RE: Why belief in anything is a bold faced lie.
A belief is a mechanism of integrated thoughts and opinions that combine to shape your view of the world.
A belief does not have to have an ounce of truth, or even make sense.
But since you believe that belief doesn't have "an ounce of truth," would that belief have "not an ounce of truth?" And if your belief that belief's do not have an "ounce of truth" is true, then we have to consider whether that belief is true. This process will go on indefinitely, with us questioning whether our belief in something makes it true or not.
Congratulations sir, you have created a paradox.
:)
it is not my belief that a belief does not have to be true: it is my perception based on information that is factual and correct.
For example, if one believes in the official 9/11 story, they will still believe it true only by ignoring new info. it will be true ** in their head** , but not actually true.
Can you comprehend this?
I agree that a belief does not have to be true. Absolutely, not all beliefs are right. All Im saying is that some beliefs ARE right, because they reflect absolute reality. Im not saying all beliefs are factual or correct, that would be impossible.
I think I see what your saying. And I agree, that just because people believe something does not make it true. But, not all beliefs are wrong either. Beliefs that reflect absolute reality are absolutely correct, regardless of someone believing them or not.
(Pulling from our other conversation)
Beliefs are just a perception
So its your belief?
Also, before we continue I would like to thank you for this dialog, I am enjoying it and I hope you are too. Thanks for being willing to discuss this with me :)
no problem.
I do not claim to know the answers but I like to ask questions and that leads me into mind bending realities hahaha
