Religion claims its sacred “beliefs” are actually sacred “truths,” even though those truths must ultimately be accept on faith alone.
And they must primarily be accepted on faith alone, because God not only works in ways that are forever outside of our ability to ever fully understand, but because that same God chooses to remain entirely and forever outside of the ability of science to ever be able to detect whatsoever, and all so God can prove to humanity that despite our god given abilities to use our minds to the best of our ability to understand anything and everything, and especially what it truly means to be human, we can only ever truly know God through faith alone! End of discussion!
If you are a Catholic, however, that faith is buttressed by the traditions of all those who proved they were willing to die rather than ever admit they could be wrong.
Religion, as such, is an act of faith to believe that what determines if a person will be saved from eternal tortures is the level of obstinacy with which a person refuses to believe they are only human.
The only result that comes from believing that such fictions are facts, however, is that actual facts are necessarily turned into pure fictions, in the mind of the believer. A believer, mind you, who thinks they deserve to live forever, and solely for the obstinacy with which they refuse to admit they could ever be wrong - about almost anything, but especially their ideas about “God.”
