12. I've always considered doctrines to be principles.

As we see regularly, violations of doctrines are pretty common in religious organizations. So, my single doctrine is really just a single principle. For example, I would violate it in defense of myself or others. Of course, since I actually have no religion, that doctrine or principle is purely internal and individual, anyhow.
