Are you talking about separate magesteria or something? How does one get correct beliefs without examining evidence and understanding arguments?
No. This is not separate magesteria.
Okay, I guess the first point is that "belief" for a majority of my belief network was not Predictor based. It is Action based. The concept of separate magesteria applies to a Predictor based belief system such as the Map/Territory concept promoted here. An Action based belief system has trouble with the concepts of magesteria.
The whole system is ridiculously complicated because I never bothered to sit down and sort it out. Theism is behind a wall of beliefs built on a system completely incompatible with Predictor based beliefs. "Incompatible," here, means "untranslatable."
If I am not making sense I can try another path of explanation. I am typing up a full explanation now, actually, so... yeah.
