What is illogical? Nothing?
#8
RE: What is illogical? Nothing?
If by logical, you mean 'obeys the law of identity', then yes, everything is logical. A statement, however, can still have illogical content by contradicting itself: the subject of the sentence would then presumably be illogical, but not the statement itself. So you're right, and it's an interesting though, though I'm not sure what it proves.
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.

'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain

'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln
