Which Religion Makes The Most Logical Sense?

Well? (Yes, I know a deep subject!)

[RINO Tom]

I mean, people are only answering this as "Which one makes the most logical sense to you?" in the end.  For me, it is Christianity for a pretty simple reason: I have determined that a "Creator" is the most likely explanation for the Universe as we have come to know it, and I think that some of the description and insight into how God "is" in the New Testament comes closest to what I would imagine such a Deity to be like.

Islam.

[RFayette]

Orthodox Judaism in its concept of God, but definitely Christianity overall

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Daoism (By which I also include Ruism) strikes me as the most logical because it isn't tied to any particular cosmology describing the origin or ending of the world we live in.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I found the article confusing : it doesn't directly address logic.  He talks about "what fits my mindset."  Which is a fair enough thing to address, but it isn't the same thing.

What is the most logical will depend on what principles you are reasoning from.

[Georg Ebner]

Christianity.
Because it is so shamelessly absurd.

A religion, that fits, what we regard as "logical", is anthropomorph. Christian dogmata are too absurd for being a human invention. But if we dig deeper, we have to find out, that they are indeed inevitable and make sense.

Someone is grinning on our "logic"...

He describes atheism like it is only defined as an illogical, dogmatic certainty that spirituality and deism don't exist. However, personally I consider myself an atheist but I'm not 100% certain there IS no god/afterlife, only that there probably isn't one and it doesn't make much sense considering what we know about science and the universe. Is it really dogmatic or illogical to have the materialist/scientific view of things that "Nothing immaterial exists in physics?"

I don't think it's dogmatic to be materialist, I just think it's correct... perhaps it would be dogmatic if I discounted the possibility of the afterlife entirely, but I think if we find material/scientific evidence for it then I'd change my mind.

Yes. “Logic” is a myth, albeit a useful one. Reality does not conform to our petty theories. The upper limit on the usefulness of thought processes based on logic is that what is “logical” is not defined in any meaningful way besides historical trend. It’s not useless, sure, but limited.

Modern Hinduism (since, say, Tagore) has done an excellent job of merging the reasonable limits of “logic” with subjective, spiritual abstractions.

[HillGoose]

The lack of one.

The secularization of the world over the past 2 centuries and the progress that has accompanied it proves that.

[Blue3]

Going just by the question, not reading the article... it's Buddhism and Taoism since the Four Noble Truths and the Tao Te Ching don't require anything supernatural to make them work. Adi Shankara's Hinduism also fits.

Also, logic is not a myth... ever look into a logical reasoning class in college? It's thinks like "if A=B and B=C then A=C." Very mathematical.

[Mopsus]

I suspect that the question you're really asking (and the question people are really answering) is which religion is the simplest. In which case - and I hate to be the bearer of bad news on this - I must inform you all that life is far from simple.

Credulous.

If apple A is identical to apple B - then they are not identical, when A is eaten...
(And how can we know, that this world exists at all?)

Taoism and Buddhism are kosmosophical NonSense, every greek philosopher made more sense.

1. You're failing basic logic sense.

2. I just said original Buddhism and original Taoism and Advaita Hinduism don't require anything supernatural. Nothing cosmological. There's no reincarnation as the West poorly misunderstands it. Everything is everything, we all have consciousness, we are the consequences of others' decisions. Taoism focuses on being in the flow and natural living. Buddhism says to end suffering you should end desire. Hinduism says you already have the things you truly want because you are the universe, atman=brahman.

How would the above religions solve the question of why there is something rather than nothing?

[Blue3]

It doesn't matter in those religions.
Reality just naturally emerged, completely compatible with the theory of a godless Big Bang.

The Eastern Religions aren't concerned with the origin, or if there's even a clear origin. Their focus is on people... how a person can find meaning, purpose, and true joyful inner peace while sharing it with others.

Religion is not logical in itself but all have some element of truth to them.

I would consider that a point against their logical sense.

How? It makes them more logical. They're limited in focus, concerned only what what we do know about.

Being overly-concerned with the creation of the universe is illogical to me... it's not inherently meaningful.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

The obvious choice is whichever religion is closest to vague monotheism. In the world of Newtonian and pre-Newtonian natural philosophy, the idea of a physical world beholden to a single set of unwavering principles--in consonance with the moral principles that man was beholden to--was intuitive. I believe Socrates already demonstrated this in Euthryphro.

[Grand Wizard Lizard of the Klan]

The one which is closest to your culture, upbringing, country etc. because this is mainly personal view issue. Even cargo cults for societies which actually cultivate them are logical while for us they are rather not as we know how it actually works.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

That's not how religion works. Neither is it how logic works.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Just my religion, obviously.
