Not only is there no guarantee of the temporal immortality of the human soul, that is to say of its eternal survival after death; but, in any case, this assumption completely fails to accomplish the purpose for which it has always been intended.

The child learns to believe a host of things. I.e. it learns to act according to these beliefs.

What stands fast does so, not because it is intrinsically obvious or convincing; it is rather held fast by what lies around it.
