RE: Why belief in anything is a bold faced lie.

And I absolutely agree that we should question our held beliefs, but I disagree with the notion that simply because one believes something it is more or less likely to be true. My belief does not effect the truth value of an object or proposition.

Perhaps I didn't explain it well enough; Ill admit that.

What was meant to be said is that - from my perception and under standing - belief is a perception that does not change - even with new info; thus a belief is almost always wrong because it is a perception that doesn't change.

Again, this is just my perception based on my own definitions of the words.

But, if you believe in an absolute value, your belief should have no reason to change.
