If we apply Occam's Razor to religion, wouldn't that mean that the more explanation needed for a particular belief, the more chance that it is in error?

One would think.
I've always said that if your particular doctrine requires translating the original Greek to Latin, then to Spanish, than to Klingon, then back to English in order to come up with something that can interpreted a certain way only by hanging upside down while looking in a mirror, on a Tuesday afternoon, than your doctrine may not be that strong. Or at least not as strong or important as you think it should be (hello "no pants on women!". LOL)

How do we know Occam's Razor is valid? Is it valid in all cases? Are there any cases where the simplest answer is NOT the correct answer to a question?
