<I say that by definition logic must be God,>
jfred, now we enter the realm of semantics. There are many words used to describe the same thing and there is even a word for different words which are used to describe the same thing.
There are also different meanings for one word. And there is probably a word for one word meaning many different things.
Row [a row of beans, a row between husband and wife, row your boat gently down the stream].
Now, if we identify that something looks like beans, and agree to that. Then it doesn't mean a man and woman are fighting over them in a dinghy. Even though Row is a common word to all. And I realize that doesn't quite make sense but you know what I mean.
There are also words which sound the same but are spelled differently and mean different things.
So, maybe your God, or Row, means what I think you mean, but maybe it doesn't. Does your God deliver tvs for Xmas and cure cancer on demand?
Anyway, even if we agree a definition of Logic and rebrand it God, I wouldn't say we need to smite heretics. I missed the logic connecting the two.

PS: If you remit US$1000 I can guarantee you eternal life in the hereafter. All you need do is accept my philosophy and bow three times once a year in a somewhat northerly direction. Stop worrying and trying to figure it out for yourself. This is the real deal. And forget about all those fake religions. That General Boykin nut is way off base. My logical God can out-row his tin-pot spook any day of the week. Osama wouldn't know which way is up, let alone whether Allah is on his side or not [seems not to be]. Go with the One True Logic. Don't delay, pay today.
Others may also join by remitting funds and promising to bow a bit. How easy is that? No hard work learning long incantations, rituals and having to confess to sin on a Sunday morning during a hangover. No being flayed, dunked under water etc... It's easy.
I even offer my usual double-your-money-back guarantee. I have never yet had to pay out on the guarantee, so you can see that I have complete confidence that you too can enjoy the security and happiness and life eternal that I'm offering you.
Don't delay, send cash today.
