What's your opinion on Liberal Religion?

[Belacqua]

"Verifiable" means something though. It isn't just Alan's opinion. God is pretty much unverified. Even theists admit that. After all, what is faith for if God is verified? God isn't verified. But other things are. I place more credence in the belief of those "verified" things. Don't you?

Don't forget that the standards we use to verify things (in our opinions) are contingent, historical things. And as you know, the metaphysical assumptions on which science rests are not themselves things which can be verified by science. 

So how you think of verification is in play here. 

But the old joke is still best: treating religion as failed science is like treating ballet as a failed attempt to run for the bus. It is a category error, and deeply neglectful of things which are vital to human life and culture.
