What make you think your answers are more correct than others?

What makes you believe your answers and understanding is more correct than other peoples beliefs and answers?

Personally I do not believe my faith or beliefs are the only one that can be correct.

From one perspective, all words are lies because they don't encompass the truth which is beyond language.

So from that perspective, "correctness" is about usefulness. My understanding is helpful and useful to me, more so than other answers.

Since I've focused a bit on Kaballah, there is something more important than (verbal/written) answers:
"The sounds of silence are more elevated than the sounds of speech." - Baal Shem Tov
In the end, however, the deepest language of the soul is silence.” - Rabbi Rami Shapiro

"What make you think your answers are more correct than others?": Evidence.

That's what everyone who has that take says, regardless of which POV they hold. As a corollary, they usually accuse all other sides excepting their own to have no real evidence. Only their evidence is valid.

Yeah they do and offer thousands of year old shepherds' tales as evidence.

Personally I do not believe my faith or beliefs are the only one that can be correct.

Speaking as an ex-Christian, I no longer believe that my former evangelical Christian beliefs are more correct than other peoples' beliefs. Admittedly, I feel rather foolish whenever I think about all the years I wasted holding onto a religious belief that caused me relentless anguish and disappointment in my life. I feel like I'm an ideal example of how deeply a person can be brainwashed and controlled by a religion, whether it is Christianity or some other religion or spiritual belief. It can be difficult to break away from it.

If I have learned anything from my personal exodus from Christianity, it's for me to be sympathetic and not be judgmental towards someone who's entrapped in a religious cult, and they can't see the forest for the trees. I feel like leaving Christianity and forsaking my Christian faith was the best decision that I've ever made for myself and my mental health. I don't regret my decision, but I wish I had done this years ago because I would have spared myself several years of deepened anguish and immense depression.

"Faith" or a " belief" cant be right or wrong.
Their "answers" only apply to the faith / belief.

For answers to real questions, they are useless.

Having a more correct answer is childs play.

Trapped in a cult. Yep.
