What do you think, Joel? Do you think that rejecting a belief in a round earth requires justification?
This is pure 100% sophistry by the way.
That's irrelevant to my question. I simply asked what your basis is for thinking "I don't believe you." is a belief. Justification doesn't matter.
"I don't believe you." is not the same as "I believe you are wrong.
EDIT: It does require justification, yes; because there is evidence to suggest otherwise.
