William of Occam (or Ockham) was an English scholar, 1285-1349. He led the battle against the views of Thomas Aquinas. Occam held that much of theology was a matter of faith, not amenable to reason. For this and, even more so, because he was an opponent of papal supremacy, he was tried for heresy in 1324 by Pope John XXII. (He fled)

He, like many today (including myself), saw the fallacy in adding a plethora of explanations to construct the "house of cards", called Christianity.To the questions of "why?", more items were added to make theories work. (Not much has changed in those 700 years.)

William of Occam laid down a "rule" that: "Entities must not needlessly be multiplied." This has been interpreted to mean that of two theories equally fitting all observed facts, the theory requiring the fewer or simpler assumptions is to be accepted as more nearly valid. In other words, the simpler, the better. This is now known as Occam's Razor.

Remember Rube Goldberg? His "contraptions" grossly exaggerated how to do something simple. They were meant to be silly. It is not so silly in the way "we" apply Rube's world to the real world. The way our government and religions work are so complex, it's a wonder they work at all.
(We all accept that they work very inefficiently.)

Occam's Razor--simple solutions work best-- is the answer. For Eddie, our founder, there should be one tax rate for all.
(I concur.) For me, no religion (or no god) really simplifies and explains everything. I mean, would a loving god really permit an evil group like the Taliban to deliberately kill 30 "god-fearing" Americans? Rationalize that, ye Christians.
