If God Can Operate Outside of Logic, Logic is Useless

Logic is absolute
The most basic logical statement, 1=1 is evidence that logic must be absolute.
If 1=1 is only true so long as God makes 1, 1, then it is not a true statement.
However, it must be a true statement, or else 1=~1 (not 1) which is a self refuting statement.
The only possible truth to 1=1 comes from the fact that definitive mathematical logic must always be true 100% of the time.

The argument that God operates outside logic is nonsensical. One oft used argument is "Can God make a rock so big that he cannot lift it". Those who say that God can operate outside of logic say that "God can make a rock so big that he cannot lift it, and then proceed to lift it because he operates outside of logic". However, this violates sense. If he proceeds to lift it, then he can lift it, and he did not make a rock that he cannot lift, this isn't to say that He can't, but to say that He did not, in this scenario.

Our entire understanding of the universe comes from the fact that logic is absolute. 1+1=2, 1+1 =/= 3. If 1+1=3, then 1 =/= 1 because 2(1)=2 not 3. If just one piece of mathematics is false, ALL of mathematics is false. Algebra is universally true or it is not true at all. Algebra is a method of expressing logic.

Every idea ever deduced. Every thought ever manifested in logic. Everything of that nature would be false if God has the ability to undermine logic.
If God created logic, God has bound Himself by a machine that will not release Him.


If logic is false, there is no such thing 
as truth.

Using logic we can come to the conclusion that 1+1=2. Without logic, there's no way to tell what 1+1 is. 1+1 could be equal to literally anything within or without numbers and it could be equal to nothing.
There is no way to tell.

It is for this reason that I believe that if God can undermine it, logic is useless.
