I think a logical case can be constructed for believing in a creator God who is intelligent, powerful, just, and loving, and who is involved in the workings of humanity.

Intelligent is probably a huge understatement. The man's supposed to be
omniscient..
Anyway, it seems to me that's the whole reason faith is so important to religious folk. Without logic to fall back on, they've got to just believe on blind faith. It ain't called blind faith for nothin'.
How else can you convince people that women wearing pants is evil? Now, thankfully, lots of religious people have logic. So most of them don't believe all the really crazy stuff (dancing is evil, men shouldn't have long hair, etc.). But I really think the faith and the logic are separate entities. And I wouldn't go so far as to say the bible supports the logic. I think it's more like the logic keeps the bible in perspective.
