is anything humans say not ?is there any religion that is not structured as a tautology?
tautology?
One of my favourite words!
Could you give some examples of the sort of thing you mean?
i don't think we have the same definition of tautology .the most simple? circular reasoning:
God exists because this book says it does.
This book is special because god inspired it.
or another big one: God is good no matter what. If something good happens, praise to god. If something bad happens "he moves in misterious ways and who are we to read his mind".
Religions look to me just like casinos where the house always wins no matter how the dice rolls.
Kinda throwing stones when you set up threads utterly predicated on loaded questions.Religions look to me just like casinos where the house always wins no matter how the dice rolls.

what is yours ?
basically an assumption or a set of assumptions that will always end up to be true no matter the claims that leads to that/those assumptions therefore being completely void of any logical value or information. Basically a dice that always shows the number you want no metter how you roll it.

The majority of Western Left Hand Path religions would not resort to Tautology
Not really. How does one even begin to answer an open ended question which automatically assumes its own accusation? Why do people believe things I deem to be believed in arbitrarily? I'm sorry, but that's not a question open to honest discussion.am i not giving the chance here to believers to prove what they believe is not a tautology?

Sure. What many people consider the core principles of Buddhism -- that is, the Four Noble Truths -- do not appear to be a tautology.
Do you mean that the purpose of religion is to answer the question of a claim with those same claims?is there any religion that is not structured as a tautology?
Peace be on you.is there any religion that is not structured as a tautology?
Those are not questions of religion but of philosophy.even not considering the conclusions you derive from those truth, how are those truth considered to be actual truth in first place? why would you assume they're valid for any human being? Just because Buddah said so, or because you've asked any human being if he recognizes himself in those? Or you think that since those apply to you they somehow must be good for anyone else?
