Assuming you're a religious person, do you apply logic to your beliefs??? I am not a religious person. I am a logical person. I will not comment on your juxtaposition of the two... <g>

OT You can apply logic from religious beliefs or in support of religious beliefs. Which of course doesn't mean everyone else is required to have the same belief or abandon logic, even if your logic is valid other people can have different initial premises. Valid deductive logic doesn't prove your conclusions correct it only proves that they are correct if your initial premises are correct. And inductive logic is doesn't prove anything with the same sort of certainty that deductive logic is. Its most often less formal, and may just resemble normal rational thinking more than formal logic. Back to health care, rational arguments can be made for all sorts of different health care systems, so you can support all sorts of different types of systems without having to ignore the logic of your statements.
