Beliefs must be categorized and grouped to reduce complexity else any discussion will become lost in specifics that only add to a long list of established disagreement. In other words, determining what is already in agreement is necessary to focus a discussion exclusively on the points of disagreement.
Categories
- Worldview
- Cosmology (under development)
- Geology (under development)
- History (under development)
Grouping
Choosing a category (topic) is not enough because there are far too many apposing beliefs within a category. The beliefs can be grouped by shortening the content of each statement. While it may be important to debate subtle differences between child-beliefs, that discussion ONLY helps those that “believe” in the parent-belief and is immaterial to all others. These child-beliefs must be avoided.
Beliefs cannot be grouped without first establishing harmony. For example, Christianity is itself conflictive as there are many “beliefs” that make up different denominations and is just one of many types of monotheism. The same goes for polytheism, atheism, transhumanism, racism and many other “isms”, “ians”, “ities”.
- Agreeing in “belief” is impossible at the highest grouping levels.
- Comparing “beliefs” is impossible at the lowest grouping levels.
