What is logic?

[brewer]

Atheists keep on saying that they follow logic but in reality they go against logic.  
But let me put in simple terms what is and is not logic.  

Most people feel satisfied after eating or after having sex or after they got a new car.
Unfortunately this feeling of satisfaction doesn't last very long indeed.  
After a short time that feeling goes away and the action need to be done once again and again and again.  
In this way most people think that this repetition is the way to go and therefore it is logic and make sense.

This is not logic.  
Logic is when the feeling of satisfaction is permanent not temporary.
Smart people come to understand that physical-material things can not possibly bring a permanent
state of peace of mind and happiness that is why they work on actions that fulfill a state of permanent
feeling.

Peace of mind come from within so the work need to be done within.
Forget about an external God.  
The real God is you and is all within.
You only need to understand who you are, all the rest will follow.

bold mine

Your posting is not logic by your definition. You need to seek your own logic, follow your own advice, and stop posting.

So....

Rik just proved that he knows about as much about logic as he does about the rest or reality.

None, and I mean NONE of what you posted has anything to do wot logic, formal or informal logic.

Logic is a method to examine an argument, in order to tell if the conclusion follows from the premises.

Arguments, in the logical sense, follow a specific form. Usually:

Premise 1
Premise 2
Premise 3
.
.
.
Conclusion

If the premises are sound, and the argument is valid (no fallacies), the conclusion must follow from the premises.

Your entire OP is noting but a non sequitur. Which is a LOGICAL FALLACY.

[Ravenshire]

Logic is something with which you do not have even a nodding acquaintance, Rick

[Minimalist]

The real God is you and is all within.

Well then fuck me, too.

Wrong.
A method has been used to examine an argument.
It is a reality that humans keep on searching again and again for permanent peace of mind because they search externally which turn to be the wrong place.
The conclusion is that physical-material things are unable to bring permanent satisfaction that
is why this search is not logic.
On the other hand those who search within find permanent satisfaction and this is a reality so logic
occur when the search follow the path where eventually lead to something that works.
In this case as it bring a permanent state of peace of mind.

@OP:

you might be confusing "logical" and "logic".

you'd still be wrong, but at least you'd make some sense

[LastPoet]

#1: only propositions hold a logic value (true or false). Interrogations e.g. are not propositions.
#2: a proposition both true AND false is always false (no contradiction)
#3: a proposition that is true OR false is always true. ( the excluded middle)

After that you only need to make the construct.

You should try to discipline your thoughts by these 3 axioms. These are the laws of thought. The basis of logic.

Logic is......reasoning

Slightly different are the three logical absolutes proposed by Aristotle (in order: law of identity, law of non-contradiction, law of excluded middle):

1. X is X.
2. X cannot be both true and false.
3. X can only be true or false.

Your logical absolutes are correct, but I like these better based on their simplicity.

Without any of these axioms, logic is completely useless.
