How to test a statement: replicate the conditions and experience the act it (should) describe. Example from Predator (that 1980-ties classic): "if it bleeds we can kill it" Experience: after Arnold trapped and punctured the predator he nuked the creature into non-existence. Outcome: statement was true (in the context of a 1980-ties action film that is totally awesome!).
Fantasyland by Kurt Andersen is an interesting read on this, as it relates to that premise in the USA. Don't read if harsh criticism of organized religion offends.
@rott Thanks for that recommendation, going to read it. Sounds like it's not going to be much new information for me though.
