1. Hopefully, you got my edit.
2. I don't think, honestly, that logic is the same as math. Math is subjective, whereas, logical reasoning is objective. It's all relative anyways, when you think about it.
Moreover, many people mistakenly use fallacies to define either existence of answer of God or some of the existence of God. When justifying morality, a person will try to back it up by saying that since an act is undesirable, it is therefore immoral. This is the Appeal to Consequence fallacy; because a god says it's good, it's good, which is an Appeal to Authority; because a culture says it's moral, it's moral; or if it's so ingrained in our nature that most of us know what is right: Argument ad Populum.
The fallacies are boundless it seems, so what is a man to do? That's right kids: accept that you'll either never know, or that if you did it wouldn't matter because you don't matter.
After all, this is just a simulation anyways.
Morality is relative and therefore doesn't matter.
