I don't understand the question, I guess.
Of course kids and adults may believe different things. Atheists and Christians believe different things. I don't see how this is on topic here....?
So..... you don't grok the difference between;
Some one believing something to be 'True' (As in their mental idea matches reality) when, in fact, they ate wrong/mistaken.
Which is different to;
Some one believing a colour is both black AND white at the same time.
(If folks can give a better example of 'A' and 'Not A', that'd be great)
Y'see the difference between the two statements Bel?
Cheers.
Still not seeing quite what you're up to.
A statement which is merely false is not the same as holding contradictory beliefs. That's clear.
"Giordano Bruno was a martyr for science" is a false statement some people believe.
"God is omni-benevolent and allows children to die of cancer" is a logical contradiction which some people believe.
