Religions, truth, and the pursuit of truth: a reply to Zamulinski
- Abstract:
- This paper provides a comment on Brian Zamulinski's article in Religious Studies, 39 (2003), 43-60. Contrary to Zamulinski's claim that religions are not truth-oriented but function as fictions, it is contended that they could not serve the purpose he assigns them unless their adherents regarded them as true. Religions must therefore be truth-oriented. The substantive question is whether any of them are true, and Zamulinski's paper provides no new method for addressing this question.
