      That’s why I say “tend to believe”

      It’s of course very obvious that Buddhism is the most correct one of the big religions

        Eh, I tend to find points that are broad enough to avoid actually saying anything or require ignoring exceptions not terribly useful.

        Lol on correct religions.

      So is empiricism: it is axiom-based, it is an assumption-river, it holds that contradictory-alternatives are bogus, which they are, etc.

        Completely incorrect. Empiricism does not require faith. And empiricism has no immutable dogma or doctrine. While empiricism can provide the guidance that religion offers, it is not a religion.

        I’m still going to try and avoid a brick thrown at me even if I’m just assuming it’s real. I don’t find questioning it useful.
