You can seek "unity" all you want, but you can never fully interpret what "truth" is without some sort of basis for it. And even then, some facets of the said religion/belief might not be agreed upon by others, even when you know in your heart that it's true. Some things cannot be reconciled without giving examples of "why" or "how", and if you can't prove something, your belief is automatically in question, which makes it absolutely impossible to compromise what you believe with someone else's argument.

In other words, you can claim to "keep an open mind" all you want, most people have an established belief system that they know in their hearts to be the absolute truth. You can't... change that. Ever.

That's why I revert back to my previous post, most discussions on religion here are either about correcting a misconception on a belief, or showing how logical one belief may be over the other. Simple.
Isn't that really the point of all religions, belief that doesn't need any proof? Because if there were proof, there wouldn't be any need to believe now would there?

But how can there by any misconceptions, if everyone believes that they are right, and you can't change that? And since when does logic have anything to do with belief?
