"You are so very young my little friend and are arguing from your conditioned mind"
Really? The people who brought us Sunday School are actually going to accuse someone of being conditioned to believe a certain way from a young age and call it a bad thing?
"You have no real experience of God and so you are limited to thought."
That would be on your god for slacking on the job, would it not?
Your explanation is chock full of assumptions.
Like the assumption that a collection of stories some goat herders wrote down 2,000 years ago after passing them on orally for centuries and millennia prior must be true because they said God inspired them to write what they wrote? The assumption that those millennia old stories which assert that the Earth is flat, the center of the universe, surrounded by a crystal/ice wall and that rain happens when the windows of that wall are opened to allow the ocean beyond to flood in, which assert that infection of severe wounds is a sign of criminal guilt and not cutting your hair gives you magic super strength (but only sometimes. Because, uh... God) somehow trump the sum of modern knowledge, which is constantly being expanded and refined, because -- in spite of all those provenly ridiculously false claims -- it was all allegedly inspired by God? Assumptions like that? Because that's one hell of an assumption and I'm not sure you'll be able find its equal outside of likeminded individuals.
"You will never find a true answer this way."
By extrapolating from what you know rather than what you don't? Have scientists and engineers just been making really lucky guesses for the entirety of human civilization?
"It is very typical to try to use 'logic'".
There's a reason for that. It's the same reason why it's very typical to use fire to cook meat: because it works. A fire will always cook meat so long as you give it few minutes to do the job. Wishing your meat cooked will never work no matter how earnestly you believe or how long you pray over it. All you'll get for your troubles is a mouth full of raw, bloody meat and, in all likelihood, some sort of parasite. Likewise, prayers and faith are never going to teach you anything about anything. Save patience, that is; you'll learn a LOT about patience waiting for silent urgings to accomplish something.
"however it is only a tool and not the correct one for every application"
That is literally the most wrong a single statement can be without tearing a hole in the fabric of space & time and endlessly multiplying itself. The only alternative to logical thought is magical thought (which often devolves into not thinking at all). Do I truly need to go over the stupidity that magical thought leads people into believing again so soon?
"Please have the humility to see the flaws in your 'argument'".
How about you practice even a shred of what you preach. And try to limit yourself to only one "pot vs. kettle" statement per 'argument'.
"If you do that the truth may sneak in the back door when your conditioned mind is busy.
No thanks. The church has snuck into enough young people's backdoors while their minds were purposefully cast elsewhere, I think. It's very telling that you specifically have to give up logical thinking in order for your "truth" to sneak its way in, by the way. The implication of course being that even a distracted mind would immediately recognize it as bullshit if it came in openly.
