If we are describing unusual patterns or regularities in nature, we are making factual statements. It has no factual or logical content at all. This means that religious language seems to be telling us something about the world, but it isn't really. Statements that aren't verifiable in this way are, according to Ayer, "meaningless" or "nonsensical".Īyer argues that religious language (he calls it "God-talk") is always meaningless, because God can't be factually observed or logically deduced. ![]() These statements are VERIFIABLE: you can check the first one by looking at the roses you can check the second and third by consulting an abacus or a dictionary.

Natsume always destroys his own pretensions and razes his own soapbox. Often these jabs boomerang back, where he mocks himself along with his subject matter. Usually with any essay, Natsume would contribute a manga cartoon or an illustration page to help get across his point-and his jabs. Flourishing his wit and his drawing pen, Natsume wrote a large number of columns on manga for manga magazines as well as larger media venues like Weekly Asahi, one of Japan's oldest weekly news magazines. It is classic Natsume writing from the late 1980s and early 1990s.
