If you believe in the God of the Bible, why try to prove it logically?

I completely agree that no external (as you've defined it) proof is necessary at all. There cannot be independently verifiable proof. No philosophical argument can ever establish one way or the other. At best all they do is leave open the possibility. So good post zenith.

What kind of logic was the god of the bible using when he commanded the Israelites to rape and murder the women and children of their enemies?

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "
