Religious doctrine tells stories of humanity
And though those stories are not verifiable, they are true
Stories of love, forgiveness, compassion
Stories of struggle; personal struggle, struggle within the family, struggle within a community, struggle amongst nations.
Stories of humanity from the perspective of those living the struggle, seeing it
Stories of humanity from the perspective of those reading it, taking it in, and finding meaning for their lives. finding purpose
Purpose
Origins, purpose, and endings
Asking and answering questions only subjective
None that can be objectively observed, repeated, or tested under control
But always familiar and close enough to give value to the reader
