one book (which says a lot of the same things that a lot of other books say but is actually correct and all those other ones are false even though you haven't read them), then you get to go live with the magical dude forever instead of burning forever, because, although he loves you, he will fry your ass if you reject his love.
The fact that you cannot support any of those claims with evidence, and the fact that those claims stand in direct opposition to
all existing evidence regarding human biology, physics, etc makes it the antithesis of "logical".
