 I'll answer this part first;  I'm not quite sure what you're getting at, but for you last sentence I'll say, yes, we can't test anything with our senses (that is, our interpretation of our sense data) unless we assume they're true.

For your other post (hopefully, without being redundant in light of your other post); What I mean to say is that empiricism is on equal footing as, say, flipping a coin as a method of truth, because both are equally unfounded as can be. 

@scifiboy

There are a lot of... uniformed Christians, I'll grant you that.

 

But then comparing empiricism to faith, at least empiricism has SOMETHING. Faith hasn't even showed us what can be a lie or what couldn't be. It's a figment of people's imagination.

There is absolutely no reason to believe your interpretations of your own senses; as I said, coin flipping is about as likely to give truth as is empiricism, being that neither have absolutely nothing on which to back them up.
