Names are assertions are beliefs are religions

To make a thought or statement is to give rise to its existence

How it manifests in the future is more difficult to predict

“1+1=2” => assertion, I believe it, it can be said that people who don’t question this all belong to the same religion

I’ll call this religion “mathematicians”

Some people don’t believe it. I’ll call this “non-believers”

From the goog

Some people believe in God. Let’s call this religion “theism”.

Their organized collection of beliefs, is that they believe in God.

Some people don’t believe in God. Let’s call this “atheism”

Their organized collection of beliefs is that they disbelieve in God. Let’s call this a religion

But wait, some atheists believe don’t believe in God, while others believe there is no God.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_ … ve_atheism

The religion of those who don’t believe in God is called “weak atheism”.

The religion of those who believe there is no God is called “strong atheism”.

Want to break it down some more?

Some people don’t like labels.

I refer to them as the religion of “Some people don’t like labels”.

Perhaps these people have something to say about themselves.

Who do you say that you are?

If you have an answer, a label, a name, an assertion, a belief - you have a religion.

To name something is to give it a reference. To be stored, to be recalled, to be used. To name something, is to draw a box around it.

I improvise with instruments. Sometimes I repeat these musical ideas. I have concepts stored, some people have named these concepts. “fingerings”, “licks”, etc…

I might repeat a specific unnamed lick, with errors, and still conceptualize in the same way. I don’t have a name for it (except this post, which I do not intend to memorize or repeat)

I’ll go so far as to say a repeated thought is a religion, but I have uncertainty with this assertion

Anyone know any good reading material/online/videos etc… regarding the intersection between judeo-christiany and time?
