I should really post this on a Monday but I might as well do it now. A whole bunch of assertions to do with truth that it occurred to me to poll about...

Too much use of the word "belief" for my liking. It means different things to different people, and any conversation regarding belief seems to inevitably get bogged down in definitions. Frustrating.

It's the same with "science" and "religion", nouns with different levels of abstraction for different users. Here's an experiment for you: start talking about "scientific thought" and "religious thought" and treating them as tools rather than ideals. As henry_the_cow says, it's largely about control.
