We know it's not, it's the foundation of all we know. Reason and love are intertwined, in that it's rational to love true beauty and greatness and praise what ought to be appreciated which is to be assessed with reason.
More proof that logic is God's word as it was defined in the past.

IOW, you dont actually believe in those horrible consequences you tried to appeal to?
If love and reason are intertwined and its rational to love true beauty - that's true regardless of whether or not a god exists. If love is delusional, then that;s true regardless of whether or not a god exists. I;ve certainly seen plenty of both.

Took what, two posts to get you into your "uh-huh, too!" loop? Some argument.

I've done that form of argument before of this, but people have a distaste for it. So this is in language we are use to talking.
Seems to me the only language you use is that of wishful thinking.

If you need clarification, I will clarify. Otherwise, just let Boru talk.

Silence infidels!
No one here needs clarity but you. The reason that appeals to consequence don;t work..is that they only tell us some outcome you'd like to avoid. They don;t actually demonstrate the item in question. They;re even more puerile when, confronted with a "so what" to your consequence...you deny the reality of the consequence you;d just chosen to invoke.'
This is idiotic.
