If you believe in the God of the Bible, why try to prove it logically?
RE: If you believe in the God of the Bible, why try to prove it logically?
What do you think of this Missy C?

I think Inigo puts it perfectly:

1. Morality's instructions are instructions that confer reasons for compliance to any and all to whom they are addressed.
2. Only the instructions of an agent who has control over our interests in an afterlife and wishes to harm those interests should we fail to do as she instructs/favours would be instructions that would confer a reason to comply to all to whom they are addressed.
3. Morality is an agent of the kind outlined in 2 above.

An agent of that kind is, on common usage, 'a god'.

I think you're in denial about what God is. The version of God you relate is anti God. It's self contradictory/defeats itself. I think you're perfectly justified in rejecting it.

You have a problem, I think, divorcing that concept from anything which vaguely resembles it.
