That oughta catch me as much flak as I can type through for now.
A couple of observations:
1)logic covers reasoning processes. Logic can neither
confirm nor deny intuition, since the two processes
involve different human faculties.
Are either parallel to each other or perpendicular; probably both. =
Parallel if there exists no causality between them. Perpendicular if =
there exists causality but it is negated. I'm not sure where this train =
of thought came from so keep that in mind.
2)expertise in one area of study does not predicate
similar expertise in another. A medical doctor may
know a bit more about the mind than an engineer, but
if he goes head-to-head with a psychiatrist, he loses.
Predicate? As in:
pred=F9i=F9cate vt. -cated, -cat=F9ing=20
1. orig., to proclaim; preach; declare; affirm
2. a) to affirm as a quality, attribute, or
property of a person or thing [to predicate
the honesty of another's motives] b)
Logic to assert (something) about the
subject of a proposition
3. to affirm or base (something) on or upon
given facts, arguments, conditions, etc.
4. to imply or connote
vi. to make an affirmation or statement
n.=20
1. Gram. the verb or verbal phrase, including
any complements, objects, and modifiers, that
is one of the two immediate constituents of a
sentence and asserts something about the
subject
2. Logic something that is affirmed or denied
about the subject of a proposition (Ex.:
green in "grass is green")
adj. Gram. of or having the nature of a predicate
=20
3)without exact definition in terms, argument is=20
futile and counterproductive. We have used several
nebulous terms without pinning them down, making it
truly difficult to discuss these terms rationally.
But the definition always changes in the act of defining it (therefor =
cannot define it accutately) so you arrive at 3 without having =
acomplished anything.
We must investigate what theseneeds are, and if we cannot meet them, =
then we need to go andsit among the materialists. It takes a pretty =
sharp sword todo battle with the major religions. En garde!

As what, Pagans? Quakers?
Post is a bit disjointed (as is my mindset) I apologize for that.
Waiting for flak,
