So I don't really follow that our logic is really logic. It's just *a* way that to me isn't anymore particularly inducive of faith than then Baptist way.
And that is why people rarely "logic" themselves into the church.

And that answer always perplexed me. A couple of believers get together, now you can say you are authorized to act on behalf of God of the Universe.
Nothing I know ever works that way.
If you were a subject of England and you wanted to do something on behalf of the King, you needed his imprimatur.
How a believer suddenly acquires authority by believing makes no sense to me.
To which the Evangelical will respond, you just gotta have faith. And ponzis are legitimate investment vehicles as well.
