First, my guess would be that fr0d0 doesn't give you a straight answer because he doesn't feel you'll listen or grasp exactly what he's saying. That's not a dig, I just wanted to try and flash insight into his view as well as my own, and as well as yours. 
Second, evidence and logic are two seperate things, and evidence itself does not have to be either logical or empirical. Just because the being itself is illogical does not mean that there cannot be logical explanations for why you believe in it. The belief itself is a logical conclusion based on perceptions, but the being is something wholly different, something which cannot be explained through logic.
You see where I'm going with that, I hope? There are definitely things in this world which are illogical, and most definitely, God is not logical in His existance, His attributes, or His mannerisms. Belief in him, however, I believe that that is and can be, logical.
