But you keep making assumptions about things, so it would make more sense to actually focus on what you know instead of what you believe I think. But you are free to believe whatever you like.

This place isn't the "out of necessity", but I have tasks to complete online, independent of this place. This is just something to do on the side.
But like I said, believe what you like. Enjoy.
We tend to care if our beliefs are true or not.
In the words of Matt Dillahunty "I want to have as many true beliefs and as few false beliefs as possible."
We can do that by having justifications for our beliefs..
And that justification comes in the form of evidence.
I think that is a fair statement, but how can you be the determining factor of someone else's evidence? Furthermore, wondering how you can generalize that notion to a whole group without somehow invalidating their position, or even the group as a whole. What makes your interpretation better than theirs? In which case you just end up with an infinite round-n-round.
A: My information is correct and yours isn't.
B: No you are wrong, my information is correct.
A: No, you are wrong about me. My evidence is better.
B. Wrong again, and everybody who thinks like you is wrong.
Infinite nonsense because nothing to qualify or disqualify.
If you believe I don't understand what "words" mean, them maybe specify those words, in addition to what you believe they mean or some source. This not only helps your case, but it gives me a chance to respond. Thus we have good dialogue and it's easier to reach a logical conclusion.
