My name is Max Richey.

On A Logical Christianity, I will be posting about my continuing research into matters of science, philosophy, and spirituality. While religion will also be a necessary part of A Logical Christianity, many will agree that there exists a world view that religion is problematic in all societies. I suspect that many will discover in the years to come that the problem is not so much religion, but religiosity.

I have a particular interest in the current trend of atheism and agnosticism that is gaining societal influence in opposition to logical christianity. Mostly, I find that science is taking a lot of blame for this popular view. It is unfortunate that both science and philosophy are also being used by many in forming supposed logical arguments to refute the existence of God and, most especially, the validity of Christianity. Over the past several years, I have invested a great deal of my personal time studying this tendency and some of the possible reasons for these ironic and largely illogical positions. That is why I am compelled to share my findings.

The growing trends opposing a logical Christianity are actually a couple hundred years old.  They grew out of the Enlightenment, also called, modernism.  But the current breed of unbelievers attempts to embrace a similar fallacy, deceptively termed, postmodernism.  There is a lot to be learned from this, but the primary concern for most believers is the impact on modern education.  Believing students all over the world are being ostracized by their unbelieving professors.  This is most evident in Europe, which is the birthplace of the Enlightenment.  These enlightened educators refuse to open-mindedly admit discussion about intelligent design, or a faith that is evidence based, much less a logical Christianity.  Those that do simply treat it as a myth, which is met with the fallacy of ridicule.  Logical Christianity is seen to have no basis in reality. In fact, reality itself is considered purely subjective, until students present arguments to the contrary.  At that point, unbelieving professors return once again to the familiar ground of modernism by invoking positivism, and relativism.  Students identified as holding such beliefs in a logical Christianity are then derided and discouraged as if they are deluded and so intellectually inferior.

will be to encourage believers and non-believers alike to find a common, logical christianity for intelligent thought and mature discussion about God, science and spirituality. I believe that applying the spiritual principles of agreement and reciprocity will catalyze a discourse, which will invite many humans to participate in discovering? a more spiritual as well as logical Christianity. Consequently, I believe many will see that science and spirituality have a lot in common. I likewise hope that religion, once informed, will begin a trend toward a more balanced and Christ like spirituality as opposed to a more fundamentalist religiosity.
