I don't even know what that is supposed to mean.

You believe it, I don't.

This is a promise to everyone who is willing to believe.
I've chosen to accept it as truth, and my only obligation is to inform others who are willing to accept it also, not to convince the doubters.
Fair enough. I see it as a silly belief, but each to their own I suppose.

Well quite. And I expect you to cling to it.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
