What may or may not have been agreed upon has nothing to do with this. What I said was in reference to your proposed colloquial definition of logic, not anything that might have been said before you entered into the conversation.

Are you sure? It really looked like that's what you were saying...I suspect that, like "logic," you were being a bit broad with your scope of what constitutes "appeal."

Well, if you want to obstinately presume that your misunderstanding of my position is actually my position, by all means. You'd actually be proving my point a bit by doing so.

Perhaps you'd like to choose a different word or clarify your use of the word "appeal?"

No, your failure to grasp how the concept of appeal functions at different levels has nothing to do with my choice of words. I already clarified it, but let me try again:
For instance: you find the notion of believing only in things which have the endorsement of science appealing. This supersedes your desire to avoid believing in christian evangelicals. It doesn't negate the fact that you choose you particular beliefs because you find them appealing.
