You can assert you believe you have a pet dragon named Pete. That doesn't mean other people have to accept you have a pet dragon, and should take you at your word, especially if you also assert Pete has demands they must follow.
But likewise if I have a dog name pete, I don't have to prove I have a dog name pete if I assert it. People can believe me or not, and if I want to prove it, I can, and if I don't, I'm not required to.
Quote:Morality and justice are not faith-based constructs. They are moral, ethical and legal constructs.
They are faith constructs because they are not physical and rather are unseen/non-physical and can be denied. This would be akin to say belief in God is not faith but a God sense construct. They are similar, belief in these things don't have physical foundation, they are rather felt and believed in an unseen way.
