This might sound strange from, but I have searched and searched by applying logic to philosophy and religion and I find meaninglessness. I end up with really nothing. Romantic thinking in which emotion is put before logic might be the cure?

A professor friend of mine once described a trip by one of his students. The girl was with her ballerina friend and the friend's Russian Mobster boyfriend in New York. At a party the girl saw Trump and was about to walk up to him when the Russian Mobster stops her and tells, "Don't talk to him, he's dirty."

In business school they call him, "The World's Richest Con-Artist," and they add, "not the smartest," ,"not the best."

My brother found out what TrumpU was before most other people. He warned everyone he could, but even some of his friends were scammed. My brother has been troubled since.
Okay a long time ago I saw a child brutally beaten on TV. I was sure looking at the evidence that the man who did it (which basically he put a video of himself beating the child on YouTube) would get time. But something happened. The defense attorney cited the Bible with the verse, "Spare the rod spoil the child," and it worked. He got off.
Now let's talk about this verse first. The verse involves a metal rod being used to beat a child. First if that were literal, the Jews would have died out due to at best hitting someone with a rod will injure them to the point of disability, and many times kills people. This verse unless the God of the Bible is totally insane, is non-literal, second it may not actually have anything to do with child rearing but man's relationship with God (man being the child.)
Of course one could justify pederasty with the Bible, violence against minority groups, denying services to mixed race couples. There are cases were people have unsuccessfully argued these things due to the court stuck with secular law.
The thing if we recognize Holy Books as having legal standing then we are go down a path in which lawyers have to familiarize themselves with any Holy or Spiritual Text that they are likely to encounter.
Of course if court decisions are standing past the trial, can there be a landmark decision in which we decide if Muslim men can beat their wives or not, or will each case of Muslim Wife Beating be decided differently (and yes I do know not all Muslims, this is just an example of something insane which could happen.)
Of course if the decisions from one trial were to extend into other trials, we'd be legally stating how people would have to believe their religion.
Because of the complicatedness of religion this could make a joke of law.
What about Nazi Religions, do we recognize them, lefthanded path religions like Satanism, a religion someone just decided to write themselves five seconds ago?
This is a terrible way to do law, any lawyer or judge who recognizes a lawyer making these arguments should be considered for removal by the bar.
Unfortunately, this may be a lesson that we need to learn the hard way.
