Religious Credence, Factual belief - Coggle Diagram
Religious Credence
-
- A perceived normative orientation: Gives the person an idea of what life should be. It shows you the beautiful, the good, the joy, etc.
Ex: God wishes that everyone love their neighbor, therefore we should all strive to spread love, not hate.
- It is susceptible to free elaboration: you can take a small snapshot and elaborate it to apply specifically to yourself.
-
- It is vulnerable to special authority.
When God told Abraham to kill his son, even though it seemed immoral and wrong in the eyes of Abraham.
Factual belief
- practical setting independent: it doesn't matter where you are, the fact is true
example: The law of gravity is always true no matter where you are on earth or what you think about it.
-
- cognitively govern other attitudes: they are the factual background to scenarios you imagine, or the rules of the world.
Example: If John throws the rock in the air, it will fall back down to the ground.
Example: If David, the marble statue, falls off the boat, he will sink.
- Evidentially Vulnerable: What we believe changes with the evidence or proof.
Example: A new discovery that there is water on Mars questions our belief about there being no life on other planets.
Example: The apple fell from the tree and Isaac Newton found out about gravity. Now we know there is an invisible force holding us down.
