minus-square@PunnyName@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish8•1 year agoDepends on how you define belief. For me, it’s based on a lack of evidence / understanding. I don’t believe, if I can help it. In anything.
minus-squareFlying SquidlinkfedilinkEnglish7•1 year agoYes. I believe in things. Pencils, Neptune, internal combustion engines. You know, things that we have evidence for the existence of. Or by ‘believe in something’ did you mean some sort of woo-woo bullshit? Because I have no need to believe in woo-woo bullshit.
minus-square@richieadler@lemmy.myserv.onelinkfedilinkEnglish5•1 year agoYou are equivocating two meanings of belief. Believing things that are provable is OK. Believing mythical nonsense you were told in a story book or a temple is not OK. Faith is not a path for truth.
