Universal belief falsifiers are scenarios that prove that a belief could possibly be false. They do not prove that a belief is true or false only that they could be false.

Characteristics:

1.) theoretically possible (doesn't have to be probable)

2.) no way of knowing if the scenario is true or false

3.)if the scenario was true we would never be able to differentiate beliefs that are true from beliefs that seem to be true but are actually false

Do every culture have some form of religion?

Religion is a belief. A belief is a perspective of the truth. It may or may not be true. Religions have followers that believe that their perspective of the truth is true. However, even though they may or may not have the correct perspective of the truth, they still think they do, so religion is a universal belief system for those people that think that their perspective of the truth is true. If there was a universal belief system for a culture, every member of the culture would have the same perspective of the truth. However no culture has members that have the same perspective of the truth so no culture has a universal belief system. Even within a religion, there a different views held by members, so religion is not the universal belief system every culture uses. Is there a universal belief system? If there is, there must be a universal truth. If there is a universal truth, the universal belief system would be the correct perspective of the truth. The universal belief system would then define what thinking is true or not true. How would you discover the universal belief system? If the truth cannot change, only our perspective of it, it would be possible to discover the universal belief system by questioning every single perspective to see if the perspective can change. If the perspective can change, it would be the wrong perspective of the truth. Whatever remained after questioning would therefore constitute the universal belief system. Has this been done before? In order to discover the universal belief system, a person would be required to make himself or herself think the thoughts of all people and either prove or disprove these thoughts. If a pattern could be found, it would be possible to fast track the discovery process. Rather than questioning every single thought, thoughts would then be part of the pattern. If differences existed between the pattern and the thought pattern in other people, the pattern may or may not be the correct perspective. The pattern of thought that remained after questioning would be the correct perspective of the truth. If two or more thought patterns remained, no universal belief system would exist. A universal belief system has been proposed to exist. By using the philosophical pillar of the point of living, two different thought patterns at the subconscious level were questioned. Only one of these thought patterns remained. (In other words, there was no point in living if the other pattern was correct). This has been proposed as the universal belief system. Any thinking outside of the universal belief system would therefore constitute a psychological disorder. If correct, this discovery has the potential to totally change the way people think about psychological disorders and mental illness.
