Keith mate,

We are here to cut code.

You would be a lot happier if you first perused the Skeptical Enquirer's Field
Guide to Critical Thinking.

http://www.csicop.org/si/9012/critical-thinking.html

Then you would be happy that any rational discipline cannot even discuss the
validity or compare religious beliefs, art, etc because is doesn't meet any, let
along all the conditions. Valid, not sure, but arguable no.

Further, and more to the point, there is no one interpretation of the word
"know" or any of the other words that bother you. All becomes clear in the
context of a rational argument.
