-and any two sentences are both sentences.........?
Do you believe, then, that a statement about the belief that your shirt is green and the belief that jesus is lord are ambiguous and meaningfully interchangeable in type or kind or set? It's commonly held that a religious proposition differs primarily in that it describes content which we arrive truth from by faith in the proposition. It is what we forcefully believe is true, and so what other truths will be and must be based upon - not the other way around.
For example, when a person says "I know that x y and z are bad because god said/did.....[insert here]". The item of whether or not god is or god said [????] is non negotiable. A belief that your shirt is green is, to put it mildly, very negotiable.
Is this unrepresentative of your own beliefs, or the beliefs of those around you? Are you as set on the issue of the color of your shirt as you are on the existence of god or any particular item of christian belief? Do you believe that you can never be in a position where you would have to logically reject or abandon a belief about the color of your shirt, in the way that you believe this about items of christian dogma..and, for flavor, scientific theory?
