How far reaching are God's powers?

I still can't help but say that when we're dealing with things that are both false, and bad...we're dealing with things that people shouldn't do, or shouldn't believe.  That's why I, personally, can't say I'm all in favor of everyone having their own meaning making myths.  I see the contents, and I see that people shouldn't believe these false things.

That's why I think people should test their beliefs. 

Does adherence to a belief result in consequences that contradict their professed values?  i.e. don't do evil in the name of religion.  Plus, doubt is a good thing -- it prevents the worst of abuses.

Are the beliefs testable?  If so, how would you test them, and have they already been refuted by existing evidence?  If not, what value do they serve (they might have personal value, but one must realize that they are a personal myth)?

So, a test by consequence and a test by evidence are essential, in my view. And I agree that almost all religious belief is wrong (including my own).
