Religion has always been about an iterative approach to the truth. |
Please name one religion that has taken anything even close to an iterative approach to the "truth". Without dogma there is no religion. Nobody shows up in a church and says, "We think that maybe god said this." or "Maybe there is an afterlife." or "Maybe you will be held accountable for your life when you die." or "Maybe Jesus said this." There is no religion that rewrites their holy book or tosses entire parts of it. There is no religion where the pastor shows up and says to everyone, "I found this better religion, forget everything I have taught you." If this happens the religion dies. One of the things that people look for in a religion is certainty. As soon as everything is up for grabs then people grab their hats and coats and leave.
You appear to me to be like so many people that I have met. They are attracted to the idea of religion but they do not actually like religion. They are a very muddle headed lot.
