I may be missing the point here, but more sense in regard to what?

I thought I was a bit unclear when I posted it.

What I mesn is, you said "X's nature depends on how X acts", and my question was that wouldn't it make more sense to say the reverse? That X's actions are dependent on its nature?

Exactly. Once you state that the thing you are referring to is not subject to logic, how can there be a logical refutation?

Ooh, that is a good one. My mind was almost blown there. xD That'd put theists in an interesting situation.
