Does this reasoning apply to every religion?

Question

We know the (holy book) is the word of God because the (holy book) says it's the word of God, and if you refer to earlier in this sentence, the (holy book) is the word of God.

Does that apply to every religion? Are there any religions that don't have that system of logic?

Answer 1

Buddhism doesn't. Buddhists are encouraged to question and come to their own conclusions about god(s).

Answer 2

All religions are rubbish if you try to reason them. The base of any religion is faith, and without it you will be only a part in the program. Living god is revealed only to ones with true belief, and as such can not be reasoned. You either have faith or not. The books are merely a vision made by a rejected human being and should not be seen as a direct word of God in the purest sense of word, more like an inspired pursue to translate God´s intentions to guide mankind. God and the Bible can not be held responsible for some individuals´s false misinterpretations, or attempts to rationalize faith. living God is not made from parts that can be recompiled and examined. You just gotta have faith. As simple as that.

Answer 3

Actually, that's not what the Bible says, or how it levels it's claim of divine authorship. I personally believe the Bible's worst enemies are actually the religions of Christendom.

When I try to criticize, or a better word would be "critique" a book, I make sure I am familiar with it's contents and theory, in order to present a well-rounded, non-biased view; rather than what people "tell me" is a logical attack on it.

Answer 4

The Holy Book is a collection of stories handed down for 16 centuries and collected and written down under King James. Start a story on one side of a crowded room and when it gets back to you it is a totally different story. First thing I learned in college was to question anything you read or heard or seen.

Answer 5

Do you believe everything that's in a book? Cuz' I can provide you with books that say the (holy book) is a farce.

try The Blood Line of the Holy Grail for starters

Answer 6

Yes. Wicca doesn't. There are very few things that you need to define you as Wiccan. You need to live the two laws (1. Harm None and 2. Whatever you do comes back to you) and believe in the duality of all (the God and Goddess, though how you interpret what the god and goddess are is entirely up to you), and a deep respect for nature with an acknowledgement that you are part of nature not above it.

Thats it, thats all.

Answer 7

Great isn't it?
I wrote a book yesterday about flying purple Pegasus's', it was divinely inspired by GOD, if you don't believe it you are damned to the fiery pits of hell, you know it's really God's word 'cause it says so right in the first page.

Eastern religions implore their followers to believe it is true only if they find it to be true in their meditations.

Answer 8

Buddhism, Taoism

Answer 9

Pagan religions aren't like this at all. We're encouraged to explore, learn, think, grow, and change. Plus - we don't have holy books that claim to be the word of a God, either.

Answer 10

Yes, buddhism doesn't rely on circular logic. It says basically, "Here is why there is suffering, here is what you do about it" and then you meditate a lot. Does it help? Does it make people wise? I don't know. But it doesn't say "believe this is true so that you can see that it is true because you believe it is true."

Answer 11

In Islam yes reasoning is applied strongly
