Logic vs Religious Mania
Someone sent me a quote today:
"The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance... logic can be happily tossed out the window."
- Stephen King, The Stand (Revised Edition)
Is that really true? Some things defy logic, or cannot yet be explained by logic. At the end of the day, is logic not another form of religious mania? The quote works both ways. Watch:
"The beauty of logic is that it has the power to explain everything. Once logic (or rational thought) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to faith... religion can be happily tossed out the window."
- me, The Stand (2003 Revised Edition)
