So if you believe there will be no consequences will that disrupt the time space continuum or rip a hole in the very fabric of space. (or has my belief in sarcasm made me suffer the consequence of time wasting?)

I used to have beliefs when I was a teenager but then I grew out of them!.

The trouble with beliefs, is they always lead you up a blind ally!

Don't get me wrong I love being up blind alleys, just not for the wrong assumptions

No drawing a conclusion based on evidence is totally different than basing a conclusion based upon a pre determined set of beliefs?.

So I belive in the science of climate change because I can see and feel and rationalise the science and the data.

Whereas some folk will just say... It's all bollocks for no reason whatsoever.... They just "feel"or" belive " it.

Your confusing evidence with actuality!.

So the evidence concludes that most humans are peaceful unless they have irrational beliefs!.

Ahh so as long as my beliefs don't interfere in your frock wearing... It's OK!.

I'm not trying to be offensive but the point of what I'm trying to say on the tread is... Either you have something to back up your beliefs or you don't!.

Now the belief in wearing a frock isn't technically harming anyone where as the belief in you should be stoned is yeah slightly hurting the frock wearer!

Now why is your belief better than the other!.

Now my point would be that there's no evidence to suggest that either you wearing a frock or not wearing a frock would have any outcome either way!... Therefore I'm neither for or against it.

Now if holding a strong belief makes me in some in some way, half right, why shout me down if I say...

Transvestites are sub human!.

I mean you said you hold an Open mind to forthcoming evidence.. What if I belive the forthcoming evidence is that trannys and gay people are just... Wrong!

No you're confusing two completely different philosophical outcomes!.

Conservatives and socialists at least hold some beliefs by lifes outcomes and actions.

So I'm socialistic by my life's outcome... That's intrinsic to me, I've accumulated evidence in my life to suggest that's the best way forward in politics.

I'm actually saying this as point to the current weather and what the science has been saying to expect for about 25 years!.

So I've based my beliefs on what to expect by science and data!

Does this make my beliefs more valid than somebody who just says... Yeah.. It's all bollocks!

If my beliefs are no more valid through evidence...

Does that mean racists and homophobes have just a valid belief system based on fuck all evidence!

I don't know,,,,,, but I respect those who take comfort from their beliefs as long as that doesn't involve diminishing the value of those who hold alternate beliefs ......

Ahh so as long as my beliefs don't interfere in your frock wearing... It's OK!.

I'm not trying to be offensive but the point of what I'm trying to say on the tread is... Either you have something to back up your beliefs or you don't!.

Now the belief in wearing a frock isn't technically harming anyone where as the belief in you should be stoned is yeah slightly hurting the frock wearer!

Now why is your belief better than the other!.

Now my point would be that there's no evidence to suggest that either you wearing a frock or not wearing a frock would have any outcome either way!... Therefore I'm neither for or against it.

Now if holding a strong belief makes me in some in some way, half right, why shout me down if I say...

Transvestites are sub human!.

I mean you said you hold an Open mind to forthcoming evidence.. What if I belive the forthcoming evidence is that trannys and gay people are just... Wrong!

You see..... I don't mind if you disapprove of transvestites or gays..... you can't impose bigoted thinking upon someone who doesn't react to the provocation of ineffectual... taunting.....

Your still struggling to make a salient point to support your original post...

I used to have beliefs when I was a teenager but then I grew out of them!.

The trouble with beliefs, is they always lead you up a blind ally!

Don't get me wrong I love being up blind alleys, just not for the wrong assumptions

Drawing a conclusion doesn't mean you're right,, its just means you stopped considering the endless possibilities,,,,

No drawing a conclusion based on evidence is totally different than basing a conclusion based upon a pre determined set of beliefs?.

So I belive in the science of climate change because I can see and feel and rationalise the science and the data.

Whereas some folk will just say... It's all bollocks for no reason whatsoever.... They just "feel"or" belive " it.

You should probably read up on the problem of induction.

Everything you do is based on belief because there is no certainty in any scentific principal its falsifiability is an inherent characteristic of any inductive reasoning.

"I'm actually saying this as point to the current weather and what the science has been saying to expect for about 25 years!.

So I've based my beliefs on what to expect by science and data!

Does this make my beliefs more valid than somebody who just says... Yeah.. It's all bollocks!

If my beliefs are no more valid through evidence...

Does that mean racists and homophobes have just a valid belief system based on fuck all evidence!"

Racism and homophones or opinions not beliefs? Life experiences have taught me the weather person is not always right and we are all half left

Problem here matey is you dont have a basic understanding of science or logic.

Ok ill try to explain it for you you have a theory you and every one else tests it every way you can think of it passes 1000 tests perfectly?

You are now saying thats it its right,its a certainty its a law its a fact!

They next day you come up with one more test...it fails.

Now depsite it passing a thousand tests before it only had to fail once to be proven wrong.

You have beliefs, you belive (based on what you deem credible evidence ) what you think is correct.

Everything is a belief because you cant know anything for certain.

Heck delusions and hallucinations easily prove that you have no rational reason to trust anything your senses tell you at all.

Should I not ride motorbikes or sail around the earth until it's unequivocally proven!.

I like to think my beliefs are born from facts as we know them and that anytime they could change as and when we know better...

That doesnt give me the excuse to say frock wearer's or black's are sub human.... Because tomorrow I think we might finotevidence to conclude my beliefs right!.

Because you've clearly entered insanity or at least your not thinking logically... Why would you not think either of them are not detrimental to your life?"
.

This gets me to my very point of the thread!

If you hold crazy beliefs based on nothing but do nothing about those beliefs, then your at best Just insane...

But if you start building space ships to retrieve said unicorns.. Then your beliefs have consequences, no!

The definition of belief is as follows;

an acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof.

"his belief in extraterrestrial life"

trust, faith, or confidence in (someone or something).

"a belief in democratic politics"

synonyms: faith, trust, reliance, confidence, credence, freedom from doubt; More

Translation you don't need proof or truth in order to believe in something or someone, you only need to have trust and faith in it/them, which are not tangable and therefore cannot be proven therefore hold a consequence

"All beliefs?

All beliefs!

That's why they call them beliefs.

Really?

Please run me through the logic and entomology that lead you to the conclusion that consequences is why they are called beliefs.

Go for it.

I dunno you tell me!

I've never had irrational belief in my life.

Great ok, but how does that qualify your statement?

Lots of beliefs have no consequences at all.

If i belive a link unicorn lives in the center of our universe there is no consequence to that belief.

That's just being stupid...

It's got a consequence just not a very big one!

Whats the consequence?.

Your allowing your insanity in irrationality to overcome your logical rationale!.

You perception is that there's no detremental outcome to your beliefs are... Nonsensical at best

Whats the detriment?

That's the same question surely!

No im asking you what is the detriment of that belief.

What negative outcome is caused by it?.

Because you've clearly entered insanity or at least your not thinking logically... Why would you not think either of them are not detrimental to your life?.
