Just want to acknowledge I read everything you said word-for-word.
I agree that many passages of the Bible, many claims made by Christians, and many doctrinal beliefs held by various churches or denominations cannot be empirically verified or scientifically proven.
I don't believe that everything meaningful must be rigorously tested or examined according to a "formal agreed upon measurement." It sure would make dating and romance interesting if we applied that standard to all things.
But... okay.... I read what you said. I do need to get back to work now. :-)
