Quote:A "belief" is a noun, and "believe" is the active verb of "believe". They mean exactly the same thing; they just have different uses.
That is what the dictionary definition states as true.
So, I can't say:
'don't believe' him, it is untrue? or
You 'shouldn't beleive him'?
Should I say:
'non-believe' him? or
'un-believe' him?, or
negative beleive him.
I shall rephrase my statement for political correctness:
If something is untrue, is it a belief? Even though we 'believe' it is true?
Can you explain please teacher. Because you stated:
Quote:belief - any cognitive content held as true
source: http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=belief
If we take the above definition as true, then every single thing that we understand and recognize as true, is counted as a belief. So everyone is a believer in something, but being a believer does not mean you have faith.
Or is this just your opinion. Who is to say your opinion is correct?
