Did you? You might want to reread what you wrote about that. You seem to be using the word reason in as novel a fashion as you use the word personal. I doubt my preferences are relevant, but I'd prefer to hear those reasons, rather than hear you claim to posess them, or claim to have attempted to communicate what you have not shown to exist in the first place. I don't believe that these reasons exist, and you've given me no reason to think otherwise. I'm -certain- that your beliefs exist...and I'm almost certain that you've somehow managed to confuse your beliefs with reason, or reasons. Such as your belief that gods mind must be ordered according to some principles...as a reason that logic is grounded in the mind of a god.
If I remember correctly, you asked something about God creating constraints. If God "created" logic, he would not be bound by it. If God were not bound by logic he would be able to illogical things like pick up the rock and count to infinity...twice. Since, as I said before, illogical statements like married bachelor and round square aren't really "things" but are sets of contradictory terms, I don't think that logic was created. The more plausible foundation for logic is a reflection of the mind of God.
"The mind of God" that experienced no linear thoughts in its timeless state "prior" to creation (according to his timeless timeline, of course), does not have to "think" to have knowledge, existed nowhere in non-existence because it hadn't created space "yet" (another nonsensical temporal reference), and so is, based on your description, practically indistinguishable from Absolute Nothingness.
