They are true, but they are true in the special sense that they are the best models we have. They are as true as they can be. The stories work. The postmodern religionist is much like the modern scientist who tells stories about a quantum world that cannot be touched or experienced directly with the senses, only probed with macroscopic instruments tuned to respond to the pulsing rhythms of the quantum world. These traditional stories are models which the postmodern faithful can use to form some mental conception of a world that is not directly physically sensed.
Some models work better than others.
Where the postmodern religionists differ from their reactionary brothers and sisters is that they are free to invent new models, new stories, new ways of understanding the spiritual realm.
