Beliefs Bound To Fail

Every belief system is going to be contradictory, incomplete and full of holes because it is a belief system. Beliefs are positions accepted without verifiable facts, sometimes not even investigable ones. When new contradictory findings are discovered (and inevitably they are), the belief system crumbles. For people who have tied their self-identity to a belief system, it will still be defended in an attempt at self-preservation, even when the belief system fails. The entrenched believer is not a virtuous being. It is a sad state at self-preservation based on a falsehood.
