That attachment causes suffering is not a faith-based concept, rather an observable truism . Buddhism is not a dogma based religion,but an atheistic philosophy.

One of the most idiotic phrases to enter popular culture is "logic dictates". Logic does not guarantee truth,so cannot dictate anything. Nor do I care what some emotionally stunted fictional character belonging to an emotionally stunted fictional race says about anything.Angel Cloud

True, with the exception of deductive reasoning, which does dictate. That being said, most reasoning presented in forums such as these is inductive and has to do with probabilities rather than certainties, as you pointed out. So, I agree.
