How is the mobius strip related to religion?

Answer 1

A mobius strip is not directly related to religion. It is simply a mathematical object, with unusual characteristics.

Given that a mobius strip has only one side, some might argue that religion is one-sided! Or, another way to use a mobius strip to illustrate the benefits of religion is that progress enables one to see both sides of a matter, from 'inside' and 'outside'!

The unusual characteristics of mobius strips have been used in many ways by thinkers, philosophers, writers and scientists to help explain different aspects of life, thinking, change, self, otherness, regeneration etc.

However, in whatever way the mobius strip may be used metaphorically, e.g. to illustrate an aspect, or a feature, of religion, ultimately this would only be just an illustration, and an illustration doesn't prove anything!
