To demand that what we say about God be
verifiable by direct observation or
by an airtight process of logical deduction makes no more
sense than to demand this of statements about Millard Fillmore.
This perspective is primarily concerned to eliminate nonsensical statements, or at least to distinguish between nonsense (non-
verifiable) and
sense (
verifiable) Under the pressure of this demand
by logical positivists, those who speak and write in the field of religion have not only felt called upon to clear up the fuzzy and meaningless jargon that often characterizes their field, but many have relinquished all terms that refer to the non-
verifiable.
