  Clearly one can believe that something is factual simply because a book has been written and lots of people talk about it, since that is what Amberleaf has chosen to do. To remove this choice (the "you can't" above) is, I think, just as fundamentalist as imposing one belief system to the exclusion of all others. It also seems to me better to believe as a result of being inspired by a book, than at the point of a sword.
  
  But readers beware; even if you found a Dover Express dated 1AD and it were proven to be 100%, stone-bonker genuine, would that mean that the events it described were necessarily literally true and thus remove the need for belief?
