Is Unbelief Possible?
#56
RE: Is Unbelief Possible?
I think the problem here is the either/or thinking. You can believe something without evidence, with evidence, with proof, and all the stages in between. I believe the sun will rise in the morning. The evidence of that has been consistent in the 37 years I've been alive. I believe my roommate will pay her share of the rent on time because the evidence of that has been consistent for the past year and a half. I believe a friend of mine will text me tomorrow around noon because it happens about 80% of the time around noon on Fridays; similarly, I believe if she doesn't text me around that time, my sister will, because that's what happens.

The beliefs you want to suspend are the ones that fall on or below the lower spectrum of amount of evidence, IMO. The ones you want to research, think about, and either promote or demote are in the middle, and the higher end contains the beliefs that are worth cultivating; even if you're wrong, you'll learn something.
