Do the factual claims really provide the substance? Most people will probably affirm the virgin birth if you ask them about it, at least in the US. But whether that's correct or not, probably doens't have much to do one way or the other with the quality of their religious experience. What if the test of a religion isn't about if the truth claims it makes are objectively true, and more about the experience of the divine that it makes possible? I have friends who i think are mistaken on matters of faith, and they think i'm the one in teh wrong...but we all acknowledge that our disparate paths, with different claims, all have led us in to the precesnse of God. Right? Wrong? Perhaps it doesn't matter...
