>Dude,   Define logic.
 
Random House New English Dictionary:
Logic (log'-ik), n. The science that investigates the principles
governing correct or reliable inference.
 
If you start with a premiss that cannot be shown to be correct or
reliable, a premiss that you believe simply because you want to believe
it or you think you will go to Hell if you don't believe it or your
parents told you to believe it when you were very young, then what
you have may be phrased like logic but it ain't logic. It's "I believe
this because I want to." That's not the same thing.
