According to Buddha [paraphrased], whe should, "Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true."
I think Bhudda is speaking religionists, non-religionists, and anti-religionists. Is he right, or should we fall mindlessly - and behaviorally - into the dogmatic belief systems of others?
