How are beliefs measured?

One View:One way to measure beliefs is to use the measuring line Christ Jesus gave to all mankind: "By their FRUITS you will know them." This means simply looking closely at the RESULTS of the beliefs.

Example: People who believe in a god who torments people eternally, will PRODUCE people of similar charater. Consider all the WARS that have been fought in the name of god.

On the other hand, people who believe that God is LOVE, Compassion, and merciful; PRODUCE people who do not kill others simply at the Word of some human leader. They would rather die themselves than take up arms to kill another fellow human.
