Saying No

We reject the belief that any one man or woman can declare that they understand the belief of another, and can use this understanding to dictate terms of material and moral consequence.

We reject the suggestion to question one's own declaration of faith and to subject them to an evaluation which rejects the veracity that they believe what they claim. For who can prove that one truly adheres to the testament of a belief system? What of those who advance and evolve the ideas and semantics of that system? Are they now non-believers? Or is their belief an even deeper expression of that system's ideas which advances them and strenghtens them, and makes them more viable for the world as it changes?

We reject the notion that a judgment of one's faith can be used to assert a position of morality - that one might suggest that they have failed to prove that they believe either the appropriate belief, or even the belief that they claim, or that an aesthetic can be used to qualify whether they sufficiently belief a doctrine, belief system, or acknowledgment of metaphysics.

We reject the notion that we can ascertain the purpose for one's belief, or the purpose for believing a system of belief. Limiting the possible logic and ragionale for adhering to or participating in a belief system to some parameter or interpretation which best serves another's ability to lay judgment upon them.
