An Axiom An axiom is a statement or premise that is thought to be self-evident or universally true, meaning it does not need to be proven or questioned. Once people have accepted a thought system, they rarely question the basic assumption upon which it is based. They accept it as universally true, and that is why they are so absolutely convinced that their thought system is the only right one and has ultimate authority. Once an axiom defined, it is claimed to be an absolute truth. Then a thought system upon that “truth” is built or around it. As long as you do not question the basic axiom, you will be absolutely convinced that your system is superior to any other. You will have the perfect excuse for ignoring conflicting views. You might even feel justified in seeking to destroy such ideas or the people who promote them. The excuse is, of course, that since your thought system is based on an infallible truth, any opposing views must – per definition – be false. Fundamentalist Christian...
