      Is America "true" or "false"? Makes no sense. But when we insist on treating religions as empirical propositions, it's almost as silly.

      @KevinSimler I've started compiling a list of 100 Weirder Things To Believe Than Christianity. There's quite a list :).

      @KevinSimler Keep in mind these aren't "wrong" -- they're propositions that, when subjected to same level of scrutiny...

      @KevinSimler ...atheists apply to religion, you get similarly muddled or anxiety-producing output for a lot of people.

      @ckhonson (I needed that "keep in mind" clarification.) Interesting to think of these as similar to "religious" beliefs...

      @KevinSimler They are different in many ways, but the unifier is that they're 1) typically unscrutinized, 2) produce anxiety when challenged

      @ckhonson I've been flirting with calling these kinds of things "beleefs," to highlight how they try to present as beliefs...

      @KevinSimler Interesting; might be some conceptual crossover with "cached thoughts" -- "beliefs" you haven't traced fully through recently.

          @ckhonson Although what I care about is whether the idea is being protected from evidence/scrutiny. That's the tell-tale sign of a beleef.
