A religion can only be defined as either being "true or false to the believer".
This became clear to me in a meeting with a lady whom I would consider very knowledgable in comparative religion.
"A belief can become more real, in the minds of the believers, as more believers
announce their beliefs- and vice versa- A belief can become more false, to the non-believers, as more announce that they believe it is false"
To answer this question I would have to understand the true nature of reality, which has not, as of yet, been proven using a mathematical equation- which can be verified. The only way to verify would be to understand the absolute value of the term "0"- nothing.... so It is said.... "In order to understand the essence of everything- one must understand the essence of nothingness". _________________________ I'm sure the questioner is sincere, but the question turns out to be impertinent. Any system established by and for people of faith is ultimately a matter of faith, defined in scripture as being sure of things hoped for, and certain of what is not seen. It is not a matter of verifiability (which is probably forever impossible) and certainly not a matter of mathematics, which is far more limited in its power than many realize. It is a matter of freedom to believe as one chooses to believe, as long as those beliefs and practices do not involve harm to self or others.
