Plato
The aim of Philosophy and Religion is Anti-Death; it is to defeat death by establishing an eternal object, whose unending existence overcomes death, and erases the malformed tracks of pain and death from the universe.
Philosophy seeks eternal truth.
I do not believe that eternal truth can be shown to exist.
Religion seeks an eternal God.
God as an object of belief cannot be eternal.
Belief is a point estimate of Being. Belief in an eternal entity can never escape its basic momentary existence as a point, and thereby small and almost dimensionless in the fullness of times.
Faith is a process of becoming and questing. The quest can be eternal.
The Holy is the Expectation along the vector of the divine Quest.
