Good that in general we seem to have started thinking, I think, as we have to, we seem to agree there, thanks for posting.

Isn’t the quoted statement of yours above a kind of get-out-jail assertion in itself though?

It seems to leave open the possibility we can choose what to believe and disbelieve / disclaim, depending on whether or not we believe a particular body of thought is assertion or non-assertion based.

I still come around to the conclusion a certain amount of belief seems necessary in order to accept the truth of anything, which for me is a validation of religion, all religions in general.
