I'm doing a project on logic.

I'd suggest the Consolation of Philosophy if you want to watch the logic at work.

Or you could go with Existential Logic. An easy-to-link source would be Waiting for Godot

Emphasis on the first three letters of "Godot" seems to give you a tiny hint.

I'd link "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" but honestly I don't think there's a copy of that online. I prefer that play over Godot when it comes to Theater of the Absurd.

...I'm in grade nine. I can write just 2 paragraphs and get a 80. We are supposed to debate to learn about logic. I'm captain of the Atheist side. We're starting tomorrow. I'll see if I can win with one comment.

That explains SO MUCH.

I already said that I was 14. It's not as if you can't figure it out what grade I'm in. I'm surprised that no one other than me is an Atheist.

A surprising amount of people here believe in some supreme deus ex machina . . .

In other words, lies? I'm pretty sure deus means god. And machina means machine. So god machine?

Edit: Nevermind. I remember when I knew that phrase from. It's a literary device to provide a solution to a problem. Like when you watch a movie and in the end, you realize that it was all a dream.

Not just a literary device, but an event that usually defies the logic of the environment it is introduced to.
Deus ex machina are always unexpected I think.

After reading up on wiki I now feel somewhat wiser.

Wikipedia is my only diety.

Really? How do you fit it in your mouth?

Wikipedia is my only deity.

That last post doesn't even begin to qualify for consideration of making sense. Neither does that sentence structure, but I digress...

So you made a "Help me with my *class goes here*"-ish topic, only the question is, in mathematical terms, Calculus, while you're looking for a solution that doesn't use variables. Or decimals. Or 3.

You wanted logic, Deus ex machina dammit, you're gonna get logic.

And relying on us for school doesn't work out. Was that math topic a loooong time ago the last time this forum actually helped somebody out? I think it was for Glenn or something too...

Oh, and English Teacher quote on Deus:

"Fine, want to know how to use Deus Ex Machina? Well, Deus Ex Machina is the ultimate plot device. Characters will get themselves in the most impossible situations and when things cannot possibly get any worse, they lower a robot or an angel or whatever. It's supposed to be God or something. So yeah...In short, God comes down on a winch."

I have a hard time believing he went to Harvard.
