80. strawman alert
You brought up logic, and now want to move the argument there.

Logic is a tool, like a computer. Garbage in, garbage out. I can construct elegant logical arguments proving ANYTHING, if you'll just accept the original premise and statements as fact.

As for fear of god, I notice that's a big thing in the Christian faith, being afraid of the loving and merciful god. For atheists? Not so much. All this talk of fear is projection.

The only thing I'm afraid of is the possibility that fundamentalism will continue to increase in power, because then I'll end up in a camp somewhere.
