Yes, I have.
The If/then does not automatically prove a point if your premises are weak or tenuous.
Both me and Ninja_Hippo think that your premises don't serve your ultimate point. And you seem to be unwilling or unable to explain why they do.

You don't have to prove the premises are correct...only that they logically follow. And mine did.[/QUOTEI didn't say you need to prove them absolutely "correct". I said that you need to prove that are not "tenuous", that they actually serve your conclusion.
Your premises to solid premises are like vapor is to brick.
You use that quote about "bound on heaven" and what not, yet you completely failed to explain how that quote serves your conclusion. What you did was the equivalent to writing a paper, quoting something and then not explaining how it serves your thesis.
I'm not going to get your point simply because it makes sense in your head. You need to flesh it out so that others can follow your thinking.
Also, like I said, by your own logic, the Pope can declare something totally ridiculous and contrary to scripture and it would stand.
Not true. In a logic equation you need only say if/then. I said for the sake of the exercise we have to start with the premise that they are....then the rest does logically follow. I'm only showing how the ideology grew......faith is not physical. But I get the idea that you'd rather not approach the theorem with the premises...so I'm done going in circles with you. The point wasn't to prove religion....only that the conclusion would be accurate if the religion is correct. Something you and ninja have no way of disproving anyway....Jesus Christ.
I realize that you only need to say if/when, but merely saying if/when does not mean that your logic washes. Weak and tenuous connections don't go away simply because you say if/when. You seem to be trying to shield your logical puzzle from criticism by giving if/when more importance than the actual premises themselves.
And the logic puzzle model does not automatically prove your point. Some points are so complex that they can only be adequately dealt with my fleshing out the premises in detail, something that you seem to be afraid of doing.
When did I say the point was about disproving religion? When did I ever try to disprove religion? Please answer me that. If you can't, then you are setting up one hell of a strawman.
