Annoying Atheist Arguments

[Zone]

That's the distinction between a claim and a belief. You don't have to make a claim while professing a belief. If everyone in the world believed in the Lochness monster but you, then you are professing a belief - even if you are not making a claim.

If everyone else in the world but me professed a belief that the Lochness Monster which forms part of a Trinty in union with God the Father and the spirit of Hamish McDuff and by consuming the sacrament the Lochness Monsters body in the form of haggis and drinking of it's blood in the form of malt whisky eternal life will be granted, because I'm taking on the essence of the Lochness Monster. I wouldn't have a belief if I didn't join in, or if I said I think there's something a bit silly about it all. That opinion is just the default setting everyone would normally have.
