No stimbo. You can't. I'll direct you back to my initial response to you.

Your analogy to donations isn't equivalent to beliefs. You are forced to form beliefs about ideas by there mere introduction to your conscious. It is impossible to be aware of something without forming a belief about what that thing is, even if your only belief is "I don't know what it is" it is still a belief.

Anyways, no donation and a donation of nothing are logically equivalent. One is "I gave nothing" the other is "I didn't give anything". Nothing and anything are antonyms. The statement mean the same thing.

As I said in another place, I have never watched Firefly although in this case I know it exists. It's not that I deliberately make a point of not watching it, I've just never seen it. I am aware of it, I have seen for myself evidence that such a thing exists. If someone were to tell me of a gritty reboot of the old Lost In Space series, starring the original cast, I would now be aware of the concept. My beliefs about it being real would depend on whether I find corroborating evidence or if indeed the only reference I have is that person telling me about it. In effect, the reality of the claim is deemed not guilty until something causes me to change my verdict.

And I'll thank you to capitalise my name from now on.
