No, but so what? We are talking about belief systems. I can tell
you about the fabulous properties of all kinds of imaginary belief
systems. Maybe some of them are possible, but if I'm vague enough
on my descriptions you won't be able to tell. Does that mean you should
give up your own? If not, then what are you talking about?
