannnot say that for 'certain' that it will work tomorrow, perhaps a god or aliens with advanced technology will come and render gravity null. This argument can be used for anything that people believe are intrinsically true.
So what now? do we just believe that nothing can be believed? no that's impossible because like i said above the human mind is limited into knowing what it has to 'know' to function in everyday life. so in other words, your subconscious mind will pick a belief system for you even if you don't want to believe anything. so why not choose what you believe in consciously? as for me I choose to be a devout christian based on this logic. lol now i feel like im preaching to you, but its some messed up kind of preaching isn't it?
im on a role here, too bad i don't have any papers due about religion or philosophy this semester xD.
and if you read all that i would appreciate if you can find some logical fallacy in my logic, then i'd have to go soul searching again which is imo quite fun :P
